"Time Begins"

Bathed in the memories

With the recent past barely in full sight of my rear view mirror

I move on...

At first it was merely the seconds ticking by

Then the moments

Now, days pass by with better ease

My mind is not so easily distracted now by the partial remains left behind

With such a clean break...

A much as heartbreak and being abandon allow...

There is unfortunately not much to gather up

Words cease

Feelings slow

Emotions stop growing

Time begins to do what it always seems to do

Gently erases the strength and power it has over me

And helps ease the passing

It files all former love and passion away

Placed neatly in a box of things that use-to-be

Rested upon a shelf

In some long lost distant corridor of the mind.

"Shadows..."

Today I have begun to see shadows where ever I go

Its everything that is you lingering around

Playing tricks with my senses

Multiple tender moments have yet to fade

My heart has only just begun to beat the same again

There are days that I catch myself falling back through memories

My voice is tempted to call out to you

But deep down I know

I will never breath your love again

Saddled with this new truth

Its a hard realization to bare

I cry silently through the passing

So where does time go between hello and goodbye?

What is the next step beyond moving on?

Because right now in this very moment

One day at a time seems like a very big step

When you are starting from a new beginning.

"Suddenly Broken"

How quickly does happiness turn?

Moments like this fade along with smiles...

Tears stand on guard

Ready at any second to march down my face

Memories fail...

Its so easy to recall the recent past

Everything twists together now

Binding my heart

Labored breath holds me

I wish to scream aloud

But I hold in my broken voice

Like all things before me

I let the feelings slide away from me

As I begin the difficult task of pushing forward

Because like many things in life...

This... Your choice to break me....

Has happened all of a sudden...

"Frozen Footsteps"

Waiting upon the edge

Here in a moment frozen

Holding still

Where time stops

Silence screams

Seconds tick by slowly, almost in reverse

Eternity comes and goes

Tears are afraid to fall

But linger none the less

Hiding close by

Just in case they are needed

Nerves fray

Every heartbeat is intimately known

Because every feeling, emotion, and movement here after is raw

Cut deep to the core

Changing everything that now lies before every footstep forward.

"In Love"

Tenderly sweet and smooth

And nothing between us but our skin

Moments link to memories

My heartbeat matches yours

Fingertips leave fingerprints in soft places touched

The smell of warmth melts me smooth

And the taste of your kiss lingers upon my lips

Time slows and speeds by all in the same second

Hours unfold

Weaving a tapestry of a new history made

Word for word

Line by line

And page after page

Anchored by a fond growing connection

I finally allow myself to slip completely

And whole heartedly...

In love with you.

"Here Beside Me"

Intense warmth radiates from your tender skin

As my fingertips glide across your bare chest

Fingers entwine...

Arms link and embrace

The sound of your beating heart soothes me

You snuggle your chin deep at the base of my neck

Intense shivers excite every nerve upon my spin

I smile bright...

My breath matches yours

In this position I am safe

Its a place that I have longed to be for most of my life

All because I have you

Here beside me.

"Every Part Unique"

No

I will not be sorry for this day

Nor will I be sorry for any day before or after this moment

I do not regret the choices that I have made for me

I am simply trying my best to live my life

My actions are my own

I owe no debt

So please, stop trying to create one for me

Time can be the best illusion

One blink and it all can be gone

If you forever hold out

Then a lifetime will be spent waiting

I bear my own making

My faults and mistakes are my imperfections

Which I own

Making me every part unique.
