United Knot

We hesitated.

The tadpoles swam against the tidal waves of what's left of us
Feelings torn as they cling to either floating driftwood or sinking rust

We separated.

Pushing and pulling this way or that
Fighting for control and respect, perhaps?
We cross the point of no return and often look back
Defending or rescuing the tadpoles if under attack

We are united.

Bricks and mortar never made a home
Unconditional love built bridges to the future unknown
We still battle on in the river we've loved and grown
We hesitated, separated then united to the croaking sounds from the little happy toads

Poison Ivy

Tendrils of green lace the poetry walls. Leeching the blood of those she enthralls. Finding a crack she works her way in. To inject her poison, a glorified sin. Poisonous ivy looks coy at a glance.

Terminal Velocity

We have reached our Terminal velocity, I jumped, you flew, No more I can do Except keep falling; Time to wait, As the world Rushes closer, Will the parachutes Ever open.

That Feeling

I don't know how I don't know why I never want to see A tear from your eye I want to see you happy And always smile I can give this to you Don't you see why.

What Is To Come

Nothing left. For us to say. Nothing left. For us to do. No more lights. To guide the way. No more smiles. From me, or you. All the pain. That we have shared. All in wain,. though we both cared.

Scars

There won't be tears in his face. There won't come screams for her grace. There won't be any why oh why's. There won't be any final try's. Sacrificing his own good. Saving her smile as he should.
