you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
Darling
Now you are broken, my darling
Now your heart is ripped
You are supposing, my darling
That this is how it will be
But never fear, darling dear
Hearts were made to heal
Dream Graffiti, Donie
I fell asleep pen in hand
and when I woke I was surprised…
in dreaming state I could not hide
the love for you I keep inside.
My bed was littered as were my walls,
nightstand, left arm
legs and torso too,
every space within my reach
all filled with scribbled thoughts of you
The moon sees everything with her ever roaming eye
Come with me into the dark, my darling
And let her watch over you and I.
I’ve lived to bury my desires
and see my dreams corrode with rust
now all that’s left are fruitless fires
that burn my empty heart to dust.
But at my back I always hear,
Time’s winged chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.
Thy beauty shall no more be found,
Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound
My echoing song; then worms shall try
That long preserved virginity,
And your quaint honor turn to dust,
And into ashes all my lust;
The graves a fine and private place,
But none, I think, do there embrace.
Until by Neva Flores
Even as you leave my presence, I must collect my heart
And softly weave my memories one by one
On the edges, they quietly sit apart
Until I say to myself
I am done
If the ocean could overhear, the memories I recall
I could throw a net reaching out for miles
Capture every bit of love as it falls
To join the lines of our hearts
In my smile
All along the blue skies, in the shadows of the sun
Inside of these memories, I could spend days
Traveling through my heart’s caverns
Inhaling a touch left trailing
Of the things you say
Even as you leave my presence, I must collect my heart
Draw back time enough to sweetly examine
The joy all these memories will impart
Until I say to myself
I am done
The stars are alight
I can breathe tonight
No running thoughts to chase
Only the glow of the stars on my face
The star enameled sky
breathes light down on me.
The blue glow ripples
Like the ever moving sea.
Ah, to be an orb
Dancing in the air,
Shining my light on earth
dazzling, bright and fair.
