Stardust Drawn

Lost, we walk, stardust drawn
under the Midnight moon
It's light reminds me that the sun 
will rise soon.
Wandering under the Oceans of Stars
hand in hand never thought we'd
make it this far.
We are together in the vastness of space
Alpha & Omega
Adam & Eve
Representatives of Belief & Fact
we are, in fact
the human race.

We don't talk anymore

We don't talk anymore

time unravels

I find myself asking myself

what was the whole idea

of getting married for?

We don't argue without fear

you leave your food untouched

get up and slam the door shut

I sit there wondering if it

was just what I had said

and Am I back on the couch

instead of in our bed?

We don't lie to anyone else

days into nights

we aren't like those other couples

who make love and fight

this was what I bargained for

this isn't what I asked for

Am I even right

to expect forgiveness as

you walk away, out of sight.

We don't talk anymore

I cry at the foot of your front door

only to hear your sobs

on the other side

breaking my heart to the core.

A Song for the Mermaiden

for those with e-readers.

Oceans deep
whale calls weep
hear the waves
rip tide drifting
songs lifting
dreams sifting
sandy brine, maidens
silver scales entwine
this is the sea
this is the secret
part of me
this is the sea
I am more than
you want to see
swimming sleek
words echo
whispered truths
no need to speak
eternal youth
ageless life
the gifts of
my mermaid wife.
