Precipice
Precipice
Change brings about many good things
No need to hide beneath silver wings
Though you may feel vulnerable
And sometimes a mite uncomfortable
It often comes with a breakthrough
Depending upon your point of view
Others embrace change and fly
Looking ahead with eager eye
Not seeing a cavern or abyss
Moving forward with avid bliss
With wind beneath your wings
You can accomplish so many things
Opportunities too often denied
Those unwilling and pushed aside
Seeing only a precipice
That could completely envelop us
Vulnerable
We were young, just twenty-one
Yet I knew you were the one
Stardust once was in my eyes
My love for you I vocalized
Together as one you and I
Forever together do or die
So certain we would last for years
Sadly drowning in an ocean of tears
Romantic illusions broken and crushed
Around me, all have turned to dust
Pick myself up and dust myself off
Trying not at true love to scoff
Other possibilities before me lay
Perhaps a true love I’ll find one day
Desire
Desire
The heart fills with desire, it wants what it wants
That which is attainable, that which is not, haunts
Leading us astray from what is acceptable
Into foreign lands so vulnerable, susceptible
Often a balance we seek between the two
Whispers of truth acknowledged, bid adieu
Follow our heart, follow our mind
Sometimes in neither, satisfaction find
Still flames of desire build and overcomes
Sensibility, longing, craving reality becomes
Until sated by desire’s passionate determination
That little slice of cake is our only salvation
Exposure
Exposure
The interminable power of words
To tear apart or act as healing herbs
Serving as salve on old pain and hurt
Gracious words our fears now thwart
Over exposure of heart and soul
Long held together by self-control
Leaving us vulnerable and exposed
Because of all we gently disclosed
Humbly, openly, fearfully shared
With someone trusted and revered
Knowing that the depths of caring
Will continue never wavering
Taking that chance to be open
Leaving us whole not broken
