The Footprints On Your Heart

When life seems a haze,
And someone reaches out to you,
When nothing goes your way,
And someone's mere presence opens avenues, anew...
When gloom and despair beset you,
And a hint of smile from someone wipes away those blues!
When you are left alone, frightened,
And someone calms those fears with words just few...
When life takes a turn for the good,
And you realise someone has made it so...
When tears are forgotten,
And someone's made you glow...
When your eyes close,
And memories of time spent with someone spring to mind...
When you hear a tune that haunts you,
And sense a message that someone left behind...
When you let the raindrops on yourself...
And feel someone embrace you...
When longingly you look at the moonlit sky,
And know someone's missing you, too!
When you know distance separates,
And someone gets closer by the day...
When much time has elapsed,
And yet someone means a lot, anyway!
When you think of your inhibitions,
And have seen someone make it a thing of the past...
When you look at your relationship,
And it is going to last...
Sentiments like these are rarely found,
These are the very strings that have you bound,
And when you know someone who’ll never depart,
You'll feel - The footprints on your Heart!

Rediscovering Me

A beautiful day upon us... 
I stand beside Her, our fingers linked ... tight
It is time, I tell Her
She smiles... tentatively
How does one do it, She asks...
Let go... Disengage?...
Do I dare, I wonder...
Lurking in Her shadows is ... Safe
And, I can bask in the quiet
But... now, I do not want to 
I want to be... just Me
Bare... Raw.
I want to be free...
Break those shackles She has imposed
And, let loose... My tethered spirit

I want to be... just Me
Ignore the noise outside
and, dance to the beats within
It is time... to come out of Her shadows
And let My skin feel the warmth
Listen to it breathe
Have the wind move through My loose tangled curls
Like fingers of a lover
Caressing... soothing
Allow My thoughts to wander
And run wild... unchecked, uncensored
Assign words to those thoughts
Unapologetic... Unashamedly
Paint a picture...
That depicts both calm and chaos
Knowing there are different colours... shades galore
Not black... or just white

Yes it is time, I tell Her again
For You, to let go of Me...
And for Me, to disengage

For whom, She asks
For Myself, Me... and I 
To allow love, to find Me
and for Myself, to reach love

She is bemused... skeptical
Is She allowed?
No, I tell Her... looking straight ahead
You are but, a poor version of Me... Myself and I

She slips away into the shadows
And Love beckons Me...

Longing

It’s late at night...
And I lie on my bed, the moonlight streaming in bright...
Sleep evades my eyes and I wonder...
Is he going through the same yonder...?
The conflict rises and I cannot fathom why
I wait, in hope that he will reach out to calm troubled feathers o’mine...
Matters of the heart never seemed so profound...
For me it has turned my world around,
And yet when I question myself...
If I’d rather leave these emotions on a forgotten shelf...
So they gather dust, and I regain my sanity...
A laughter echoes that tells me I would be wallowing in pity...
Strange emotions beset me now...
And I feel a presence almost tangible somehow...
Elation and fear both take hold of me....
And what the future holds, I wish I could foresee....
Thoughts clutter my mind and question me...
Does he think of me too?
He sounds far away and I wish I could know...
What is it that I got to follow...?
To have him as mine, to keep forever...
So I have to yearn for him, never!

Desire

Climbing into bed lying between my sheets
Languorous i stretch and sigh as i think of you
Feeling the warmth rise in my cheeks I pull up my feet
Curling up I close my eyes tight hoping to get rid of the vision that is you
A smile creases my face as my mind wanders...
Thoughts of you lying naked, breathing, asleep... 
Raising myself up on my arms I look at the moonlit sky, the stars...
My hand slides up my body, my fingers of their will into my hair slip
I let them loose watching them onto my shoulders, fall...
My eyes on the silhouette on the wall across 
A hand in my curls, out of my sheets I crawl...
Hand slides down my neck, I pause...
I look around for some sound i hear
Biting my lip peering into dark i hold my breath
Be still heart... for he is not here
Laughing softly I fall back onto my bed
Relishing the thought of your eyes on me
Slipping under my sheets I recall the words you said...
And as i close my eyes, I wonder what you feel when you think of me...

Old Love

You are miles from me as I write this...
And, it is difficult to say how much you are missed...
I sense a presence beside me all day long
Whispering comforts when everything seems wrong...
Looking up at the stars, moonlit sky gets me wishing you were here... 
All I ask, my love, of you...
Is to remain to our love, true....
