lover cover me during tough and rough times better days await I’m sure lovers in their summer dresses wind pressed fabric caressing the curves sunlit backdrops to, images of flesh through silk and lace some girl to thrill me again, and again and yes, drive me crazy with who knows what when I look in your eyes I’ll be dreaming with eyes wide open as the sun goes down

a weary traveller, searching along the unfurling winding road for the next place of refuge the cold, worn, faded sheets reflecting stages of life heart and mind on the move carrying minimal baggage unpacking as we move along no hat, no house the empty spaces I've roamed searching for a home a stone with no moss only seeking …… shelter from a storm

keep moving every minute of every day pushing onward refrain from looking back evading that twisted claw of grief as it tries to shred the memories of yesterday

opening the door stepping over the threshold asking not much neither a kiss or an embrace just to lie down for awhile not to be alone just to be at home

that oft travelled path hard to traverse and understand healing scar tissue keeps tripping one up on those ever-larger keloids memories of the past calm, heal, infuriate foot sore, weary, burnt and blistered searching for recovery, healing crossing over to the other side searching for another I see peace in my eyes or another’s

night runs to day light chases the dark is the pain receding what approaches over the horizon? the time of evening starlight fades the lamps grow dim in the approaching new dawn show me where it hurts? turning westward facing my fading shadow as a new dawn rips it from me splitting me in two what is lost might not be found I feel the void upon my thoughts I contemplate the other side as I wait for .... paradise?

I long for the sound of your voice caressing my cheek your lilting laugh your upturned smile to hear your laughter to laugh with you for you to laugh at me ….. I long for you …….

not knowing dying a slow death emotions bleeding out lying in an ever widening pool at my feet the stains of my life fade into nothingness

roll up, roll up shouts life as you excitedly queue to enter the tunnel of love what beckons what awaits so much excitement the yawning future sucks you in darkness beckons, engulfs holding on tight to each other and our dreams forevermore distant lights approach eager anticipation unfolds what awaits love, eternal happiness for evermore …… pain, longing, separation forevermore ….. patiently, silently we await the darkness slowly lifts
