Poem:
In twilight's gentle embrace, they sigh,
Whispers on the wind, they softly fly,
Secrets of the past, and dreams untold,
Carried by the breeze, both shy and bold.
A lover's promise, a friend's goodbye,
Murmurs of hope that never die,
Each whisper, a fragment of a heart,
Drifting through the air, never to depart.
Among the leaves and through the trees,
Voices of those we've lost, a gentle b...
Come wayside by the boat
I hear whispers on the wind
Of a siren softly singing
“Adventures with a friend”
Can you hear her voice?
It sounds sweet like milk and honey
She’s calling me to join her friends
To swim to the bottom deep
The men nod their heads in unison
Their eyes locked on her voice
Do sirens really sing like this?
“Come, hop on in,” she beckoned me
Yet I swore I saw a fin.
“Let thi...
Whispers of the Wind
In the meadows where the wildflowers sway,
The wind whispers secrets, night and day.
Softly it caresses the blades of grass,
Whispering tales of a world that will pass.
Through the trees, it gently weaves,
Whispering secrets only it believes.
Carrying melodies from distant lands,
Whispering songs of forgotten bands.
It whispers of love, so pure and true,
Of hearts entwined,...
Suppose all my nightmares
found me without you.
Would you be afraid
to close your eyes too?
Open up, back when
the dreams began.
Reverse my thoughts
back to a time,
so I can feel again.
Devils in comas,
and a guilty light.
The eerie sound of
pulsating hearts,
beating in the chest
of night.
Tantalizing flaws
creep out of my lips.
It’s of those words
I should have never spoken,
at...
I can hear it daintily,
Faintly surrounding me,
The disconnect is drowning me,
For it's the root of all my troubles.
I can see me falling down,
Away from all your embrace now,
Far from your sweet face now,
I'm tumbling from this height.
I can feel your pillow lips,
Against my cheek and my heart rips,
For I cry each night and my tears drip
As I feel you slip away.
I can smell you on my skin...
Echoes off the beach,
Ghosts out of reach,
Moon pulling the tides,
Grey clouds in which she hides,
The rasp of sea on stone,
Like phantoms wishing to atone,
The wind bringing more than salt,
Whispers they did float,
Of stories about ships,
And maidens with shapely hips,
Pirates in search of plunder,
And ripping other boats asunder,
The wind will carry tales,
Of more than just sails.
…
Love you ...
I was alone.
I was alone,
And afraid,
And tired.
Tired of knowing,
Deep down,
That I was different.
That I was something…
Else.
And then you came and showed me.
You handed me a kingdom
Of shadows and unknown,
But also mystery
And freedom
And magic
And endless possibilities.
You gave me a palace of my very own,
With a midnight crown woven of silver dreams.
You gave me everything I could ask for.
