Travel on open sea,
waves crash into desires
you dream higher
with every chance
a turquoise glitter beckons
into what can become your life,
your heart,
if only seagulls take your love
to sunbeams and the night
unfolding in this sunshine.
***
A journey started long ago,
when you stepped inside mirror,
you saw your life
as it was,
dreamed of more,
fate set you on this voyage.
***
You took the wind
for friend,
twilight companion,
you added heart to whispers,
and the song
that keeps you on an island
away from home,
apart
from other people's wishes.
***
You help, you smile,
you strive
to be the one leaves want,
a spell descends in veins,
every breath comes alive
butterflies surround soul,
they step, dance
in sunlight.
***
How can it be so dark
when afternoon winks in a haze
have you drunk spell of wonder,
did you lose sight
of underworld
tentacles
that reach, choke
life out of sunny dreams,
turning love into anguish,
joy into hunger
for an end
to happiness.
***
Can you long for the pain,
an ordinary life,
no promise of a magic carpet
to take you far
above the crowd
are you happy on summer stream,
will you kiss forgiveness
in light,
abide under caressing promise
home is at peace
in soul
torment lies in a grave
of undead fall,
winter in sight.
***
Seasons of wishes come to play,
which will you choose,
which will you follow
in daylight?
Once darkness falls
love has no whispers,
left under starlight
you look back
was voyage worth half-life,
half-love,
is this end part of who
you are?
