Make Haste! My dreams! For sleep ensures
that in the night I'm only yours!
So, bring the darkness; bring the night
until dawn brings its humbling light.
...
The night; so quiet, so obscure
My thoughts are always seared
By remnance of the unforeseen
And all that I have feared
...
Fading gently into rest I listen to your words.
The deep contractions of your chest leave not a breath misheard.
Relaxing fully to the sound I feel a sigh release;
Enraptured by the bliss I've found that brings my soul to peace.
...
Let the ghosts of my past come before me.
Let them honor my self as they fly.
They've created the darkness which stores me,
Where I cannot watch angels go by.
...
Shadows, fears, & visions of remembrance
Become the apparitions rushing by.
Taking heed the poisonous resemblance
Misguided past regrets & dreams denied.
...
Beyond the mist and shadows
The shed of blood has ceased,
And remnants of a sacred war
Leave scornful lives decreased.
...
I'm sitting here, loving you, watching you sleep
And wondering when you will rise
I long for your laughter, the glow of your smile,
And the sparkle that comes from your eyes
...
</>I bear these burdens day by day, for not that you should mind,
but living souls and beating hearts need more than what I find.
Purpose does not matter if the empty days ahead
make less the comforts of the night when we are warm in bed.
...
I hope that goodness fills your life with everything you do
The laughter that you gift to those who mean the most to you
Will always be my weakness, for knowing that you're glad
In some ways makes me happy, not envious or mad.
...
I'd not dare complain
Of clean, vital rain
As falling like magic from heaven.
Remorsefully, so
...
