The Passing Winds of Time

As the winds of time slowly pass us by

As they wash the footsteps we left behind

As they slowly erase the youth from our face

We cry...

As the winds continue to blow through time

Slowly hypnotizing

Erasing memories we lived upon

Carrying the dreams we could not live out

Bringing a nightmare of futures alone

Creating the hurricanes which shatter our paths

We cry...

As these winds increase with fierce force uncontrolled

Moving with it the hands of a clock

We realize slowly time does not stop

We cannot recapture the things left behind

A precious love lost, a youth not lived out

We cry...

As the winds of time lightly burn our skin

We sit and cry for all the tomorrows we looked forward to

For putting today to a future faraway

All those unspoken words, stories never told

Acts not committed, broken promises

We cry out these feelings to the wind,

Little whispers for others to hear,

“Don’t get caught by the winds as they pass, erasing tomorrows you counted upon, taking away what you thought could have been”

For you walked other paths being lead astray, forgetting that time flies, not giving a damn

For those who tomorrow will say who was she or what did he do

Were they famous, or perhaps did they run in our group

We cry...

Feel

Can you as I touch your skin,

Feel...

A tingle from within

The jump starting of your heart

An uneasy control as you get lost

Your bodies response without permission

Giving into a reaction of lust turning into a frightening passion

Do you catch your breath...

Finding yourself gasping for air

Does your mind lose thought as you reach out fast

Wishing it was a dream, fearing the recurrence of disaster past

Turning away, wanting to run

Entering this sweet danger zone, there’s no turning back

A deep heavy sigh of bewilderment

Heated embraces you can’t erase

A hearts desire you feel in those hands

Can you as I run these fingers on your skin,

Not feel...

That tingle from within

A burning fire, a sweet desire

Promises of all that I have to give

A treasure so sweet, an ecstasy of life

A mixture of tears as it turns into love

Are you scared as your body slowly gives in

To the hypnotizing moans as it reaches your heart

That sweet demanding tingle, the slow pleasurable breakdown within

Love

I trusted my heart to this four letter word

Promising with it a mystical hold, never ending days of enchantment

thunder filled nights of never ending passions delight

Moonlit strolls-you by my side

sunrise mornings-making love and sweet talks

[L- for the labyrinth of magical mazes]

[O- for the promise of how it would never be over]

[V- for the vow of eternal love]

[E- for the sheer ecstasy, a fantasy of delights]

Afternoon walks through a nearby park

stopping under the shade of a shadowed tree

with a passionate kiss promising its call from you to only me

This four letter word soon let me down

making a fool out of me like a clown

Breaking my heart, it was doomed from the start

Now; Now I trust no one

Especially this neighbor I carry around called my heart

and this thing called love who wants to be its best friend

First Day of School

There is a daunting quiet in my house

the sound of nothing which has never been heard

I look for sounds from their bedrooms

I hear silence

it is absurd

could they be hiding

where did they go

so unsure

I pace the floor

as I pick up toys from here and there

no little kids come running to claim their share

a little nervous

a little sad

my heart is heavy

I understand

they are off at school

but it can’t be true

my heart is broken for I miss them so....
