Crystal Skies

 

I never want to

hide anymore,

disguising my truth

in a fictional world,

behind a locked door.

I want to shout it out

for all to hear,

I will speak of love,

I'll let it whisper

on the breeze,

I'll set it free,

so it can always circle me.

 

And I'll share who I am.

All of me. So that

together we can

create a world

where the seas

season our forevers.

 

And when it rains, we will dance

naked and free, I will wave away

eyes that see. For the glow inside

could outshine

the sun, and together

we can glide the crystal skies,

and that is the only sight

this world need see tonight.

 

I'll place your name

in the highest reaches,

I'll be the support act,

never the headline feature,

For I want the earth

to hear you teach her

to grow

with a sense of wonder.

As we wander in the

forests that we form

from storied seeds and rains of hope

released by clouds of devotion.

And if we can,

then together

we can fix the world,

a day at a time,

whilst love makes waves

over the resolute oceans.

Release

 

Decay stifles creativity

as I walk these litter-strewn

alleyways, through the smoky haze

of pollution-stained skies.

These dirty streets warp around me.

I want to feel green beneath my feet,

or the seas rolling over toes,

I want to be

anywhere where beauty grows free.

 

Could we turn off the factories please?

 

I need some release from the grime and grease,

The sounds that disturb the peace,

I need to be around beauty,

 in nature's forest scenes, her

mountain peaks. I need to bask

in the waters she leaves, for my

love walks on these shores when

 the tide is low, and when it is high she floats.

 

But decay stifles creative seas.

The polluted waters rush ever onwards

covering the beach in debris,

But I don’t need to sit on this dirty sand,

I don’t need the oil to stain my hands.

For I am free to sit in beauty's seat.

 

And I walk headfirst into the waves

and the wayward storms collide, in bright

rainbow signs. Washing away the dregs

of humanity's greed.

 

 And I walk onto a new shore, uncertainty in eyes,

but in my heart, I’m sure, that this land is where my

pathway leads and the storms bend for me.

and the blending oceans reflect peaceful skies,

as the sun rises in blessing once again.

Bigger than galaxies

 

I drift across open lands

3000 miles of time-aged sand,

golden fragments of beauty lie beneath me,

crushed glass windows into forever.

I see memories transmute into history

and promises blossom into new stories, all

spanning the continents below my fingertips.

 

And I reach down.

 

Feeling it flow through my hands,

hourglass seconds shift into a fast forward haze,

days, weeks, months rush past

in a fleeting blink of windswept time.

The sun rises and falls, cycling through

seasoned skies.

In the iris of glorious eyes,

I witness

Every grain of your story.

Every cry in each raging sunset.

Every worn-down smile in every broken year.

 

And I see a teardrop

 

Fall

in slow motion

to the lands below.

 

And I pull it all near. Every heartache, every tear,

every broken promise. Every stolen trust. Every fear.

 

And I soar higher, faster

through the ink-stained sky.

The eclipsed view of a sun and moon

becoming one, a union of space,

a love unlike any we’ve known.

And I’m just a speck of sand

in the eyes of eternity, but I will

hold out my hand to make us bigger than galaxies.

 

And I whisper 'I love you'

to the air, knowing that 

it will reach your ears.

A majestic trio of words,

meaning more than the sum

of all the gold on earth.

 

And I blow clear the sand

to join memories of yesteryear.

Promise caught in a fly-by moment.

I won’t let you hurt anymore.

I'll hold you higher than the universe above,

I'll shine a light brighter than

all the stars combined. And I'll

will them to align with you,

for fate can align with us,

because I love you in your beautiful truth.

 

If you hold onto the hope

that I do, and take hold

of my hand, we will never fall

or falter as we drift over the lands.

The green giving way to blue,

and I see purity, a perfect new bloom.

A spring meadow, a whisper of you,

breathlessly floating through

my dreams of forever.
