Word Worlds

Word WorldsTumbleweed words . . .
  skip across sandy tongues
  roll under blazing scrutiny
  settle in the cool of a mirage.

Waterlily words . . .
  bloom above refreshing caresses
  choke on frothy bubbles
  rest beneath the lull of a soft rain.

Nightcrawler words . . .
  wiggle into lost generations
  tunnel through soggy dust
  unwind to the songs of the crickets.

Now I’m With You

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

In my past, I could not just be
Instead, I would pursue and perform
But now I’m with you
And being is all I need.

My life revolved around endurance
The silent survival of each second
But now I’m with you
And living is all I need.

My days melted together
An indistinguishable mass of memories
But now I’m with you
And experiencing is all I need.

My head, my heart, my soul
Formed a callous, tactical trio
But now I’m with you
And feeling is all I need.

My desires retreated to safety
terrified to entice, excite, energize
But now I’m with you
And loving is all I need.
