I lie back
as the sun
warms my naked soul
Smiling
I know you’re there
I can feel you
as the gentle breeze
rushes over me
I can smell you
as the summer rain
falls from the sky
caressing my skin
letting this moment
bring us together
for there is no other love
in this world
that I want
but yours.

in the quiet
of the night
when all
the world
is fast
asleep
I climb inside
my mind
where thoughts
of you
drench my soul
and that’s
where I stay
until the
world awakes

Inside my walls
I find you
you’ve built
a home
deep inside
the untouched
parts of myself
where I hope
YOU
live forever

The morning
lingers
and the scent
of us
still fill my mind
my words
fall gently
upon
this blank page
and I dream
once again

What if

dreams came true,

would you

ever stay awake?

I catch

your smile

in my heart

where it leaves

impressions forever

the lies
fall
one
by
one
from your
imperfect mouth
they stumble
and crumble
falling all the way
down
leaving a trail
of broken words
to lay on
the ground
for another
to fall upon

But not me
I no longer
take that path
I’ve chosen
another way

the night
burdens us all
forgiveness soon fades
leaving us trapped
in darkness
cries of the heart
can be heard
in a room filled
with silence
no longer afraid
as I’ve seen
a lifetime of hate
masked by sweet lies
I pray for rain
to cleanse my broken soul
oh God let it rain
the tears they fall
one by one
from the sky
shhh
no words are needed
the story
has already been told
written by these once
innocent eyes

The smoke bellows out
high above the house
the sins of the night
keep silent within
as the flames
reach their new height
watch the broken glass
as it shatters
to the floor
the memories kept safe
locked away
behind closed doors
close your eyes
you try to escape
hoping to leave
everything this time
but nothing ever changes
you just find new walls
to hide behind
the broken, battered
lies are left to torture
the next

The fire rages
leaving behind the only secrets

Secrets of the soul
