Impressions 1

Falling asleep so slowly
A gentle comforting haze
Covering the world so wholly
With a hypnotic kind of gaze

Inspired again

You are my muse
I knew it from the very start
I recognized your soul
And felt your beating heart

Not a physical part
Of my current steady life
But an uplifting source
Of the very purest light

Your graceful form and lovely voice
Your inherent style and flare
Your constant love and true devotion
Your focused faith and utmost care

Every last fiber
Of who you are
Speaks mighty volumes
To this fading star

I'm a Victim

I want you, can't you see
I'm not rid of you, I'm not yet free
I saw your face and knew inside
That those smoldering embers I still must hide
A desert voice of pain and rust
Flowing through the brittle dust
An ache made real despite the glare
A thoughtless whisper that I wouldn't dare
I'll see you soon in your electric glow
I'll be there swooning from the front row
A sweaty reminder of youth that's lost
But I still will fight despite the cost
For as your words fill my soul
I know for that night I'll be made whole

Say again?

Words can slice
Far better than a knife
But you're still young
Far smarter than everyone
One day you'll understand
On a cushion I hope you'll land
