Sanctuary

On the highest of floors

 in the tallest of towers,

He hunkered down

safe for the night.

And as he curled up,

he listened to them;

all the old stories

snoring out loud.

And as they were snoring,

he found himself drifting

asleep to the

sound of the rain.

A rain that was steadily

washing away

all of his doubt

and his fear

and his pain.

The library, you see,

is a magical place,

where stories and dreams

come alive.

Or that’s what his mum

had always told him,

which is why he was

hiding there now.

Something had  happened,

something not good,

something too

awful for words.

So he ran away

to the safest of places,

to get lost in the

depths of a dream.

For this was his home,

these were his books;

these were his

stories and friends.

And it mattered not

what the morrow might bring

for now he was

safe and sound.


When Will I Find You?

I long to be wrapped

in the warmth of your arms,

to feel your touch

against mine.

I long for our hearts

to flutter as one,

for our souls to be

e’er intertwined.

 

I long for your presense

to be next to me,

to hear you breathe

as you dream.

I long to see you

smile and sigh.

I long for my mind

to be free.

 

I long for your heart

for your mind, for your soul.

I long, my Love, for you.

When will I find you,

when will you come?

I long to say,

“I love you.”

 

When will I find you,

Love?

 

 

 


Serenity

Have I ever told you about my dream?

It starts how dreams always start, or at least how mine always do (I’m not sure about yours), but it starts with me standing alone in a park. You may find such a start to a dream strange (in truth, most of my dreams are strange), but I’m not standing long. Before I know it, I’m walking along a cobblestone path while spinning a crooked old cane.

You see, I’m searching for something… no, I’m searching for someone – it always alternates between the two, you know, and I can never quite place it! But I’m walking along the winding old path, tapping my crooked old cane on the ground, searching for signs of the mysterious being. And as I am searching, I can’t help but admire the beautiful park. Pausing a moment, I take a deep breath of the cool evening air as the sound of the gentle breeze tickles my ears, and then I find myself staring up at the stars peeking bashfully through the treetops.

It really was quite serene…

Suddenly it catches my eye!

Dear, Love…

Dear whoever you may be,

I am waiting here,

for you to come and hold my heart

and banish all my fear.

 

I’ve been waiting every day

for you, my only one,

but with each day my heart grows faint -

my Love, when will you come?

 

If only you could know how much

my heart does yearn for you.

To look into your eyes, your soul,

and know, my Love, just you.

 

Dear whoever you may be,

I’m still waiting here.

But please don’t keep me waiting long -

my Love, I need you here.


Lost in a Mem’ry

Her eyelids grow heavy

as she fights off the sleep

that is weighing her down,

compelled by the need

to stay there,

awake,

within the realm of

reality,

sanity,

truth – the dream,

it whispers deception,

sweet lies in her ear,

pulling her further

into the dark,

asleep.

 

Awake.

 

Reliving a mem’ry

that isn’t quite hers,

stumbling through hist’ry

that’s halfway obscured

by the frost of the night -

it fogs up her sight -

her heart is so

cold and

alone.

 

Trapped.

 

Locked in a time

neither here nor there,

the darkness,

it follows her steps,

a waltz -

one-two-three

one-two-three

one-two-three

 

Stop.

 

The echo of music

pervades the vast halls,

a chorus of sorrow;

she cries out in pain.

She needs to wake up,

she needs to wake up,

the dream isn’t real,

she needs to wake up.

But up isn’t up

and down’s turned around.

Tears splash in drops,

she needs to be found.

 

She’s lost in a mem’ry

that isn’t quite hers,

until she falls

softly

awake.


What if I Told You?

What if I told you

that your dimpled smile

is the prettiest that

I’ve ever seen?

That it glows like the sun,

a brilliant grin,

and melts my buttery heart?

Awake Pilot Review

It isn’t often that a new television show comes along and completely takes you by surprise, and it is even rarer for that surprise to be good.

NBC’s Awake is one of those surprises, and it is deliciously good.

What is real?

The Day

Oh, how I long for the

day when at last

our eyes will

finally

meet.

I long to be lost

in the depths of your

soul;

to be trapped in the snare

of your heart-piercing stare –

I long for our

eyes to

meet.

Stars

I felt the stars beneath my feet

as I ran, alone, through the night;

heart pounding, lungs heaving,

not thinking, just leaving.

With all of my might,

I ran through the night –

the stars, they carried my feet.

Dreaming

Do you know I

dream of you?

Do you feel my

presence there -

in your dreams,

as you sleep –

do you feel me

there? (more…)


The Rain

I envy the rain,

how it falls from the sky,

mindlessly dropping,

so free from restraint.

Still

Staring at the ceiling

Heart racing in my chest

Do you know

I’m thinking about

You?

 

Eyes refuse to

Sleep

Mind the same to

Stop

Racing at the

Thought

Of You

 

You
