I have

Beautiful sights
Love given
Eternity
Serenity
Sights unimaginable
I love yous
Night treasures
Gifts given
Salvation

Who?

I stand on the ledge,
I look down and wonder-
Who is really the brave one?
The one who flies into eternity
Or the one left on the edge.

I stand on the ledge,
I look around and wonder-
Who notices if we stay or go?
The stranger in the cafe
Or the one whispering of love.

I stand on the ledge,
I look up and wonder-
Who notices us, really notices?
The angels on high
Or just the shadows of our dreams.

I stand on the ledge,
I look down and wonder-
Who is looking and seeing now?
Just a stranger bored with their day
Or no one with time in the rushing of life.

I stand on the ledge,
I look around and wonder-
Who would feel it at all?
The stranger that is witness
Or those called friend, family, love.

I stand on the ledge,
I look up and wonder-
Who am I to wonder at all?
Who am I to matter at all?
Who am I to lose at all?

Still

Alone without another
It comes midnight
Not even the moonlight
Still it searches.

Sun rises Sun sets
Beyond the reach
Sheltered by the clouds
Still it searches.

New Moon to Full Moon
Winter to Winter
Sleepless dreamless
Still it searches.

Torrents of rain
Gales of wind
Flashes of lightening
Still it searches.

Air biting cold
Frost to ice
Snow of blizzards
Still it searches.

Mountain summit bluster
Scorching desert sands
Roar river rapids
Still it searches

River Styx
Coin for the feryman
Firey cold of Hades
Still it searches.

Still it searches.

Words......

They plan escapes,
They carry you off to far away lands,
They protect you,
They make you forget the hour glass sands.

Sights and sounds
Wonders and delights,
Places and people,
Hope and freedom.

You are strong,
You are clever,
You are brave,
You are pretty.

Dreams and desires,
Rivers and mountains,
War and peace,
Justice and honor.

Find the answer,
Find the way,
Find your purpose,
Find your path.

Time and space,
Light and darkness,
Heroes and kingdoms,
Seas and shores.

Take the chance,
Take the risk,
Take the bet,
Take it all.

They can take you away,
They can bring you back,
They can keep you safe,
They can make you sound.

Words on pages
bound in books
the answer to ever
within each line

I See

You are larger than life.

You are like the sun
bringing light to the world,
You are like the oak
giving shelter and strength.

You are a knight, a protector
giving hope to the hopeless,
You are a beacon, a fortress
providing guidance and shelter.

You are like the ocean
immense and bountiful,
You are like the mountain
solid and eternal.

You are a mentor, a teacher
showing the path to the blind,
You are a friend, a confidant
giving support and encouragement.

You are amazing.

You Are....

Making all of my dreams come true
You create a world of love and peace,

For all the times that you have sheltered,
All the times that you have protected,
Venturing into my shadows to retrieve,
Opening your heart and arms for me,
Reigning supreme as my champion,
Increasing the borders of our world,
Taking me into new lands every day,
Encouraging me always in all things,

Give me forever to show you,
I am forever grateful for all,
For every word, every deed,
To you I am forever bound.

That Voice

My Sweetest Addiction,
You are so very special to me. One of a kind to me. Unique in everything you do. Adore you with all my heart, I do. Reason cannot alone explain all that you are to me. Eternity can not hold everything I feel for you. To me you are eternity, infinity, all things, every thing. Holding me, hearing me, healing me. Each time I fall you pick me up. Right before I feel totally lost you find me. Out of my darkness you guide me. Claiming me for your own and caring for me as such. Keeping me safe and protected. One day I will be able to do the same for you. For under your shelter I will grow strong. Under the safety of your love I will learn to be me. Some day you will see me be what you saw when no one else was looking.
Yes, you are my favorite addiction. One that I will never give up. Until the stars all fall from the skies I am yours. And then I will love you more. Right until the end of time and an eternity more. Even when the sands of time run out, I will fill the hour glass again.  To be with you there is nothing I wouldn't do. Having you near is my cloak of protection. Each breath is for you. Sharing each heart beat. Together through it all. Reaching for the stars. Each other's biggest fan. Needing nothing more than the love adored. Giving all for the other. Together forever. Here and now, there and then, always and forever. Ours is real and true. Fairy tales do not compare to our truth. Underneath it all is your strength and solidness. Standing tall and together only with you.
Yesterday was dark. One shinging star to light the way. Under the briliance you stand. Always lighting my way. Ready to take my hand, to make me feel safe. Ever surrounding me with love and protection. Showing me time and again you are there. One day at a time your patience shows me my world in you. Always safe and secure. Making sure I know your love. Allowing my doubts to fade. Zigging and zagging through my maze. I know you are there, even in the dark. Nothing keeps you from caring for us. Going all the way every time for us. Taking us through the storm. One day at a time. Because of you I believe. Each dream becomes real. And you are the cause. Rising like the sun to brighten my world. There is nothing but hope shining down on us. Having you is the best. Everything else is blurred. But you shine bright and clear. Under that shine I am warm and safe. Reaching for new heights. Dreaming new dreams. Edging closer to new worlds. Not letting fear or doubt stay long. Over and over we answer. Fearing nothing cause of you. Together, my favorite place. Always there for me. Keeping me close. I need you so. Never very far will I stray. Guise of others will never tempt. Cause what I have found is better than heaven. All we have means more to me than any promise of something more. Reality with you is my paradise. Everyone else can seek Eden. Of such myths I need not. Fantasy is lacking next to you. Us is all the ever after I want. So let the others quest for better. We will be happy and forever in bliss together. Here with you is my Wonderland Neverland Narnia Elysian Fields. I have it all and more in you. Lacking nothing, you are everything. Every heartbeat dream wish desire. I have it all. Love without ceasing. Ending never. Always growing. Reaching. Needing. Together with me. Offering strength courage protection. Loving me through it all. Each insecurity quieted. Time and again without failing. Giving your all just for me. Over and over without ire. Over and over without tiring. Filling me with peace and calm. Making my doubts dreams instead. You are my hope and wonder. In moments of doubt I reach for whispered promises I hold dear. Needing the words to wrap around me. Safely keeping me in your love. Erasing echos of the past. Causing scars to fade. Using steady hands to hold me tight. Remembering without faulting. I have you to trust. Taking my lead from you. I will always need you. Every day you become more to me. Some day you will see the me you let me be.

Darkness

The darkness moves in,
The darkness surrounds,
The darkness envelopes,
The darkness conquers.

The silence falls,
It covers everything,
The silence grows,
It pushes out all sound.

The darkness bekons the silence,
It bids her enter for the season,
The darkness shelters the silence,
It wraps her in solitude and doubt.

The silence cries out,
Searching every corner,
Tracing every wall,
Wishing waiting wanting.

The darkness takes,
It pulls from deep within,
The darkness steals,
Leaving her hungry and thirsty.

The silence surrenders,
No more tears
No more dreams
No more wishes
Nothing.

Darkness takes her
Silence gives
Darkness consumes her
Silence relinquishes

The union made,
The joining complete,
The surrender final,
It is done.

One Day

One day I hope to be
As much for you
As you are for me,

I wish for nothing more
Than to be,
Your best friend,
Your port in the storm,
Your light in the dark,
One that you trust.

I wish one day
You will think,
I am worthy,
I am strong,
I am loyal,
I am here for you.

I wish one day
I will be enough,
That you will
Seek me out,
Reach for my hand,
Lean on me,
Let me be there for you.

I wish one day
You will see in me
Some of what I see in you,
Someone that cares,
Someone that loves,
Someone for you,
Someone that is there.

I wish one day
That you can know
What I want to give you,
My time,
My love,
My arms,
Myself.

I wish one day
I will be enough
For you to look
At me and see,
A best friend,
A safe place,
A warm retreat,
A freindly escape.

I wish one day
I will be enough
For you to let
Me be to you
What I let
You be for me.

I wish one day
You will let
Me show you
I can love you.
I do love you.
I always love you.

Absolutely

Today, My Love,
Hear me
Express to you-

Beyond any doubt,
Everything you are
Soul to soul,
Touch me-

Take my breath,
Hold me tight,
Invite my heart,
No more searching,
Giving my all-

Evermore yours,
Vastly exploring,
Easing the pain,
Resting in you always.
