The Face

The face

is pure, clean

eyes sad, calm

brown pools

gazing back 

so very calm

content, relaxed

lips full, dry

do not move

pink ribbons

thirsty, satisfied

pure, content 

brown pools

gazing back

the face

relaxed, humming

lips full, sighing

pink ribbons

dripping, licking

mesmerized, full filled

the face

pure, calm

eyes brown, dark

in pools

gazing back

so very calm

content, relaxed.

Infinity

I spin in

an infinity

with you blurring 

around me

with a touch

barely touching 

we spin,

feeling the desire

but unable to stop

we spin, 

knowing our touch

can never be

given up

for we spin in

an infinity

until one day 

we stop.

Black Canvas

A black canvas

is before me

lacking color

lacking life

sitting still

as I stare

at the candle light

flickering admits

the canvas 

flickering in circles 

against blackness

with a strength 

that this black canvas 

comes to life.

There Is A Beginning

There is a beginning

and there is a ending

but I can never seem 

to find the beginning

I only seem to find the end.

Carry Me

Take me down

to the river stream 

wash the blood 

from off my skin

let all the wounds inflected mend

all the scars to heal,

wipe my body clean

until the water is red

wipe away everything

that has bled.

Lift me from the water

to dry my bare skin,

smile upon me

as you wrap me in your arms 

to carry me 

to always carry me

until the end.

Cascading Leaves

Leaves cascade 

into red

coloring the ground 

all around

rising again

into the wind

grasping to the

bare trees

lost forever 

in the cold 

growing old

never to bear

only to turn brown

on the ground.

Breathe

Breathe

as the water

submerges the body

surrounding

collapsing 

lungs burning

Breathe.

Breathe

as the waters

depart from the body

rising

beating

lungs filing 

Breathe. 

Breathe

as the waters 

dance around the body

splashing

rushing

lungs inhaling

Breathe.
