Linger
He's gone without a trace, A trail of dusty memories, Are all that's left, Tell me, how do I start a new?
In my mind's eye, He's still there, An everpresent border, A wall that encloses over me.
How can I see behind it? How can I get my thoughts around it? For indeed I cannot grasp it, For it encompasses my whole being.
He's gone, But my love for him... Will forever remain in me, How can I chip it away?

SLEEP
Sleep descends silently
Whispering sweet comfort
Resting gentle hands across
My weary eyes
Surrounding me with songs
Of tranquil seas
And gentle breath of warmer climes
A quiet hum to ease the pain
Of conscious thought
Strong arms to rock my weary limbs
As life gives way
To light of dreams
To dream... to rest...
To sleep...
As witness to a miracle
That fills my every living fiber
Bloating muscles
With a blood so ethereal...
And all of life dissolves
Like sand before a wave
-Charles Elliot UNTAMED HEART What words should I use
To sent out what I am feeling inside?
I'm afraid that only silence would do.
But the fact remains
That I can't ignore you.
No matter what I do,
You constantly invade my thoughts.
You'll never know the pain I'm feeling inside.
When our eyes meet, how it melts my soul.
Your smiles truly brighten my day.
But I'm drowning in longingness
For I don't have the courage
To pour my heart's contents.
