Into The Cold

I cannot comprehend
the silence
of our situation
I thought the ties
that twined
and spun would see
us through
all our days
and perhaps
into a tomorrow
that has yet
to be unveiled
that's what you told
me my love
and I said the same
I said the same
painful now
to reflect
that words can spin
so emptily
I can't understand
you see
I've made no demands
upon your soul
I've never walked
with steps
so bold
although I took you
to love and hold
as I thought you did
take me

I was taken aback
by the sudden realisation
of novelty
and discovery.
a wrigling
childish laugh
snaked it's way through my mind
to be lost in the contemplation
and the need to be part of something
just for the sake of doing it

and so the sun rolls on the hills of my life,
as i witness the disappearance of it.
the light
continues to fade on and over,
i watch in wonder waiting for a bird to fly by.
but there are no tweets.
only me
only me thoughts roam and roar in the silence.
feel my heartbeat and the sunrises

But
As it always does
And always will
The sun will fade from the puddled sky
As it has on this
Seemingly eternal chain.

We must refuel the engines,
Call upon the sickly-sweet smell of motor oil,
And form link after link,
Poem after poem,
Denying the end of this machine.

I live
I like
I laugh
I love
I look
I lust
I lie
I lose
I long
I leave
I learn
I live

from all things we try to learn,
from living and laughing to being hurt and spurned,
people from one side of the world to the other,
all the same but still different,
they stamp and clap and run around,
all like rocks upon the beach,
slowly being ground down by life's steady waves.

My hearts tonight in Ireland
My livers in Bangkok
and if your looking for my willy
I tucked it in my sock

Into the night
We shall run,
Away from it all
From the pain and from the pleasure

Into the night,
We hide our greatest sorrows
Away from the daylight
For it leaves us burning

Into the night,
We will always be shielded.
Let the shadows guide you
Never question.

From dusk until the dawn
When the night will be hidden
Once again from our prying eyes

Until you are called again
Until we need your aid
Until we use you to our advantage
Once again.

In the night,
We yell for your pardon
We let our nightmares take us over
And we let them go for they may
Never to find sanctuary
Within an other's mind.

The dark may only
Steadily hold so much secrecy
For always,
Dawn will come.

Let it wash away your fears.
Run free, dream lucidly
Laugh
Smile
Believe

But never forget,
What threatened to over come you
To wisk you away
Into the night.

Our hearts,
Our hands,
Our souls
Are entwined in
An all-emcompassing
Soul surrendering bliss,
That tingles the spine
Awakens the mind,
And emboldens
With every kiss.
These hearts,
And hands,
And souls, are reprimanded
By our heads
Who fear the words
Of those who envy
The horizon
That only our eyes
Can see.


KingChelsAug 3, 7:22pm
but we are blind
and can not see
in the darkness
is what you fear

in the light
is what you love
but in this rain
there is no sun

With not a light
You have no sight
Just the dark
that is so cold
but you're not alone
