Poem 2 – Yearnings

The distance between us is far and bare
I’ve anchored my feelings, nothing more than a stare
I wish I could break the shackles
I’d take on the fighters and win any battle
I’d listen to what ignites your fires
I’d revive from your love, life and desires
We’d travel across borders and green lands
Before I see the rest you get up and stand.

And as you leave, a quick glance shows you care
No chivalry today my darling,
But I will one day have the courage to profess, I swear.

Poem 1 – Element

Hide it
Throw dirt
Ignore it
It’s done

Back in the earth
Where it came from

The wind
Speaks
Asking
Why

I don’t want to answer
I don’t want to lie

Burning
Wood
The fires
Alight

As darkness descends
I feel the cool night

I boil
The water
I boil
My bones

Here I look to rest
In my element, alone
