It comes in waves
Sometimes big sometimes small
Endlessly they pile up
Bang against me till I fall
...
Break the surface and you will see
Rawness, sadness
Fragile person that is me
Don't be fooled by my smile
...
I pull them back and see
Where passion and love once lived
Reminders of better times
Once joined in endless embrace
...
Happiness has me confused
Everyone seeks it
Keeps me slightly amused
For what is it
...
A touch of skin
A stirring
My hands move over the beauty of you
I am entranced
...
The leaves are falling
The darkness comes early
The sun leaves no warmth
The emptiness grows
...
Crisp is the air
Wind is silenced
It settles
And it freshens
...
Be still in the moment
Let time stand still
No more torment
Take my fill
...
Blessing in disguise it is
These troubled days I've had
Don't think I have ever
Felt so, ridiculously glad
...
I love you are words
Thrown about to please me
But they are empty
Like leaves from a tree
...
