The Poets Korner: For You...

...For You...

Tell me love

The stars above
Do they shine, the same for you?

Are the lights just as bright?

Past oceans blue and wide…

Does the sun, heat your face,

In the same time and place?

As it does mine

And do the hours pass the same

Like visions of you held in vain.

Maybe once near and far

We’ll meet close in a bar

Breathe each other in and out

Make a map of my heart.

And in your arms I will stay

Until the dream fades away

And I wake.

Blinking slow

You and I are a

No

Never was, never will

But this dream felt so real

So I’ll wait every day

Talk to you in this artificial way

Pretend our love will go someplace

And hold you in my heart

So tell me love, does the pain

Feel intense and the same

Oceans far away

As it does

For

Me

The Poets Korner: Untitled

Like sheep

We seek 
our shepherds 
to usher us into correctitude 
And guide us throughout life 
And deliver us from spite 
To pull us toward our problems and lead us from that dark knight 

Our shepherd is our father

 Our watcher

 And our friend 

To leave his watchful gaze to graze along the banks of forgetfulness

 is to sign away our right to find the treasure the shepherd keeps behind his gracious heart and watchful eye

And we are but lost Sheep

 On the horizon of sleep

On the edge of defeat

Without him or her

 Whichever you prefer

Whoever you may follow as a part Of the herd

 As a part of the world

 You need a shepherd to lead you home.

Not to say that we are but drones

Cursed to do as others have shown

 But one in a company of many

 All different all exceptional all in need of a shepherds lead

 And bound by that we are sheep searching for
The end
