Blink

I spoke of marriage
she of being controlled
I mentioned love
She said "NO"
to being told what to do

I spoke of failures and friendship
She of freedom…with a glint in
her eye
Tall and beautiful…it was easy to
picture a heart being stolen by her

Someday she may blink
in that millisecond
between closed and open
she will fall in love
In her eyes I saw perhaps
In her heart…possibility

When not looking it quite often
happens
Being complete does not make it
needed
Two people in love rarely
become friends.
But friends can fall in love.

                Like Dust

A breath…like winters chill, scatters
the warmth of my dreams of you.
Arms that once held me tightly are
now relaxed.
Their comfort leached into once upon
a time.

Hollow words you spoke echo in my
mind.
Words without meaning, of
             dreams
              love ever more
              my heart is yours
              I cannot live without you
Spoken so easily by a false heart.

Unheard…they reach into my mind
late at night, interrupting the peace
of my late night dreams.
Whispering through time…arriving
distorted like an image seen through a
gauze like veil.

They invade my senses, speaking of us
and times now gone.
But they fool me not, time may heal,
but it fails to turn memories to dust.
