Dare I manifest

all that I’m

not meant

to hold

 

There laid upon

my chest

a mirror

made of gold

 

One in which

reflects her loving

shine

 

But

 

Even if I loved her

to let her go


I'm sure even a mirror

made of gold

can fracture with time

If I were to tell you
I saw you in a dream

Would you let me go on
about how I saw
your soul gleam

Like a million fires
seen across sea

Now

My eyes can carry me
to your wonders

But

At your shore
I could never be

So

If I were to tell you
I saw you in a dream

could you tell me why
I awoke with a love

That was never meant
for me
Even under the greyest sky
Bright colors of nature come through.
So can you
Just find the strongest you.

Red flags disguised
amongst the roses

I can’t lie
i was distracted
by
her many poses

Quick

water down the fantasy  
can anyone
being some hoses

For

My dry eyes

had me thinking
“This is great”

Until I met her gaze
and realized
like the rest
she’s the same

To one day
meet
a kinder love

So I won’t
have to
feel
the loneliest
in my pain

I walk along
the stoney roads
where
pebbles seem to scatter
as I step

My lift
cloud be
a complement
to her wings

But it is the earth
to whom I’m kept

As she has me
looking up
just to find myself
looking down

Chained to the roots
of all the grounds
In which I wish to fly

It’s funny…

On this level
i can see
just where
all those pebbles hide

Once I lay with her

dare I never wake again


So I don’t have to go out

and start the search again

I Got lost in the garden

Not too long ago


Upon my arrival


I found my self a ***

With a beautiful golden rose


I could have loved her maybe

But now I’ll never know


For ivory stone roads

Beckon me to come home


Away from the

Flower potted wardens

That line the fields in rows


This soil wasn’t meant for love

Here no heart can grow


And upon my leaving


I had to bribe the trees

With a fresh bit of snow
