The Ending is Near...

You saw the ending, through foggy and gray,
but just knew that love would push the fog away.
And suddenly, you would see the sun that was temporarily hidden,
by the pieces of the puzzle that just weren’t fitting.
But as time went by and the end became near,
the storm, the clouds never did clear.
And the fear you thought would just disappear
has been realized, and is finally here. 
Hauntingly, the lightning smiles at you through a thundering jeer,
and the clouds remain a foreboding smear.

Return of the Straight Line...

We walked a thin straight line although the future was wide
Multiplication made sense, but we were taught to divide
Stay on the boat the waves weren’t to ride
Forbidden thoughts were better to hide

But soon we swayed off the narrow path and the line grew wider
What was once in darkness soon became lighter
The passenger now the driver
More than apple in the cider

The path soon began to sway
Twists and turns to our dismay
The sun had more than one ray
The moon our favorite time to play
Different faces as we lay
So much more within a day
That our straight line could merely decay

But thoughts of our straight line would stay in our mine
Our time of bliss, love was sublime
Life had rhythm and life had rhyme
It was built on the divine

It was the chaos that opened our eyes
The truth smothered in the lies
The laughter muffled by the cries
Hope outweighed by the sighs
And so the watched became the spies

And we were strict, and we were stern
And we would teach so we could earn
Our once lost straight line to return
To save the others from the burn
We tied our line around our urn
As our mark for lessons learned
And for those to seek as they took their turn.

Don't Die...

Cecilia don’t die in vain
There is sun that stops the rain
You are worth more than this pain
It is you who must unlink the chain
That bounds you down, makes you refrain
You can take the winners lane
Open your eyes see your mane
It’s your blood that is in your vein
Your beauty has led to new terrain
Don’t die just yet, it’s your time to reign

Domination...

When I think of you my heart jumps in anticipation, elation, and fear of deprivation

When I see you I feel stimulation, fear desperation that your splendor will unmask depravation

Your silence lends me exasperation, abrupt words infiltration, a new direction…your decoration

Your eyes on me create isolation, its depth a new aspiration to uncover our destination

A failed mission, annihilation, your power my damnation, you’ve surpassed domination

I Miss You So...

I miss you so, how much I think you know
but it is not your choice to let me hear your voice
and not your path to even write a draft

I would seek the twin but a fish would rather swim
than search for a mate who succinctly dissipates
clearly what I thought we had were the  wishes of the mad

I know you are happy to be free, travel your world as a sailor travels the sea
but I thought I had a place, then you leave without a trace as if to say rewind erase
if that message is true than I’m right not to pursue you

So though you may not want to lose me you are sure to set me free
because what will make me stay is a promise that would not stray
however you have failed to deliver and my lips began to quiver

Now I’m weaker than I can stand and for that I must plan
an escape route that simply concludes your words not to be true  
and allows me to bow out and bid adieu
