Some Enchanted Night

Some enchanted night

The sea will whisper truths

The stars will wink wisdom
The sky will breathe me in

The moon will hold me tight

Some enchanted night.

The music will play

The grass will keep wet

I’ll drink up God

Life will seem right

Some enchanted night.

Thoughts.

I remember when lost in someone else's beauty I felt good
About myself
When I was just me 
And there was nothing wrong with it
When you were there
When you were a part of it.

I remember a time when it felt so right
Just walking down the streets
Streets so hated now and ever since 
Not because of then
Because after then they became strange and evil 
In their emptiness.

I remember when I didn't have to try
To be the best that I could
Because I already was.
When I was loving your teeth 
And you called me your rose
As we walked in the cold.

I remember feeling my soul next to your shoulder
Unstained in its joy of life 
Candid like the purest love 
I felt for you
So innocent in its wilderness
So close to the precipice. 

I remember a time when seeing through you
Was so natural and easy 
When you radiated towards me
And there was no way for me to escape
A time when unawareness 
Was making its way to ruin the remains of my childhood. 

About her.

Her eyes like pink flowers in bloom
Her smile like that of a happiest child
Her skin as gentle as innocence
Her hug softer than puppies

She will make you wish you never cursed the world
She will make you realize that it's God you're breathing through
She will bleed your own blood
She will cry your pain

And when you think you no longer wish to be here
She will bring you back to yourself
And when you think she has given her all
She will give more.

When in days you see no solace
Her voice will find to comfort you in the night
Her soul like daylight shining through melodies
Her strength like storm coming at your chest. 

Her beauty without dimension or form
Is the truest of truths
As pure as divine love, 
It is life itself. 

The Place

When the breeze quits brushing my face, and the salt fades from sea air, when stillness whispers to move and spirit asks to feel... is when I stop and sense your lips, disengaged from the life I'm trying to love. Wiping the moments, stretching the years. Memories of life never lived overcome me, envelop my days like mice caught in traps. Hazy depths of blue and gray, your eyes gently sighing to me, shining and smiling to me. While outside runs the breeze again, and the air scents of sea again. But I can't feel them again. There I go again, tasting your essence. Drinking your voice. Being where I never was. While your smile talks to me, while it calls on me, prays with me, makes love to me. In a place no man can reach, no woman can scorn and where no child is torn. A safe place, sacred only to me. Adored and detested only by me. Existing only for me.
