Perfection

its dark out

you can see stars for miles

the barn is just a dim glow in the distance.

the horses run around us

kicking up dirt and making me feel at home.

the smell of horses and the country makes me feel free.

I stand there and watch you in the moonlight

hardly paying any attention to what you are saying.

I want to tell you to stay, the words "don't go." form on my lips

but are never spoken.

I know you have to go, but I do not want you to.

you are still talking

I walk up to you and cut you off mid sentence 

with nothing more than a kiss.

how I wish I could capture that moment forever.

The stars and the moon,

horses all around

as I kiss you in a country pasture.

Perfection.

falling into nothingness we stand
enveloped in a blue moon
sand lapping at our feet
the navy and purple littered with stars
amber waves laced with foam
rock around the coolness of my glass
the weight inside my head
pushing against my forehead
brimming with things unsaid
the weight behind my eyes
pushing forward
the weight of things seen
and yet to be seen
the weight of my lids
pushing me towards sleep
that I may have dreams of nothing

Adrift at sea
No anchor to speak of.
That rope was cut long ago.
I stand at the window
looking out up on the world
like some young visage of an older woman
who stood here pining for love
many years ago.
Her shadow fills my mind,
or is it my own doubts and uncertainty?
Looking for the answer,
Where do we go from here?
My mind tells me its over,
my heart says "give it one last try."
The 11th hour is at hand,
a decision must be made.

Enchanted by the land
Dazzled by the stars
Wondering if you're thinking of me.
Two falling stars
An echo of my feelings for you
A bright ball of light
Burning bright for a moment
Across the velvet of a New Mexico sky.
I want you in my life
You tell me you need me in yours.
Why is it that I feel
As if I have faded
Into the background of your life?
I pray to a God,
I wish upon stars,
I believe in luck,
Good fortune,
Fate and Destiny
Is there a true place for me in your life?
Where did the sweetness,
The tenderness,
The kind words,
Where did the man I knew in November go?
I miss him.
He captured my heart with a single word
A single look.
I want him back
But I have not the words to tell you
If I did I would not know how.
