Another unfinished life

Oh ideas
How you love
Hiding from me

I call on you
Come back
And let me
Breath into
You

Drifting off
Before life
Fully comes into
You

Come near me
And let me
Fix you up

With no reason
Or rhyme
Wandering away
Before you are ready
For the cruel world

Come to me
Let me grow
You properly
See where you
End up

Through a peep hole

A chosen door
Led me to you
Even though I had
Two

Don't fret
Don't fear
It was nothing

Time ticks by
And we stand
Side by side
Weathering storms
And many sunny skies

Hold me
Kiss me
For I love you

Time still passes
And we stayed strong
But now distance is coming
And we must see
Where this road goes

Love me more
Hold my hand
We will be alright

Doors begin to unlock
Where have they come
And what did I say
I never asked or rang
On any door

Please believe
That as long as
We are in love
Your door
Is the only one
I will knock on

The High Road

So you hear the voice
But let the sounds linger
High in the air
'Cause heat rises
And you know better
Than to answer
When you aren't even
Listening

So you see those tears
But let the moisture stain
Those rosy cheeks
'Cause if you just ignore it
And let them seep
Deep into that skin
Then all that crying
Was just another storm
Blown

So you want to paint
New pictures
New scenes
And go over the old ones

So you want to taste
Foreign flavors
Foreign spices
And get rid of the old ones

So you take it
And take it
'Till there is no more
To take
I give it all to you
I want nothing left over
So I can move
On

To be continued...

Ideas swarm like
Bees to a hive
And I want to make
My inner queen pleased
And turn this pollen
Into sweet honey

But the winter is still
Frozen to my wings
And the sun won't melt
Them fast enough

Words come like
Moths to a flame
And I want to zap each one
On the pages that lay infront
Make a sizzle of all this talent
Wasting away

But the fire burns too hot
Leaving smoke in my lungs
And gets me running away
Before anything is done

Poems bubble over like
The water you watch to boil
And I want to start cooking
Make delicious dishes
Only to savor the work
I once use to enjoy

But I can't stop staring
Knowing the more I stare
The longer it takes
Time moving slowly
