a few old poems I found while cleaning my computer out :)

Love Lived

The beauty of a moment captured in time

Of peace that cannot be shattered

Preserved by an insight

Conveyed by a vision

No longer a mere moment but a truth to behold

The gift of a life dedicated to love

A life of a prayer that is lived

A blanket when cold

A visit when loneliness creeps

A warm sweet kisses on your head

Profound in devotion

This love is reflex

in world of chaos and confusion

Compassion replaces the cacophony

At last, the sanity of love

And a lifetime of moments to gather

Summer Silence

The sand washes in over a forgotten beach

Life continues of course

But will not be the same

I remember that summer day when I last saw you

What I would have said, have done, had I known

The days seemed so endless, yet they ended so abruptly

And for you they were far to few

The bleached benches still stand

And the hot pavement too,

Wreaking havoc on the feet of small children

There are a few people here today

A party or a a barbecue

Ignoring them is effortless

My mind is a place far from here

There's no life away from you

Life itself seems like background noise

There is a profound silence

And it is reigning in my head

I break through it to ponder how I stand here alone

And I think of how it should be you instead

My heart is filling with a longing

Never to be realized, never to leave me

Every question unanswered until we meet again

The summer of silence plays on

And on

And on

Unaware

I sit and I ponder and my mind wanders endlessly

The subjects dancing about in constant flux

Inside my head s a myriad of musings

Can you understand?

Is it true that anyone could?

I could let you in for a peek

And I suppose that I will, that I already have

Just don't get to cozy in my thoughts

This is my sanctuary, this is mine

So be my guest for a time, but then you must go

Who can you trust with a thought that is your own?

These have taken a while to reclaim from a certain intruder

Before I knew it he was there in my head

He was there, I let him in and I was caught

I had shared a part of myself

And now I wonder more than ever before

Is my life on shelf?

Are my thoughts part of another tale?

Yes, and now they are free for anyone to read.

How improbable.

It won't happen again

You were here to browse and now you can go

The depths belong only to me

So sorry if I accidentally caught you

Just as he caught me

So unaware...
