He was silently waiting for something to say,
the cars drove by into a dark, fuzzy haze,
in the middle of the street he whispered in my ear,
keep your head high and your love near.
I ran to him without a second glance,
he threw me to the night before I had a chance,
locking me in a door there was no escape,
the evening dimmed as my love… drew near.

December Spring
Lovely Black
Open to Light
I saw forever,
than I walked away,
grabbing a pair of shoes and borrowing the month of May,
I made my way to mortality.
I know what I did was wrong,
my fear has kept me crippled.
I’m sorry I didn’t say anything,
I was trying to keep myself safe
instead I found no solitude.
You warned me, and I should have forgiven you.
I’m sorry I didn’t say anything, now there’s everything to say.
I wrote a poem in my dreams
I watched the words paint themselves across the night
I felt the melody beat through my body,
but, when I awoke my dream poem was gone
