Longest Ache

The longest ache.

Tears form in the corner of my eyes when

I remember the magic i felt,

The beauty I witnessed.

And I remember wiping

The red dust from my cheeks

So long ago.

The joy and the wonder a new sight can

bring,

The souls one meets that love a song.

To think

Once

I did not believe.

It was another life now

And then another

And here I am still in wonder.

The longest ache sears through my veins.

The yearning remains.

The ancient beats within my heart reverberate

Through time unseen in synchronization with those who came before

And those yet to come.

Atoms and Cells

There is this burning in my belly,

This aching in my breast.

I struggle to keep my heart contained

Within my chest.

It is just the thought of you,

For you are not even near.

It’s just my atoms

And cells

Retain

The body of you.

Come home.

My heart will not stay still much longer

For

It is not where it belongs.

It’s just

What I must endure

While I am

Imagining

You here.

I am

Aching and breathing.

I am

Aching and dreaming.

Tempo

And you move

So

Naturally

To the tempo of my heart,

When all this time

I believed it

Could not be heard.

You sway so easy.

You sense.

Into one another we see,

Falling so sweetly as we

Immerse ourselves in the rhythm

Of love.

Vibrantly unified,

A light so bright no one can see us.

Barely

She is fine

Until she falls

And then

She crawls.

But no one sees you when

You are beneath

Their feet,

It does not occur to them at all,

Unless they too have

Been

Below

For they know without a doubt,

Recognizing the sound

Of a barely beating heart.

Stories

I have such a story to share,

So many stories within

The story.

Where do I start?

Her heart softly replied,

“Just like you breathe one breath at a time,

As you step one foot in front of the other.

In every moment you pause.

One memory,

One word;

One word at a time.”

You Decide

A red cardinal over there,

A mesquite tree over here.

Mother Nature shows me many creations.

The smell of wet saltgrass and dirt

Fill my senses.

This oak tree I am under,

Her leaves shine as if coated in silver

As raindrops sparkle setting delight afire

Within my heart.

Nature presents herself

As is,

The individual decides whether she is beautiful or not.

Definitions

Love,

Breathe

And be.

Open your heart.

Open your mind.

Open your eyes.

Drop the definitions.

Knock down the fences.

Obliterate the walls.

You are in your own way.

You have constrained your mind,

Your heart.

And wrapped yourself

So tight in definitions,

You cannot breathe.

This barricade you have built

Has left you with nowhere to go and

Nothing new to see.

Now,

You have limited your own vision.
