Daisy Chain

Daisy Chain Oct 2012

Don't worry, I am home
Your return, forever warm
In my mind is your sanctuary
I hold you there
I can love you there
Remember your playful hair
Long to be under your skin
To taste the air you're breathing in
In this place, in this space
I can still kiss every inch of your face
Watch the moon shadow pace
With time slowing to an eternal chase
Oh how I love it here
The hairs on my neck salute you still
Succumbing to your every will.
This world defies all that is known
As I die and come to life, both at once.
As I drown like a feather
And sink like a stone
I remember feeling that once.
This land of me and you
Soon become a land completely new
Such a belonging, indescribable in every way
How I wish I could stay
How I wish it wasn't a dream
But that's all you'll ever be
My enigma, my ghost
my memory.

Mini-death.

Left, right, left, right.
Darting from track to track.
They wind and intertwine,
join and turn back.
Around and around,
tiresome and lost.
Following false signs.
Creating, illuminating,
ignoring and disintegrating,
never ending cycle of
thought.

.. silence..

An Opening - a Clearance
Death? Disappearance?
No, just the sweet caress
of sleep.

Shrug

eyes as eyes.
  hands as hands
touch so dry
  evidently bland
lips as simple
  as your reflection
obvious and transparent
  strenous affection
good as bad
  bad as worse
sweet as sour
  love as curse
walk away my dear
  while you still can
I'm the hourglass
  You're but a
grain of sand...

Take care.

You come and you go
like a temperamental tide.
A slightest change in wind
you quickly retire.

Back within your darkness,
the stillness and the cold.
All for what reason?
A freedom so called?

As you pull back into your distance
I'm left to stand knee deep.
My dress dancing upon the surface
of the water you keep.

My arms drop to my sides
and my hair sticks to my lips.
The ones that you deserted,
the ones you could have kissed.

I don't cry for you.
I don’t bother to wave.
I was your choice to run
It was mine to stay.

As the moonlight draws my face
upon the black canvas of your night.
I stare in total awe.
In surrender.
You will not find me later.
In case you feel you were wrong.
For the same tides that saved you,
will wash my footprints gone.

— The End —
