As We Bend, We Sway

In his ever-blue eyes
I cry for Mercy 
Into his everlasting arms
I am so tenderly Found
His effortless smile 
Turns me Away
From hells of lives
Leads me astray 


And in the utmost truth- 
  We bend
In the eternal proof- 
  We sway
In our embrace- the truth
Together, we bend  (As one)
In our hearts- the proof
Together, we sway  (As one)


And he sparkles like the light
Filtered and frayed through the Glass 
Like the stars of the night 
Eternal, unwavering like the Past
My soul unwraps his, ever so Bright
Forever unchanging in the changing light


And in the utmost truth-
  We bend
In the eternal proof-
  We sway
In our embrace- the truth
Together we bend  (As one)
In our hearts- the proof
Together we sway  (As one)

And into his chest
I've followed,
 braced into his heart
My lips so firmly pressed 
Against his,
 unable to pull apart
Only next to him can I rest
As our bodies, 
 stop only to start
We fold along 
Into each others 
  like truer works of art

And in the utmost truth-
  We bend
In the eternal proof-
  We sway
In our embrace- the truth
Together we bend   (As one)
In our hearts- the proof
Together we sway   (As one)

In the recesses 
   of my mind
Seeing wings shooting out 
   from his spine 
Like an angel 
   of some kind
Translucent feathers spiral 
   around this love of mine

Unravelment Undulates Us,Fully Forging Foundation, Out of Obeisance

Undone by a forgotten dream
 Fell into your eyes and began divulging things
  Out from between my lips, my thoughts streamed
Underneath my memories of you entangling me
 Fragmented scenes of dreams found an opening
  Overwhelming intuitions of who you used to be
Unglued by the truths that I could not know
 Frightened that your secrets are now set aglow 
  Overcome with the shame of of being stripped and shown
Undertow drags us somewhere distilled and clear
 Forming a net and pulling you near
  Open and truly tender, our fragile hearts advocate here
Unfolding before me, you so purely unconcealed 
 Fluid vulnerabilities tear my heart open for you to feel
  Only you, in my eyes, my paramour revealed

Beauty of Fragility

A blossom's petal, rusted and metal
Unfolds unto me, I see what you see
Echoes ignoring, whispers still snoring
Hold tight to me now, breathe life in somehow
Beauty so fragile, gives love so agile 
Gave life to suffice, honest sacrifice

Our Fated Drive

Just the night and I 
Just your fated drive
See them passing by
Feeling so alive

This desire, I cannot control. 
It's a night like many nights. 
I want to darken both these holes. 
My urge is to dim the lights. 

I look upon them as they pass. 
The caring observer I find. 
I individualize the speeding mass. 
The one whose brights light, not to blind. 

Just the night and I 
Just your fated drive
See them passing by
Feeling so alive

This fate, this one does not deserve. 
Longing just to help, for my lights have failed. 
Yet, without hesitance, I quickly swerve.  
Come up behind; I prey onto their tail. 

My crimson truck beats savagely into your fender.
Fear and confusion, I recall how you must feel.
Off the overpass, so powerless, I've rendered. 
This cruel horror must truly seem surreal. 

Just the night and I 
Just your fated drive
See them passing by
Feeling so alive

Entranced, I almost fell off the highway, too. 
I accelerate at unknown speeds to flee. 
In the distance, I hear sirens, screams for you. 
I'll park, walk back. My creation, I must see. 

So many tears of strangers you never knew. 
The paramedics attempt to pull you from the car. 
All say the same, "This tragedy- who could do?
The evil perpetrator couldn't have gotten far."

Just the night and I 
Just your fated drive
See them passing by
Feeling so alive

Scenes of Love

We fell like hips, into the sea
 Rustle forth, and come to me
 You are land. I'm coming dry
 You caught my lips. You catch my eyes. 

Words into fire
 Throw forth the light
 Embers sparkle 
 Up to the sky

A few lines cross over
 Dripping into the flames
 Melt into images
 Each delicately untamed 

Said it's a burden
 Fear love so true
 Whispers can harden
 From the ways they're used

My answers are questions
 My questions are pure 
 Your mind does not notice
 Your heart is the cure 

Images can continue
 Scenes can unfold
 Hours into "evers"
 If we can keep hold
