Kiss Of A Dream

Alone I lay, deep in my slumber.
Under a dreamscape of blues, pinks and umber.

I was dreaming of the love of an old lover you see,
When another love of days gone by spoke to me in my mind, ever so gently.

Wake now, my love, for I am here now,
Do not ask why, do not ask how,
For to ask shall rip the veil under which we hide.

I rose from my bed, and allowed him the entrance he sought.
Our eyes locked, and try as I might to resist, our lips met soon after.

The taste was the same as it was in my memory,
The power, the pleasure, the pain, as sweet as I remember so long ago.

Ambrosia mixed with the sting of a yellow jacket,
My head began to buzz with a very loud racket.

So much I wanted to tell you, the emotion I still felt..
But the world has moved on, since last we met.

The Winter is always my favorite time of year,
My memories of you, with steam rising off of you,
Showing me the fire that raced through your veins still.

Passion and love that even Time stood still for,
Over the years has quieted to a dull roar.

We existed outside of time and space,
Lost in our own world, that no one could see
Or feel or destroy, we were different from them, out of place.

Eventually we had to return to the real world,
Full of distraction and responsibility.

Two souls divided by the earthly choices we made,
Our time in the sun now covered in shade.

But the memory of those long Winter nights remain,
And I know, since the day we met, that I would never be the same….

Until I'm Laying In the Sun

Quiet and alone in the dark I sit
Once caused fear but now I’m content
It no longer matters what the others think
My self worth is afloat and it will not sink
I may be harsh, I may be dark
I never said being in my world was a walk in the park
Love you I do, but in my own dark way,
I will be sad if you go but I cant make you stay
I love the sun, but I prefer the shade
Those that have balance really have it made
The moon bathes my world in a silvery light
I no longer run from the shadows in fright
To much time in the sun makes me burn
For the moonlight’s embrace I do yearn
Till the world once more spins around
And laying in the sun is where I will be found

Empty Streets

I’m walking down an empty street,

No one I particularly care to meet.

Moonlight shining bright above me,
Casting shadows as far as I can see.

I want to be alone but I am lonely,
I want to be loud in a place that is quiet.

The faces I want to see float before me,
Their voices mock me from far away.

Trapped in a cage of isolation,
Trapped in a cage of my own making.

I used to be free, I used to be alive.
Now I just feel like part of the hive.

I gaze up at the stars as I walk,
The cold white light in a sky that is stark.

I wish I may, I wish I might.
Feel just a spark on this cold dark night.

I’m walking down an empty street,
No one I particularly care to meet.

But on the chance our paths may cross,
Don’t step on my heart where it’s just been tossed.

In My Dreams

You come to me, late in the night
Deep within my dreams.

Showing me things not of our past
But of things that we have not shared.

I wake with a smile on my face
Yet tears in my eyes.

The fact that you are still here after all this time
Comes as a bewildering surprise.

You no longer walk in this realm of light
You walk in the shadows deep in the night.

Everywhere I look I am reminded of you
I sit here and wonder just what should I do?

Love that carried me my whole life through
Distance meant nothing, time had no meaning.

A year or a day, it was always the same
Whenever I needed you, to my side you came.

Do I need you still, and just do not know it?
Or does your love for me remain, and this is how you show it?

Miss you I do, more than you know.
The sunshine of memories now covered in snow.

You took your own life, the demons did win
All I can remember, is that slow sideways grin.

The veil grows thin, maybe that’s why you’re here
As you can reach me easily this time of year.

I know not why, or what it means
All I know is I will see you in my dreams.

Nothing Lasts Forever (Poem)

I wrote this for my ex-girlfriend a while back, and luckily we have remained friends. I wrote this not to long after we broke up for the second time...she will always hold a special place in my heart..

Friendship came easy
Our conversations light and breezy.
Then came the fire
Hot with desire.
You took care of us both
When no one else could.
Two years passed by oh so fast
I was so sure that we were built to  last.
Time and distance and others in the way
No magic words that would make you stay.
The fire of another has caught your eye
But even still my love does not die.
My love is the reason I will let you go
But in your heart I hope you know.
Even as you walk away
No magic words to make you stay.
Nothing lasts forever I see
But always know if you ever need me,
Look over your shoulder
And there I will be…

Welcome!

Greetings! Thank you for stopping by my little neck of the writing woods.

My purpose here is to have a place to post my non day to day writing. Poetry, short stories, flash fiction, and things of that nature.

I will post things about or having to do with writing, or reading, and other things of a literary nature from time to time as well.

I have been throwing the idea of creating a blog for my work for some time now, but after finding and reading Julie's blog over at Julie Is Writing, I decided to go for it. Her blog provided a lot of inspiration to me, as some of the things she is doing sound like something I would like to do as well.

I have a few other blogs, but those are day to day type deals, and I just did not feel comfortable posting my work mixed in with my everyday life, so here we are!

I hope you enjoy your time here, and I hope that you come back soon!
