Building Certainty

I know the future is a scary place
With dark, shadowy plains
And damp, foggy marshland,
Where the weary traveler fears to tread,
For who knows what lies below...

I know this world is a scary place,
Full of lost and forlorn dreams,
That is never what you'd wish it was,
So you don't dare to live
For who knows what would happen if you did...

But we do...
We know
The future, the world
Is a wondrous place,
Where we've built so much
Between the walls of our hearts -
A home within us
Built of love for one another,
A place full of peace that we've invoked,
And beauty that we've put together
Stone by stone
And brick by brick.

I know we have
What it takes
To traverse this uncertain world,
Because I know,
When it comes to it,
I have you
And you have me.
Always.

Reach

I wish that I could reach
Into that heart of yours
And hold your soul
Unto my own
To keep it warm
And loved
In loving palms.
That I could hold you close
And tight awhile
Or brush your hair
And kiss your cheek...
Anything to make you smile

Encrypted

In an oneiric mist,
Where a pretty pixie and I walk
Over lines in the sand,
We flow together
So that one's place
Is as much the other's
Where no secrets exist
Or gaps either
Between one and one
And itself.
So we sit and watch
Love tiptoe in
And yawn aloud
At sanity
And the wild wide world
And precocity
So a hitchhiker
Will roll in his grave
As our souls fly off
In just the way
A brick would not.
