Ever Silent ...... (newest poems are at the bottom.)

Touch me

Breathe me

Hold me

Know me

Make me a part of yourself.

You burn me with your eyes

While you watch me from the side

No matter what the move you make

You take my breath away.

Won’t you breathe me all the more?

Strive for it, reach for it,

Take me in your hands

I want to know you, touch you, hold you near

If you never let me go

Maybe I could live again.

Tears I don’t cry overflow in my heart

There’s a loneliness I can’t see to cure

Won’t you try to take it away?

Heal me, see me

Touch me with your fire

This desperation grows uncontrollable

Take away...the need...to be desperate...

I’ll ache my heart to sleep

While you’re forever in my mind.


Ray of Light

 

You’re so quiet

So incomplete

Your sarcasm drips through cold cracks in your heart

Is it hard for you not to be desperate?

Is it hard for you to live?

The thoughts in your eyes look so alone.

If you asked it of me

My arms would hold you till the break of dawn

...or at least until your pain was gone...

You twist my heart in half,

When you look at me like that

I suppress a smile of joy

Whenever I hear your laugh.

So casual, so indifferent

You’re a rebel, what’s your cause?

Do you dream of me at night...

Can you feel my gaze upon you

Will you give up your painful fight?

I don’t know why

I feel the things I feel for you

“Too complex to explain...”

Maybe.

You make these claims

You claim to love me

Am I the closest you can get to the light?

I make you smile,

Oh how I love to make you laugh

What is it that you see in me,

That brings you to the heart?

Baby won’t you let me hold you?

I can take away the dark.

I’ll let some of your shadow into my life

To bring some light to yours.

I’ll help you see

I’ll help you feel

Have you seen the diamonds in the stars?

Have you heard the sapphire ocean roar

While deep grey glass waves

Crash and shatter upon the shore

Can’t you see that watercolor in the sky...

Experience...

Peace in tranquil emerald scenes

The whispers of the trees in the winds

The breath of the night on your face

Look into my eyes

Feel my lips against your skin

How can you help,

But want to live again?

I see the loneliness in your deep eyes

Why have you chosen me...

Am I your ray of light?


Nothing

This aching, throbbing numbness

So insanely loud in her ears

A subconscious oxymoron

To be so highly sensitized

Towards the unfeeling mass of her heart

Winding black roads, never ending

Weaving their cold ways through the past of her mind

Never stopping,

Never slowing,

It’s a tangle of the insane...

Her eyes cannot focus

Her heart cannot feel

Blank stare flutters as haunting chords insinuate themselves upon her mind

How can it be possible

To feel so much

And feel nothing, nothing, at all...

She needs a shock,

A gasp of breath

Passion reincarnate

Tears are but a fleeting thought

She’s that frail shell of a girl...

Sight has dulled to deadened hues

Nothing seems to move...

-         A gasp   -

Sudden breach of her impassioned security

A stab of pain courses through her body

Collapsing to the ground

Suddenly fetal,

Shaking for breath

No tear has the strength to escape

Wrapping her arms around herself,

            a weak embrace, no warmth

Fleeting thoughts ensue...

Does no one care enough to fix her?

Pained eyes close,

The black closes in...

 

A touch,

A hand,

Upon her face

The warmth shocks her eyes awake

A deep, dark gaze meets hers

It pierces her straight to the soul

His hands begin,

They trace their way down her frozen cold body

Caressing each delicate curve

She’s immobile,

Entranced

Gaze screaming with intensity

She longs for the heat in his eyes.

His lips touch her face, her neck, the gentle curve of her chest

She’s on fire now,

She feels nothing but fire

Passionate and deep,

She’s at the mercy of his hands...

His fingers trace her in a rhythm

His kiss is on her heart.

Breathing uneasy and shaking, so weak

But strong enough to hold on with everything she is

Hot tear escapes from her eye

It drips to her hair,

Then a thousand more follow

Senses alive,

Her heart now breaks in two

The agony pierces her soul

It’s better, though,

It’s better this way...

To feel nothing is the absence of life.

Perfect symmetry, a perfect sensuality

Her heart now throbs with a perfect real pain

She’s in the refuge of his embrace.

It’s better to feel,

It’s better to bleed

Than to feel nothing...

Nothing at all.


Claustrophobic
It seems all she ever does is rip the hearts
Of the ones she cares the most
No matter how far she runs
She leaves a trail of pain in her wake...
Shattered dreams, careless blood, a needy beautiful soul...
Why are things never simple?
Someone’s out to get her
A hell of confusion is their game...
She cries to heal, she cries to be healed
She’d split her soul, to heal...
Touch those broken hearts, bleeding wounds, and drowning eyes...
Life’s so beautiful sometimes
She cannot scream but for the contrast
It blinds her, but opens her eyes
She’s so lost, and she cannot hold herself...
Is it a curse, this way of hers
This air of one who breaks hearts
While quietly sipping her tea
Reality, though, she’s grasping at the porcelain shards,
So tightly that her fingers bleed
Breath unhindered is something she no longer knows
Eyes tightly shut,
She’s trapped,
The walls are closing in
She can’t think quickly enough
To save herself alive
She whispers, pain coursing through her body, the dark closing in
“Burn, passionate fire burn...
while I die my slow death in the inferno.”
Will the rain ever come?
Will her heart be renewed?
There is absolutely no way to tell.

Discarded Wings

 

Breaking new ice of a fresh frozen trail
The night air breathes down my neck
Demanding to know where my steps are leading
I am struggling to stay significant
In an anonymous world
My longing eyes search the heavens
Tiny pinpricks of wisdom cry silent solutions
And fall on ever-deaf ears
My eyes return to the path,
Disappointed, but not leaden
A sigh, quiet and frozen, leaves a cloud
Slight cracks as my steps proceed
Breaking the slience of the darkness
Mute trepidation
Bounces around in my head
My surroundings are foreign
My steps shaky and uncertain
A slow fluttering catches my eye
Ice crystals, white as new life
Are falling like frail, discarded wings all around me
Stopped dead in my tracks,
I listen
The snow-falling sound resonates in the night
Closing my eyes, I lift my face towards the heavens
Tiny old wings take hold of my lashes
As if clinging for new life
So much to breathe,
So much to feel

I cannot feel

Anything but content.
