Melodies in the Storm

The wind sings out his name

As she howls past the windows

Seeking him out... 

Searching in corners 

Missing him so... 

The rain plays 

A steady drumbeat

In honor of him

A forlorn rhythm

In the silence of his memory 

His name is scrawled across the sky 

In bold neon lightning 

By the hand of angels 

Summoning him

Closer to her 

The thunders rolls 

And the storm beckons 

"Gather closer 

Listen to the symphony 

of heartbreak and misery 

Of her missing him

And him being unable to see" 

A sad love story 

Played out in the skies 

Timeless and true 

Forever 

Missing you...

Warrior

He says I'm a warrior

And he knows me best

So I guess he must be right... 

I gather my weapons 

And put on my armour

And I prepare to fight 

Out on the battlefield 

Blood streaming down my face 

I do not back down 

My sword sings

As it glides through the air 

All my fears lay thrown... 

I will not be defeated 

I will not give up

I will not rest 

Until I am 

The last woman standing... 

The best of the best...

Conversations...

I hold conversations with you

Inside my head

Secret talks 

That are privy to none but me

I tell you about my day

And how I'm feeling.. 

You tell me about yours 

As we hold each other 

We laugh together 

And I know I'm not judged... 

You hold my hand 

And share my thoughts 

And in those moments 

I have no secrets from you 

You know my desires 

And I know yours... 

Such special times 

That exist only in my imagination... 

In the real world,

You've had a hard day, 

I've been too busy, 

You can't tell if I'm down

And I don't know when you need me

Our words are sharp 

And our tones are hasty... 

But inside my head... 

Time slows down 

It's just you and I... 

And we talk 

Endlessly... 

~S~

Reminders...

Just when I start thinking

This time it will be different,

This time it feels real,

He reminds me...

I got comfortable 

With the daily chats

And constant concern,

But he reminded me... 

I thought this time, 

I would come first 

Because he makes me feel wanted 

And then he chose to remind me.... 

It occurred to me 

That we're meant to be 

Because we fit so well together, and, 

Once again, he reminds me... 

He continues to remind me 

With his words and actions 

And his roving attention 

That I am not good enough, 

But, This time I will not forget...

I am more than enough...

I am a gourmet meal 

And he snacks from a food truck...

~S~

Pulse

I feel the steady rhythm

Dancing beneath my skin

As the blood flows 

Through my veins

I hear the beat

Of my name

Tapped out 

With the ebb and flow

Of my life force 

Below the surface 

I hear the words 

Resonate with this message... 

Free me

And you will be rewarded...

This melody 

Hypnotises me

And I reach out

For the cold steel... 

My fingers wrap around the handle

And, I watch enthralled 

As the blade floats toward me

To be plunged into its human sheath 

Emancipating that which has been

Held as a prisoner for so long...

~S~

The Darkness

It scrapes 

Against the walls

Of my heart 

I feel it's claws 

Dragging 

Slowly 

Down the sides 

As it opens up 

A tunnel 

Into my veins

Seeking

Searching 

For a way 

Into my soul 

This darkness 

Grows 

Within the confines 

Of my chest

Until 

I can no longer breathe 

And I feel 

It take over... 

I am

Overwhelmed....

Until

All I see, 

All I feel, 

All I sense,

Is the dark... 

~S~

Time...

I've had such a busy day

I've been running around 

Trying to figure it all out 

I've had such a restless night 

Tossing and turning 

Overthinking and worrying 

But in the midst of my day's chaos 

I find myself day dreaming 

Thinking of you 

And when the night gets lonely 

I lose myself 

In memories of you 

An oasis in the desert 

Of my daily toils 

A shining light 

In the moonless night... 

These are the things

You are to me... 

You slow down time and provide solace

When the day gets out of control... 

Talking to you speeds up time

When each moment drags on slow.. 

My friend... 

My confidante... 

The Timekeeper 

Of my happy place 

I am grateful for you

~S~

Contrasting Souls

We are worlds apart

Him and I... 

So different... 

Incompatible you may say... 

I get lost in fiction... 

He is grounded in fact...

I'm a whimsical sculpture... 

He is set in stone...

I lose myself in emotions... 

He is solid and strong.... 

He wipes away my tears... 

And I don't even know what is on his mind... 

I just wish I knew.... 

How to get through the barrier.... 

Of the constantly moving veil... 

Between our contrasting souls... 

So that we can fit together...

In abstract picture perfection... 

~S~
