Now and then a whisper
from that quiet voice
an inventory of my soul
analyzing every choice
friends that I keep close to me
enemies kept closer still
my heart in constant battle
between destiny and will
desire will challege decency
integrity wars with truth
every breath confirms it
for I am living proof

Poetry in motion
flowing from my pen
completely lost in thought
my muse controlling me again
sipping on hot chocolate
a man's eyes upon my notes
there he sits staring at me
yet he doesn't even know
perhaps he's unaware
of how he's fixed his gaze
making up in his mind
some romantic maze
I have not yet looked up
I refuse to meet his stare
I would rather sit here knowing
leaving him still unaware
Let him gaze upon me
let him wonder and contemplate
yet never drop a word to me
as if silenced by some fate
what if he interrupts me
just to say hello
a simple easy greeting
what stops him I do not know
in his mind we've already met
he believes he knows me well
he convinces himself of my history
and makes up memories to tell
all the while his companion
is chatting seamlessly
wondering what it is
that makes him glance at me
but my muse is so resolved
I keep wrting, uninvolved
ignoring his ambitions
if only for a time
he may never know me
be that cruel or kind
the only things he knows for sure
are those he's made up in his mind
yet if I just look up
one meeting of our eyes
might make him see me differently
or lend him a surprise
that in these eyes
he should see
indifference
not poetry

I drempt of you last night
this time it felt so real
you asked to see me privately
so we could talk and still
still your eyes
with mine did spark
still holding your hand
I felt safe in the dark
into your arms I did crumble with fear
of waking and once again leaving you here
here in our dreams
where nothing is real
where I wake up more empty
then I thought I could feel
I felt I was holding you
but it was the pillow instead
wet with my tears
from the passing of years
my heart is so broken
my soul is so sad
that I wasted that precious
one chance I had
you said you were mine
if it were my desire
an offer forever
setting my soul on fire
I denied my heart
my soul completely betrayed
now I whisper I love you
until the dream fades
