Distance

Halls are empty
silence echoes past laughter
traces of your smile

we would dance
each seeking solace
a midnight embrace

sometimes we open up
staring at your feet
tenderness melting ice

believe what you want
response to my doubt
lips ever slight pout

our closeness grand
before eyes saw clear
distance begs questions

there is no sun
yet shadow is cast
hollow eyes scream

the world ended
a pebble remained
still warmth it held

to be for you
distant midnight wish
might you stare at a sunless stage

Dark within

your smile
drew me
desire grew

picture perfect
fresh start
dreams claimed

flirt monger
laughter’s aura
savvy manager

world traveler
window ornament
healing abated

minced words
hearts erupt
glances thrown

sure like you
now hate you
asshole!

undo

deaf to it all
crowds aimless wander
muffled words
lost meaning

don’t feel inside
I repeat love you
safely behind a wall
unattached set motions

bright lights conjure
concentrate to forget
solace in the dark
glitter myriad eyes

features of stone
broad shoulder of strength
eyes distant pain
only similar recognize

unreachable heart
reject rescue
darkness consumed
nights fallen

touch heal devils
kiss smears lipstick
eyes penetrate soul
smile may save me

Void

smiles and cries
possibilities endure
adventures life

inward negate
perverse wings
diminished light

curves wash
hope lingers
alignment horizon

consume dread
shadow image
limitation fear

touch glimmer
heal soul
grow awaken

fallen heart
aspiration extinguish
void spark
