All That Is You

All That Is You

Sister mine, your heart does weep,

but pity, nay, not even when you sleep,

for your strength is honed in troubled times,

not while you sit to speak in rhymes,

beyond the pain, above the sorrow,

where one day you will perch in all of your tomorrows,

the storm you weathered, which eroded your heart,

will be as nothing in the light of a brand new start,

but until such time when you are set free,

remember most that you are the key,

and never more do you walk alone,

nor my friend, do you have to atone

for others sins and wrongful deeds,

tis not your job to pluck the weeds.

If nothing else you hear in your haste,

remember while your life lays in waste,

that you are loved, oh yes, tis true,

you are loved for all that is you.

Hidden

Hidden

I am bound by the words,

which I can not say,

I am bound in your arms,

dancing, slow in gentle sway,

One word from your lips,

and I am yours to command,

and from me, offered up willingly,

is all that you demand.

One look from your eyes,

one touch of your hand,

brings me to my knees,

for no more can I stand.

Left breathlessly captivated,

I am enthralled by the sight,

of you standing before me,

offering up passionate delights.

One single moment,

in the space of a life,

hidden from censure,

behind a world full of strife,

Before you I stand,

naked and alone,

while tears stream down

with the wish to atone,

for a single moment stolen,

from time's eternal grace,

where all I perceive,

is the tender love on your face,

and all that I long for,

is you to embrace,

without word or censure,

leaving us in disgrace.

You, a single entity,

that calls to me near,

you, my dearest of friends,

that eternally I hold dear,

for you I will stand,

for you I will be,

all that you need,

as we drift out to sea,

for you alone, today,

your guide I will be,

the gentle hand to lead you,

through all that you see,

for you alone today,

I will be me.

Bound Together

Bound Together

I have loved you in times gone by,

in lives long past and now forgotten,

where once upon a twilight crescent,

laid before you, all of life's treasures begotten

offered up upon heaven's gleaming altar,

for you alone in gentle sway,

was the heart's truest love devoted,enshrouded,

a single tear drop to end the fray,

of life's chaotic motion,

drowned in voice, ungodly scream,

a gentle hand to guide you forth,

along fate's endlessly eternal stream.

And yet, still now you wander forth,

alone and blind, you can not see,

what stands before you beckoning,

without exception, unconditionally,

infinite love, beyond flesh's delights,

unbound in passion's siren call,

where lustful cravings beat upon the shore,

slowly eroding your internal wall.

But still it waits upon you patiently,

for eyes to open and be blind no more,

and still it calls for you eternally,

to rise above oceans and let yourself soar.

For once upon a time,

perpetuity did decree,

a single moment's awakening,

where in, one day, you will be free.

So hold on, in steadfast stoicism,

for you are not alone, along the pass,

though eyes be closed and heart encaged,

we stand as one in united mass,

hand in hand we walk,

though you do not yet perceive,

we are connected, eternally,

through heaven's gentle weave,

bound together upon a journey

few can truly conceive.

Sister, brother, father, mother,

friend and lover, too,

together we walk in unison,

together, it is me and you.
