wind – Poétique

Peel

I want to peel back the fence
That surrounds you
Clawing to split at the wood
From the cracks
Of all splinters and light
Scratching with all my might
Into surface the beauty
One remarkable moment
Defines

Posts of wood support me
Above the water I’ve tread
To find you, behind you
Every way
By the way
Do you mind if I stay?

Passing through you like a memory
I’ll wait at your door
I would lay on your floor

Just to be with the side
You rarely show to yourself
I want to peel back the fence
That surrounds you

You’re dragging the wind

Vindtaske

Trying to narrate the wind
You can give me everything
And you can take it all away
I will not be changed
I will be the same
Unwaivered to remain
Available to the joy
Sublime yet to sustain
Tending the garden
Of my mind I find
So many roses
So many thorns
The beauty is worth
The blood to behold
Dark shadows bright lights
Early morning late night
Waving vocals that can
Cause a deep feeling
Burning in your gut
Stinging to benumbed
Singing sounds unheard
Breathing to speak
Speaking to air
Airing to narrate
In the voice of the wind

A Long Wind

Can’t undo the past
What’s done is done
Make a new moment
That lasts longer for the
Imagination is
Much more brilliant
Than a few telephone wires
You try to love me
But it feels like you don’t want me
Maybe that’s just your style
You try to love me
But it feels like you don’t want me
Been hoping this would change for awhile
Now all we have are distant
Memories of the past
Some of them broken
Some built to last
And even if we were to gravitate
Our coping would end up
Where we were the time before
Because we can’t undo the past
What’s done is done
And now new moments wait for us
Even with all the words
That could’ve said the best
Our trust revoked a bitter test
Is there a lifetime for this one
Or is it just what’s done is done
Maybe the safety that we harbored
For our future will end up
Meeting us somewhere that hurts less
And the best will be the best
We can just forget the rest
Your voice is warm but
Your words are cold
You try to love me
But it feels like you don’t want me
Some people say things
That come out different
You try to love me
But it feels like you don’t want me
Where’s the beginning
Wanting to return there
Back to the place where
We had more fun
When fun was fun
Before what’s done is done

Turbine

A departure from what was
I lost site of all the love
Keeping head above water
Drowning in a sea of mystery
Where will the end come
How many marks on the
Chalkboard have I yet to
Still become and crest no sight
Of the beginning unto the end
A lost friend and a new page
A book for history to gift away
For the ages long after I am
Gone and back to the wind
I carry on and soon begin
Again to find the turbine
That blows me back into
The arms of love
