Not ready

When the world is dark, and the stars are out 

My mind comes alive. 

I drown alone in my thoughts with a smile on my face, 

And let myself get lost, 

Because I know I’ll be found. 

I don’t yet know when, or how, or by whom, 

But someday these thoughts will be put into words and understood. 

When I am understood, I will know, and my soul will be set free 

But till then I will wait, for the day my future comes 

The universe will know I’m ready.

    what do you do when you cross the sea without me? 

    on this warm night, I stand outside in the blue dark. 

    I wear a bathrobe over my pajamas 

    and old crocs that are faded purple 

  • pearls

    it's almost night on the Tyrrhenian Sea 

    homes glow like stars on the cliffside 

    and waves of green lap against the side of the boat 

     

    there is a storm approaching, 

  • eyes of a stranger

    there is something about those eyes that kept me chained to this love

    for they seemed to be the first that I couldn't see right through

    as if rather than a window to your soul

    they were a wall.
