Dreams

To hold you
To love you
To keep you
To bind you
To know that you are ever mine
These are my dreams

Shhhh

Rest, my love
Rest your words
There is no need
For them here

In your silence
I still hear you
And I know

Druid

Wind blowing
Across the hills
I hear your name
Whispered in the trees

I love you all the move
For sending to me
Such a reminder
On the breeze

As if I could forget you
My Druid
My Love

Say You Love Me

To watch you
To know you
To know your heart
Better than you do
To feel a love
That you deny
Let me be the one to show you
What it is to love

Say you love me
So that you know it too

The Noisy Party

Chatter chatter
Bicker and bitch
Surrounded in conversations
Lost in which is which

Points of view
That matter not to me
But as long as you're here
It's where I want to be

Stripes

Soul of a tiger
Hidden in smaller body
But I see your stripes

Effleurage

Your touch
Like that of a sculptor
Moving
Molding
Healing
Creating
Destroying
How good it feels
To be under
Your touch

Silence as Water

The silence here
Between your words
Makes me frantic
And yet
I treasure them
So very
very
much more
When you do speak

Like the sweetness of water
To one dying in the desert
Is the sweetness of your words
To me

Let me drink of your life

Creation

You create with your hands
Things that you give with love
You create with your words
Things that have never existed at all

Is there anything you cannot do?

Intimacy of Friends

The intimacy of friends
It is a beautiful and powerful thing
How they hug you
How they hold you
How they laugh with you
How they play with you
With love from the heart
But not love like mine

Let me love you

Time

It cannot possibly be
That they cherish
Dream of
Wish for
Cry over
Time spent with you
Like I do
And yet
There you go
Sharing your experiences
With them instead

Waiting

I waited
But you never came
I watched
Unwilling to show the others
That I was there
Waiting for you
And I waited
But you never came

I forgive you

See You Soon

So excited
Knowing I will see you
Knowing I will share the space
That you breathe in
I can barely stand
The waiting
The knowing
That it is almost
Time.

Insomnia

Alone without sleep
As darkness enfolds your form
I dream of your eyes

Empathy

Your tender heart
Shattered
By such a cruel world
As this
Your empathy
Makes my heart hurt
And makes me long
To hold you
Stroke your weary eyes
And make it all
So much better a world
Just for you

In Your Life

Do those in your life
Understand what it is to
Be those in your life?

The Power of Words

Words have power.

I have long thought
That I had the power over words.
But I was wrong.

Looking back at the foolish things
Things I have done
For words
Words that mislead me
Words like "I love you".
Words like "forever".

I never controlled them.
But it comforted me to believe that I did.
And so I wrote.
I called myself writer.
And believed that it was I
Who mastered the words.

And now, I watch you.
As the words fall from your lips.
Your tongue, silver and sharp.
But your words, so gentle.
Easing a smile from my wary heart.

So easy for you
The words
You own them

And through them
You own me.

Wanderer, Companion

Wanderer
Now companion

You walked into my life
Strong
Brave
Powerful
You saved me from a beast
Rescued me from the tower
And I am ever yours

Wanderer
Companion
Beloved

Flame

I watch the flame dance
Flickering candle light
My world
Lit only by the candle
By this screen
By your existence
I bask in the light of you

Secret Smile

A soft, secret smile
Thinking of the things you said
Last night in my dream

Words

I read your words
Hunger for the description
Of your life
Of your world
With a voracity that
I was unprepared for

Tell me everything
Let me know you
Through your precious,
Precious
Words

Rain

Rain falls softly
Little trails of water
Running down the window panes
I watch them
Little drops falling down
Rain nurturing the plants
Bringing the land to life
And I smile
Thinking of you

Wherever You Are

A soft dreamy sigh
How I wish I were with you
Wherever you are

Send

Moving almost against my will
I type the message to you
A love letter in your e-mail
Will you hear the love in my words?
Will you find my heart between the lines?
I am afraid
I am excited
I hit "send"

Answer

Wild eyed
And wondering
Calling your name
My love, do you hear me?
Will you answer the call
Of my heart?

Do You?

Do you feel me?
Do you feel my heart?
As you sleep, can you hear me?
Do you hear me whisper your name?

Soulmate

Soft his eyes
Light his gaze
Deep his voice
Kind his smile
Joyful his laugh

Soulmate, I have finally found you

Right Now?

I fret
I fidget
I wonder

What is he doing... right now?
What is he thinking about... right now?
Is he reading?
Is he writing?
Is he sleeping?
Is he dreaming?
... like I am dreaming of him?

I fret
I fidget
I wonder
