My arms ache to embrace
My feet want to dance
In the warm sands
But my eyes only see
Beckoning fingers and siren eyes
And so I turn away and ask
Where are you tonight?

Capture a paradox

Sketch me in charcoal hues
Draw me out of darkness
Let the rays of light inspire

I don't care for spaces
Not if you were once there
In all your brave colours
And your glowing warmth near
But then when I looked
I was stunned for a while
There was no one there
Only a blank . . . more

And wish you were here
Standing before me
Very close, very near.
Such a beautiful face
So dear to my heart
I reach out to touch it

Someday,
these wings will move,
will brave the winds and you'll fly.
You'll know freedom,
you'll see a world from that sky.
Someday,
you'll come back,
echoing homes and strangers

My throat waits patiently
for sounds that don't come
My soul is quiet
tonight.
Quiet, not peaceful
the rumblings thrum
but inside
there is no listening.
No hearing the

In the darkness I'd awaken
