Rise of the Sun

Soft summer breezes blow through my hair,
coming up behind me,
I feel your presence,
I know you are there.

A touch of your skin,
the heat from within,
a smile explodes across my face,
like falling in love all over again.

We tango all night,
as though the sun may never rise,
acting like only this moment counts,
this moment we're in.

At last the sun rises,
with you and I awake holding each other in arms,
I dream of you and I together in love.

Something Poetic

A hole opens in the empty space of my mind,
a star screams as another planet dies.
Warm lips kiss a cold and limp body,
lips turn cold as ice,
death stands still.

Terrified of something from my past,
running backwards to catch up with it.
Frightening images of nothing sear my mind,
a single tear frees it's self from my eye.

I've got to escape or else I won't go anywhere,
but there's nowhere to go.
Nothing lurks in a dark corner waiting for me,
something isn't right here.

Cursing the heavens I call out for answers,
and without hesitation they are given to me,
but still I do not listen.

Suddenly I feel stiff and without warning fall dead,
continuing on my path to nowhere in particular,
I contemplate how I'm still living.
