I am the dark moon
Full of sorrow and dispair
You are the bright sun
Giving me light and power
You are the bright light
That all of me depends on
Please do not leave me
Give me more of your everlasting light
Take me away from here
Take me to a place that I hold dear
Take me to a place that I do not fear
Please, take me away from here
Don't tell me where we're going
Don't tell me when we'll stop
Don't tell me why we're leaving
And don't tell me what you've got
I want to be surprised
I want to be in shock
I want to be right next to you
When you reveal whatever it is you've got
And wherever it is we're going
And whenever we finally stop
I just know that I'll be with you
And that's all I care that I've got
I lie in a restless haze
As I think of your exceptional gaze
And those eyes of the purest blue glass
From a perfectionist's mold you were cast
My mind spins circles thinking of you
And wondering what I must do
To ask, to know to get you to tell
How can I ever know you as well
As well as I wish
As well as I can
As well as if we were one and the same
When I imagine your laugh
Or your beautiful smile
I feel like not breathing
So I just smile awhile
The best part of smiles
And the best part of laughs
Is that they're unique as a snowflake
Yet as common as glass
Each one is different
Including your own
But I can't stand to imagine
That we're each alone
Unique we may be
And you're unique-er than some
But to me you'll always be
The girl that I loved
Without hearing every word you speak
And every single thought you think
And watching every time you blink
And your beautiful lips upon your drink
Will I ever feel whole
Without another soul
Without another person
To be so intertwined
That I barely can tell
Their soul from mine?
You probably have flaws.
I guess everyone does.
But when I see you,
Or hear you,
They're not there at all.
And those flaws that you do have?
I'm sure they're the best.
The best, and most perfect,
And unique flaws of them all.
As I get to know you better
I get to know your flaws
Your beautiful mistakes
And those moments when you pause
I wait and listen patiently
I hang on every word
I want to hear your problems
She is like the morning air,
the light that cracks through
my window shades
Softly saying hello.
As i open my window
the birds chirping
and a smile grows.
Gracefully.
She stands like a daisy
gorgeous to look at
But careful
She is fragile.
Gently digging around her stem..
Picking her up by her roots
Placing her inside.
Angelic.
Wherever I go, I see you
Whatever I do, I meet you
I can't breathe for us two
I do not want to
But what can I do?
Whenever I'm home, I find you.
I might be crazy,
I shall get lazy,
I must be happy,
I can get pretty
If you look at me
I'll set you free.
I am dangerous,
Dangerously close,
Closing doors,
Doors and distance,
My love for you continues to this day.
With our photographs and history I stay.
Writing stories of our life together
keeps me brave: Alive, and feeling better.
Diction, sound, and words compose my way.
Without, the house would be in disarray.
Today I moved your journals to the hall,
Last night I collaged our bedroom wall.
Abe, remember our gazebo in the yard?
I painted it with pictures of the bard.
Come to me, listen, Sweet, to the bird’s song.
Just a minute, sit with me, not for long.
We’ll read Shalom Aleichem in the shade,
snuggle like we used to. Then go, my Abe.
and maybe the reason
I like being alone
is because
I don't want people to see my
smile
while texting you.
the reason I haven't forgot
about all the sweet things you've said
and done,
is because you have.
you won't come back for me
and I still love you.
you said forever
and that is hope that fuels me
while I wait for it to come true.
