for tomorrow

Here I've spent hundreds of days
this place, a home for the time
holds memories for life and inspiration
always caught up in the current situation
I, this man I've become
still fearing failure
effort misplaced often
yet forward is my goal
I have dreams, like anyone else
my goals scream success
my actions just a little less
My hope here is something better
inspiration from myself
not someone else
yet their push is still a hope
will I hear your desire
and match my own
hope more for growth
in which I can become
this man
who I am
and yours
equal inspiration
the ultimate end

Simply Being, A Dragons Friend

No day but today
or rather tonight
and tomorrow
all I can do is look forward
yet still keep sure feet
staid I must remain
be here and there
one in body and mind
other with heart and soul
wont be long until we become whole
it seems too natural almost
it always has
not an easy feeling to let go
it would seem a decade has proven
it's not so complicated
loving you
I will find truth in you
hard it may seem
and so it may be
I have few fears
none strong enough to shake my path
and I will cast my light in front of each step
lit aglow to ease the trials
and over the walls I will scale
to reach the highest tower
where my princess stays
and together we befriend a misunderstood dragon
keep with the persistence
and when the dust clears
from crumbling walls in the dusty halls
you will see us, and we will dance.
Simply be mine.

ellipses

missing too much or just enough
these times alone are far to rough
I've lived well and laughed hard
to help me through this time apart
I need inspiration in times down low
still 50 days until I can go
...
a brief pause
with no loss
smiles on screens
are sweet and serene
with digital kisses and winks
not enough, but will suffice
for now
it is into a further future I must gaze
this life just got twist turned upside down
all for better days
ones with more grins and less frowns
...
repetitive, repeating, redundant
over and over the same thoughts flow
which doesn't offer much space for this feeling to grow
found a place of comfort for now which will do
until I am home, a place which has you
rhyming or not, no stanza stays true
one time or two, four times or more
I hold no sequence, just frequent mistakes
in typing are few, but prose offers many
...
let the good times roll

Your Name Goes Here

And dreamers we shall be,
for that is what dreamers do,
they dream up a new reality,
bring into existence,
what was not there before.
I have dreamt of you,
and you of me,
now is our chance,
to bring this into to the world,
for all to see,
to bear witness,
a great love.
Place whatever you wish in our way,
we will prevail;
in my dreams we triumph,
no wall to stop us,
no peen to break us.
We were made to be,
and now for all to see,
we will be,
and we will succeed.

The path left behind

What to write

I desire more words

so I begin in traditional fashion

no destination

but a road to walk down

this road has overgrown

hasn't been walked down in ages

grass has overtaken the footpath

once trod down to bare earth

I knew this land well

It was my home

parts of me built this

some were left here

relics of a younger time

revisiting the path

a thought occurred

this trail has its home

a place long foregone

left to become rich with growth

untouched by feet

So I began my journey treading light

until it came clear

I needed to leave this place

A home it is, to memories of old

I cherish this place, have kept it whole

hidden away in a box under beds

This path I have found

now walking with you

is fresh, untouched, a breath anew

new places to be found

this land

our adventure

pleasure seeking an endless season

of love

So together we will sow

the trees and plants, with hopes for more

fruits that bear nectar, and food for the soul

this new path is ours, yet mirrors one before

but only in the shadows from times ago

I look with your hand in mine

to the light of this land

and smile

Letting you in

When you came around,
Oh so many years ago.
I was knocked to the ground
Quickly brought back to my feet
By your love
It is like no other
More wonderful than the sunrise
It helps me wake up every morning with a smile
Even four thousand kilometres can't stop my grin
I promise that I will let you in to my mind
I will be open for you and only you
My only true love
I can never let you go
Never stop asking for your kisses
Forever hold you in my arms
...
"I never thought that you would be the one to hold my heart"
though I found out you never let go of it
I swam with joy when you decided to let me back inside
That you wanted me strongly enough to wait for me
Half way across a country wasn't far enough
Even though it is way too fucking far
At this distance it would be easy to let go
but that is without imagining life without you
I've had enough of that to last me a lifetime
I've never truly loved still you
I never truly loved since you
I will tear down my walls for you

Time After Time

This time it's for real
False statement, it was always so
How to proceed?
Slowly? Let's take it easy?
Look back at that moment
You are a package deal
This day will live on
I need to think, be rational
These are not the matters which require much thought
The heart has led me astray, I will trust
Let's move slowly.
Okay.
But you're mine right? And I am yours.
Okay.
What do we call this.
The same thing as last time.
I am yours and you are mine
More lyrics make appropriate relations
This situation is not so unique
It would seem
From an outside point of view
And after the fact, what has been said and done
I said go slow, then asked for your hand
You said okay, both times.
I think only of you
This song plays over and over
Time after time
I will catch you, I'll be waiting, so trust in me
Your partner is what I am
Here for you in everything
As a voice and an ear
A lover and a friend
Until the very end.

In Class?

Sitting in class with you in my mind

your leg is wet, that makes me sad

I should concentrate on this discussion

but it's not really intriguing

I miss your touch and our close feeling

I need to contribute, so this is cut short

I missed on yesterday. so I will write more later

Choose me a song and I will share my thoughts.

Better Than I've Ever Been

Every day begins now
A song for inspiration will be the length prescribed
Better than I've ever been
no doubt in my mind
when I think of you
I think of time
a man made unit to measure distance
in space there is no clock
no end, no beginning
it just is
we just are
Not oft will I speak of these things
calling us meant to be
you have made me believe
in magic, in forever
I removed the phrase from my life
I will love you forever
after the first forever ended too soon
it turns out no lies were spoken
just an eight year breath to be had
so from now until death
I know we will not part
paraphrase a sacred tome
my heart will ne'er be alone
we will dance a lovers dance
call daily from across a country
give hope a new meaning
These words are placed without pen
in hope that you will read them
I have no premonitions, no expectations
just a desire to record what moves through my brain
not poetry, hardly
just a free flow of so called verses to remind me of your beauty
your hand in mind forever more
till tomorrow, and beyond

The truth. My truest.

It is in you that I have trust, In us that I have dreams, In me that I have hope
My dear Brigitte, how much can I miss thee.
The days I have with you, times to live in memory
Never forlorn, just insanely missed
My dearest lady, how often can I think of you.
I've never loved one like you, to quote, "I am home"
Wherever I am with you, wisdom I know is true
My truest love, no words or time will ever be enough.
In dreams I have your hand, when I awake I steal your voice
Songs sung for true love are my bedtime story and my waking glory.
I dream of home with you

More Heart

The day I will remember forever
you showed up in my town
across a country on wings
with little expected
life changing it became
you became mine, and I yours
dreams of holding close
these became my reality
inspired I now write
of a struggle to ensue
the longest distance from your touch
a life to build
unreal it seems
to think this way
though
now common in my brain
not just tomorrow
nevermore
a place to call home
for more than a heart
I love you
forever and more

10 years in the making

moving away from these places
deep seeded and dark
now missing for the moment
a hope for greater times
a path laid with clay
forever able to change
no stone paths
unmoving in their placement
a road destined for new direction
under my skin
I see this
in me, and in you
holding moments
placed in boxes forever
so it seems that was no lie
ever waiting for an encounter
has happened
to wait no longer
continue to sit at the wheel
drive the change
shape the future
in you I can see this now
like never before
in her I have hope
I find strength
to be better
to live with endless laughter
more than a lover
no silence feels strange
more than a friend
all thoughts are allowed
to live without you
simply would not do
I will bring you to the mountain tops
sing by your side
and say it aloud
for all to hear
all to see
I love thee truer than any
proven by a decade
dedicated to another
be mine and I am yours
no poetry, just honesty
till the end of days
