Battle Poem
To Battle to arms to my arms
In my arms I hold this
Feeling so here and so yet I am here
Wish upon a star wonder where you are
Oh to catch a transport to your galaxy
Shift that this hearts orbit anew
Traverse this transverse plain to where you are
With this that come wash over me as a flood
Bring me down to the river, hold my hand as the waters rise
Continuum of this virtual amazement I know
Know that I would be amazed
Yet this titanic sunken ships souls so drawn to the depths...
Can it rise to find her? fight this fight beside her?
From this blackness inside, reaching out to the light
So much is left of me yet at times I feel so small
Bone wrenched body’s heart still beats
I hear her say “Come now again my sweet”
I hear her voice and am content to be this
Head heart heavy down in this spiral
I hear her call me to battle! To arms! To these arms!
Escher’s case of staring falls down into her eyes
I wish to be forever found within
A wonder of you, a whispered word or two
She looks at me with a smile I feel but it is so?
Does she love me truly?
So much that I feel compressed expressions lacking frame of mind
Yet my mind I would have you know! and not only a part of this puzzle!
Truly how can this be? Yet here we are!
I feel it in this blackness inside that moment before the day’s last ending breath
I feel her love upon my heart in this I am left
With all that is left of me I would run
How to cross this precipice of time and space?
How can I help you fully understand?
I think yet my mind moves to thoughts
Falling into this I have been made again
I find that before I was truly alone yet never by oneself
Doubts overshadowed by sense of truth and love
Stars look down one each from above
The brightest star only seen between her eyes
Eyes look through me deeply to see that as if mirrored one’s own Insecurities’ shown
Shown and discarded taken back as the tide washed away with the brush
Hearts beating ever increasing
So much I would tell you
I would bare my whole soul laid out
To start anew each moment I look at you
Bleeding heart dangles
Hanging for the world to see
Held in suspended time
I walk along this fragile coil of a thread
Amazed how with a small wind
So large a fire changes its course
Smiles ever wander in directions of past
Sails press onward
Starboard hard into the open sea
Does she think of me?
Mists of this mortal mind
Clouded drink this judgment
Souls red wine
Intoxicated by the thought of this
Emotion imagine what bliss
Still within her eyes I would drown
Forever immersed within her gaze
Yet she looks at me no more
Spoken words minds plight
Amid tears of loves last kiss
Moments hang in balance
Breath between whispered lips
Dreamy Smile
Off to space in wonder I wander through my mind
I think about the may have, might have, not of mine
Is this turmoil inside the result of such perfections?
Or so many found at once?
For such it seems that it should ever be so
That I am doomed to be and to never be true
To find a one for whom hearts electricity jumps
To find such a spark
Can it be so that she exists?
Is this dream the dream of a man gone mad?
For to dream is to live and to live is to dream
I dream of her and smile
For whom does the soul find its match?
Is such an ephemeral thing to be evermore gone from me?
Are my words lost upon her? Amid her flood of attendance am I felt?
I feel that she feels as I, yet we are at odds with similarities
A pace apart does she look my way?
I may never know, but I shall look at her and smile
Sweet beauty’s gift to man that she has graced me so
Perfections imperfect bliss would that she knew
Would that I could say
Heart a flight on dreams
I dream of her and smile.
