The Sea
Over the shrub, over the trees
Past the mud, out into the sea
White horses
Gallop between
Deep blue, all
Steered by breeze
The murmur of wood
The fumbling ocean
Conversate together
In chaos and calamity
On days like these
When the day is grey
I’ll be on my knees
Waiting for waters embrace
Whitewash runs up
Across the sand.
And water comes
To touch my hand.
Over the shrub, over the trees
Past the mud, out into the sea
The Candlelight Dance
Though the brightest lights
Has the darkest nights.
Oh, to be a flame,
The light in a room of darkness.
Turn warmth into pain,
With all the hot wax to harness.
Oh, to dance freely,
Moving with every gust of air.
Breathing so easy,
Wanting to shine bright without care.
But, with any harsh disturbance
Leaves behind such subtle fragrance.
Mask-less Romantics
Our two masks, now caught up
To the truth, feels strange.
What once passed between two
Is evading us.
Why one more blip in her
Episodic rampage
Couldn’t bring to fix too
Soon forgotten heartbreaks.
As our, bitter-sweet hearts,
Remind ourselves the failings.
Our masks will shred apart,
And we’ll toy with the remains.
Night Shower
When the rain falls and
The stars yet, shine true.
The clouds part, lookup,
Take a breath, reach out
Then ease your eyes shut.
The cousin of a
Sun pour, better still
The heavens reveal
Their riches of
Infinite wealth.
Heavens gates close, with
Those great fluffs of grey.
Rolling through the sky,
They amount in the distance
Holding out for their catharsis.
But some cannot contain
The rush of rain, washes
In release, escape, or relief.
Daring enough to break free
Too early, prematurely.
So, hold on, hold in,
Be brave and courageous.
Let it go in good time,
Be patient with yourself,
Be true and kind.
Though it won’t ever be enough,
That darkness dwelling always grows.
The stars that shed their tears
Are calling out, wanting to be known.
So stand alone in the night shower.
The divine cries out in pain,
When you cannot manage,
Command, control, reign
Think of water and flow.
Capture the tears that fall.
