Rainmaker


Oscillate with me
Tell me you love me and in the same breath let me go
In silver smiles the stillness sends us floating 
We could evaporate my love, we could be swallowed by the depths of the sea 
Glitter pours onto you
Onto me
And the happiness we always knew we had 
Again sends us floating
I watched you on the boat and I waved
Like the sweet song we used to know
The one I played for you up the mountain
When our mornings were fresh  
You are my rainmaker
You are the enticing flavor on my lips 
You are the piano below my fingertips 
But for another existence this now is our truth 
And I was born with the wind
To ignite your fire
Still there is a shimmer
An honest attempt at hanging another picture
Of love
I gave you my dreamcatcher and you tossed it
Into the sparkling grey ocean and it disappeared like the sunset
That one sunset
Remember it always when you return to that picture
When you look at my face
Remember
That you once told me
You never wanted to kiss
Anyone else
But me

Who are you really?



A lightness beckons you from afar
you reach for it, but the transparency blinds you and you give up
you are defeated as your prophecy inside wells up against these four walls
you confuse selfishness with independence
you agree with struggle
there is a lightness around you
but you ignore it
you stifle it with liquids that seep through your pours 
until it saturates onto me
not that you meant it to
not that your intentions were falling out of the window again
yet through it all you keep your hand on my heart
so I'm aware of your physicality 
the spirit I know lives inside of you
but it went for a walk in the woods
I run in the rain to try to save you
I devour your senses until they become my own
I bury them inside me until the sadness breaks any idea of ecstasy 
let go of the warrior you think you're supposed to be 
to embrace the hero you really are
you turn into the cold 
and I can't look back now
there is a lightness inside of you
it is there as I watch you leave 
I know a wind will carry us back to each other
someday we will follow the sun 
you and I

Whatever Happened...

Chimera



there's a place inside my mind
that no one can ever seem to find
a cyclical pattern, a simple slide
reality will find a space to hide
enclosed here is wonder, enclosed is a reel
a movie you watch to make you feel
a book you read that becomes your best friend
with a character you love, even if it is only pretend
there's a whole world out there, of adventures and romance
a person to fall in love with at just the first glance
a memory so sweet, so soft and so kind
this is the place
I have in my mind
