It Amazes Me

it amazes me how we live
you and i
our moments now so infrequent
like stars shooting across the sky

it amazes me that so little is gained
fractured moments and broken memories
so little care
as if by will we try not to let it show

it amazes me that we hide from ourselves
those little truths we both know
as if speaking them
will shatter the walls we have built up

it amazes me how the passion we felt
have now turned to indifference
so kiss me gently
and we shall never speak again.

Ashes

scatter my ashes on the sea
and as i float upon the waves
weep no tears for me
i do not want to be underground
no earthy mound for me
i do not want a cold stone tomb
where nobody will grieve
its where the winds blow fresh and free
that i will be at peace
i will travel to far off oceans
and finally be free.

Winter

i do not long for the heat of summer
winter suits me best
its icy winds heal me
for they numb the pain

icy sinews form on my windows
creeping along the glass
their long fingers reaching
towards me like a long lost lover

what need do i have of the
false beauty of love
when i have the beauty
of nature to surround me.

Images

a million images form dancing behind closed lids
frost covered meadows crisp underfoot
beautiful sunsets watching lovers kiss
dark peaceful places dreaming of light

in the darkness they are a sanctuary
a haven of tranquility, safe and comforting
i close my eyes and i feel the warmth
of a million images dancing behind closed lids
