Our own


Boundless
There stands 
TALL
as an invisible wall
the word
COURAGE

tarnished
how does 
one break
over kindness
so small
dictated by truth
so insignificant
as to utter
a word
the thought
comes back to me
now
how powerful
these seldom felt
promises make us
feel the deepening cold
all the more

Childhood
we run
through blades of grass
like pirates
at sea
never fearful 
of the imposing 
storm

Password
The calm comfort
of home
wanders reluctantly 
in the door
pittering against
the small bridges
where we stand
holding hands

tan
did they solve
the brilliant creature?
suffering needlessly
over pale pink moons
no more the graceful pearl
wise beyond their years
I shrink back
and stillness beats

Rolling
value one
up by seen
press fingers
to glass 
and kiss

stay
how we break
the hearts 
of those we love
more than life itself
over and over
forgetting how precious
they are
those seldom move
or stray
from our side
but sit
quiet and steady
listening to our life
untold
the gradual 
the quick
the haunted frames
coming to paddle
the boat
without any cars
in the bliss filled 
night
