The Shadow in the Dark

I dance the night away, and every song is you
I sleep endless nights, and every waking dream is you
I live every distraction, and every moment is youYou are the shadow that follows, even in the dark
You are the seconds of time, that run away
You are the clouds the cover the winter sky, dark, heavy and wetI smell the coffee every morning, but you are the summer Jasmine
I hear the bells of Sundays, but you are the morning lark
I see the reflection in the mirror but you are the picture hidden in the memory
 

You are the elusive near
You are the distant clear
You are the effervescent that disappears

No Return

The ink is dry, as are my tears.
I look within and all I see is an emptiness.
An emptiness that has returned. 

The ship has left the shore.
I don’t look back as it departs.
My eyes closed, I see what was. There is no return.
The currents don’t run that way anymore.
I long for clear skies and beautiful waters. For there is no return.  

I’ve Lost Something

I’ve lost something
I cant put my finger on it
Is it a friend?
Is it a confidant?
Is it the sun?
Is it the moon?
I feel I have lost something
I don’t know what it is
I closed chapters
I purged my closets
Everything that left was my decision
Yet
I have lost something
Is it a part of me, from me, within me?
I have lost something.
