to stand with your shadow. the empty hollow cry. i loved you for no reason. other than the kindness in your eye.

where dreams fell behind us. i danced to the ides of march. your ancient wisdom scares me as much as the youngness of your heart.

for people who would rather, find a safe place to reside. i choose to walk beside you. with my hands left untied.

take my open palm. and place your autumn smile inside. ill hold it with me through the winter, and place it under the starts when the spring wind arrives.

but promise me one thing. you'll never try to look behind my eyes. for there hidden in the depth you'll find the  broken remains, and my long lost tulip harp. 

strangers together

i met him, and together we walked along the wayside. hands untied.
                       together we breathed in the moonlight. exhaling suicide.
                       together we sat beside a sunrise. and raised our glass' to the tide.
                    

"in time we have forgotten, the safe place where we hide our pride. we left it beside the truth in our race to beat mankind. we have become so consumed with meeting our future, that we forgot to ask our past, how to direct our present so we don't miss all the moments that will pass.  Some night my child, you will lie awake and find and star to the left side of your heart. in the morning when you wake up you will find the way out of the dark ."

and then i left him, the stranger i sat beside.

another moment passed.

another memory made.

another moment saved.
