Sweet Dreams

If I asked you
Would you run away with me ?
Would you save my heart?
Take it
Don't let it shatter
Quickly before it falls apart
Someone , someday has to want it right ?!
One day no more
No  !
No more lonely nights!
So many can sit upon my chest
So many
Too many
Neither mind nor heart find time to rest
Eyes close , take a breath
Another day
Another test

Rupture

Reach in and grab it
hold onto it
slowly, carefully pull it out
engulf it
bury it inside you
let it feel your warmth
yours
let them touch and tangle
twist
take care not to mangle
as the push and pull
charge and retreat
friction fusing
pressure,
heat
feel the pulsing now increasing
naked now , no walls they're wearing
only this
this that they are sharing
Don't stop now, ever
why now in this damp weather
it feels so cold
both so bare
what happened to that moment I wished,
I thought,
I knew,
we almost shared

I think of this girl, night and day
her image in my mind never fades
She is sweet and kind, a caring soul
far more valuable than any jewel
My heart is kept deep within
to protect myself , though somehow
she found it and she crawled in
I hope she knows it is hers alone
to take to keep to call her own
the scariest thing to give away
I never planned it
I hope she stays
it aches when time passes that I don't hear
that beautiful voice enter my ear
It celebrates those few brief moments..
her greeting, her laugh , they are the beating of my heart
the light piercing the morning clouds
the moon entering the night
I see her eyes, her smile, her soft skin
I am lost in those eyes
I want to be the one who makes that smile appear
I want to run my fingertips over her slowly
to feel her energy
her tenderness
I want to feel her heart
does it beat like mine?
I must be patient
she has my time

Arms

The humming of the empty silence within reach
Like a world so freeing , constantly dreaming
So often, so many
This one different, you could never prove in speech
Or begin to understand
The feeling felt and known firsthand
The souls of ages passed , the current reserved man
Arms and hands to use in health
Uncover fortune
Dig up wealth
Yet the valuables in question , in mention
You'll find no specified direction
You could put a crater in this earth
So deep a pit you'd fall in first
Reaching and grasping with all your might
Suffocated by it's girth
You'd truly believe you wished you never started on this plight
It will be a candle here and there
That keeps you digging
Losing air
As it burns away the life within your lungs
