Rearview Mirror

The rain begins to fall upon the memory I keep of you

Eyes fixed on a drizzled rearview mirror as the images of us fade in the distance 

Holding on to the edge of the aged photograph that captures your irresistible smile 

The days keep passing into night 

Stretched over the sunrise of the house of pain 

Our bodies create the perfect poetry 

Every line of you in impeccable symmetry colliding into my flesh

Eyes locked and lost in each other's souls

Drift between the sheets until my hand finds yours 

Fragile heart in my chest is breaking 

Thinking of the silent miles that separate our lives 

I sit idle upon the desert grains and take refuge in the mountains 

But hope remains for the day I soak in wave after wave

Soul Keeper

You are my soul keeper 

The hollow my mind sinks into

Every fibrous core stirs awake sleeping hope 

Delighted dahlia spring in esteem Finger tips brush over your brow

Magnificence dances upon your prominent cheek 

My ear lay upon the chiseled perfection of your chest 

Thumps drumming of a heartbeat serenade 

Overcome by the heat of you 

Safety in the walls of your embrace 

The secrets kept hidden in the basin of your eyes 

Inviting me to wander the depths of you  

Keep wide the door to your heart 

I'll find your light, I'll carry the weight 

The war I must wane for your love 

In time I will make you mine

Even if it only exists in lines of paper,  

Folded into the confinement of leathered locks
