WE OF WATER

When together,
We are a rushing river,
Flowing and frothing,
Splashing.
Vigorous,
Dangerous in our passions.
Apart,
We become
Two streams.
Slow,
Crawling,
Muddy and quiet.
Melancholy.
Sad.
And when we meet again,
The joy and torrent of us
Is rapid,
Quick,
Musical and loud.
An orchestra of
Energy and emotions.

My love for you flows.

Consequence and Fear

Hiding under the bed,
Ducking behind the seat.
Covering my head.
Afraid to see.

Wake me when it's over.
I don't feel okay.
This can't hurt more
Than it does today.

Pictures of yesterdays
Fall from the walls,
Shattering glass.
Memories lost.

Our world falls apart,
It's killing me too.
We've come so far,
I will always love you.

Handle with Care

My heart it hides,
Tucked away.
It beats in the dark,
No light of day.

Weak and worn,
It cowers in fear.
Lashing out, snarling
At those who come near.

Secure for awhile,
Till you came along,
Coaxing it forth,
Patient and strong.

Yearning to trust,
Full of fear,
It begs for your touch,
Wanting you near.

My heart sees you,
It knows Love.
Just be gentle,
Wear kid gloves.
