Apart We're Still Writing...

Consummation of elation
childlike hearts like books conveying,
changing smiles and times and styles
from black to blue to graying.
Ever present longing
for acceptance from our masses,
time turns still from sands that spill
fell leaves and browning grasses.
Always promised one more dance
as hope to heart brings yearning
makes every mile seem all worth while
and keeps our pages turning.

Heavy

Heavy are the burdened hearts
when parts of them go missing
tainted are these salty lips
when tears come from their kissing
Empty are the sheets these days
when often we are sleeping
through my mind a heart designed
now broken in my keeping
No longer made the masquerade
that to the tock is ticking
it's not true the flame is through
upon my soul it's licking
Painful strikes upon the heart
when lies come through in kissing
heavy are the burdened hearts
when they don't know what's missing

Sleep to Dream

Laid myself to sleep to dream
and stars began to slide,
milky grains of infancy
as hearts and thoughts collide.
Riding velvet comets
streaking harmless 'cross the sky,
in worlds to dream revolves it seems
round only you and I.
Morning dawns and cosmic dusts
have settled planets align,
laid myself to sleep to dream
in worlds where you are mine.
