Between Us

Between Us..

Between us is a scar
Emboldened, grave
Cutting deep into flesh
Between us is a space
Empty, with walls
That echo each time I scream
Your name

Between us is time
Too long, yet not enough
Cause a million visions of you
Keeps me awake
Between us is pain, 
Joy and laughter
All in a world we wanted to make

Between us is a voice
Still and loud
To remind me of you
Between us is a song
The words often 
Sung in silence!
With melodies for the soul

Between us is memory
As beautiful and as painful
As history itself.

At 10' Clock

At 10 o' clock

 

At 10 o' clock

We look at the moon

At the same time

We're not saying 

What we're feeling

Until we laugh again.

 

Each passing second,

The silence 

Meaning much more

Than spoken words

And that smile

Reassuring "I love you".

 

Traveling through time,

Racing against the wind

Together,

We fought

Till our hearts

Content.

 

Tears mixed with kisses

As I say,

Goodbye

Leaping through

Those memories

I'm glad I met you.

 

I hope

When I'm standing

The storm

With my own sail

It only blows me

Closer to you.

What If

'What If'

 

I'm afraid whether to insert myself

Into the timeline of eventuality

I'm afraid I'll never be able to, 

Take choices of what ifs and maybe

 

Life strikes us with decisions

Leaving us without the benefit of a doubt

Neither letting us know the outcomes

But reveling in the what ifs

 

"Keep trying", they say

Good will come your way

But who knows when?

What if it never comes?

 

What if the lights aren't green?

What if the sun doesn't come?

What if I can't walk that path?

What if I'm just living in my own dreams

 

This suppositional question,

We will see again and again

But one thing remains

Hope always keeps us at bay
