Love without perfection

Sweet soft reminders of before, 
then comes more...
A rush of emotions blind unseen,
moments surely in-between.
Hearts could beat as one, 
righting every wrong. 
More than then, more than now, 
more than weary question how. 
But can old turn to new, 
and slowly pull them through?

Beyond the weight of six lost years, 
shattered in the wake of fears.
Tears that added two, 
nothing left to do.
What foolish words made bitter still, 
found life by way of heart and will. 
No reason to refrain, 
two hearts in love remain.

Dishonest in their hopeful ache, 
childlike in each found mistake.
More than that and this, 
two hearts, one bucket list.
She is milk and he is wine, 
they are surely by design. 
A perfectly imperfect pair,  
where will they go from here?

Sweet soft reminders of before, 
beyond the threshold of that door.
A broken typewriter key, 
the symbol of what could be.
Awake in stride of eight long years,
as truth of love with voice appears.
This day that woke two hearts, 
no longer worlds apart.
Here, is where they start...
one masterful work of art.

If - just a thought

 If is such a precarious word, it can drag you into the darkness or usher you into the light.

Trust?

Trust is the sweetest pill to swallow, 
lead and I'll follow, 
A whisper in the still of morrow.

Sweat upon the brow, and how!
a silent vow,
facing the winds of now.

Shaped by ripples and storms, 
true to form, 
cool, intentional and warm.

The amalgamation of souls, 
young or old,
brazenly arrogant and bold.

Steadfast in steps till it breaks, 
reality wakes, 
a silhouette of mistakes.

Trust, is a bitter pill to swallow, 
a futility of tomorrow,
twisted in the wreckage of sorrow.

Ember

Did you hear the door slam?
every bit of who I am. 
Hopelessly exposed, through and through,
fragile these pieces, old and new. 

Let it be the winds cold cry, 
for the truth we can't deny. 
I see you in the light just as you are, 
so close, undoubtedly so far. 

Brick by brick a wall that stands, 
shaped by words and built by hands. 
Still, in the chime of every clock, 
futility is found inside the knock.

Seeking shelter from the chill,
for where hope is weak there's will.
A desire to endure beyond it all, 
step into the stumble, break the fall. 

Can you hear the door slam? 
every bit of who I am.
Never more awake in my surrender, 
buried in this heart so I'll remember,
this flame that dwindled, to an ember.
