Strength

You are my source of strength,

in the face of the worst things 

in the world...I hold on, now 

it's your turn so, 

when you find yourself

under the dungeons' torturer

today, find peace in my light

shining because of you,

I found my way back and now,

I'll keep shining for you...

shining because of you...

catch my rays of strength 

beaming at you, let them take you

beyond the pain, beyond the terrors...

higher and beyond the terrestrial

into the cosmos, beyond the universe

riding the strength we feed on

from each other...

let me hold you now in my embrace,

you are my roots into this place,

I am the canopy above you giving light

diffused with shade, rays beaming through

giving love to you, 

the way you gave life to me...

Awake This Morning

Awake this morning 

And know that I love you.

Even from far away 

I am near to you in my heart.

May your coffee be magical 

Today. 

As you wipe the sand out

Of your eyes, and slowly 

Awake this morning,

Know that I love you.

 

The Returned

An adventure not chosen by me,

a detour until I could be with you,

a temporary separation...

I was the ghostly memory of

a terrible thing past;

memory no longer,

I fought to be with you,

myself and others:

the church which would 

have kept us apart

as part of business as usual.

But as they say, to Hell with the Devil,

I slayed the dragons and 

chased away the demons...

I followed the paths of my life

to you and our destiny, 

which was to be together,

and I came back to you

the returned.

Under the Milky Way Tonight

Something will be different today,

something will change forever this evening;

I will have come home to you finally,

found you after all this time.

And in the still night air 

we will stand looking at the moon, 

for the first time together,

hand in hand, smiling

under the milky way tonight.

They will celebrate with us 

in the asteroid belt and upon the comet,

the music of the spheres 

a joyous noise tonight...

Journey's End

The long and winding road

went on and ever on,

fraught with dangers and dead ends,

highwaymen on every side,

snake oil salesmen on every TV...

Everyone had an answer 

that cost time, or treasure, or both

and those answers were wrong;

empty promises of fulfillment 

and fake love, not to satisfy the soul,

but empty the wallet...

a famine of emotions followed.

I kept walking, trudging at times,

hoping one day to find you...believing anyway,

time traveling by the ocean 

to pick up shark's teeth and think about you

in the crashing of the waves.

The road going on, and on, and on,

and now soon, I'm climbing aboard a plane,

for the first time alone,

to come out the other side

to you, at my journey's end.

My love having guided me to you,

your love just as surely beckoning me,

guiding me home.

 

Surrounded

I am protected, surrounded by

your love for me...it, has carried me

through the darkest of nights

when there seemed to be no stars,

the bubble of your love, a shield

from the slings and arrows

of outrageous fortune.

I am untouched. 

And in two days, I will be surrounded

again. Our love for each other

overflowing. Your love for me

manifested in my life again.

 

Walk Together

I was wandering, drifting aimlessly,

listing to the side...

I was lost in a world 

that had stolen you from me.

I was lacking in motivation,

but I pressed on, despite

feeling empty... I was alone

in this place, an alien marooned.

Left with only the dreams and echoes

of deja vu, a homesickness

I could not explain.

And then one day, all the efforts

brought you into focus like a photograph,

and I was no longer alone.

I was once again one...

Would you hear me, would you

feel me, could you understand?

And you did.

And joy swelled up in me,

for in my most wildest dream 

I dreamt of you, and now,

since I have found you,

It’s going to be okay...

you are reality; and we'll walk together 

now for the rest of our days and beyond

hand in hand.

It’s going to be okay...
