My Voice in Words

In the heavy air of summer
The clouds give way
And as the water free falls
Like tiny bodies from above
Crystals of heaven
Dance around us
I rush to find cover
But you pull me out again
Your face is lifted to the sky
Welcoming the curious cold
And you laugh childlike
The water soothing our body heat
I reach for you hand
And as you turn to face me
Our eyes catch and lock
All around us
Life slows
Between the pulse of rain drops
Gravity rushes to meet them
Forcing them to pause
And for one moment
This world is ours

In the abyss that becomes my desires 
I sit stirring in my darkness
Like a seesaw of emotions
Teetering between loving you and leaving you
It would be easy to walk away now
You have made that much clear
Yet a part of me is acutely aware
That any absence of you - would leave me maimed
And no one ever said anything easy was worth the struggle in the end
So I remain here
 In the glimpses of your light
Waiting for you to make up your mind on me - when I have long known mine

I am one of those people who sees the character in everyone. True Character. It isn’t just seeing the best in people; it is seeing the worst, the ugly, the darkness that people try to hide. I can tell from 2 minutes of looking in your eyes and having a conversation - who you are. I analyze your body language, your voice, the way you respond to the environment around you. I see everything you are …not aware you are projecting. I know what makes you tick, I can find out your weakness in a hidden reflex. I can tell your desires, your dreams, your insecurities. And if you are brave enough to keep eye contact with me, I will read your mind… I will mirror my motions, and emotions around you to make you feel safe and secure and like you’ve known me your entire life. Because I am an old soul, and wise beyond my years. And that fact alone makes you drawn to me. In two minutes I know you. But make no mistake… you can spend years trying to peel away my layers… but you will never really ever KNOW me.

Poised and calm
Like you can’t feel the atmosphere tonight
It’s heavy with electricity
I am waiting for the sonic boom to come crashing down
But all you need to do is look my way
Let me read those eyes you keep hiding
Let me feel the stillness in your confusion
Let me just feel you
Before the storm rolls in
Don’t just sit there
Move damn it
Before we let life move us apart for good

Beats thump in my ears
Steady rhythmic waves
The music of heart strings
Played with professional hands
Beautiful to my ears as a California sunset
Burning heavy in all the right moments
And slipping slowly down
Like lovers hands
Cradled into sweet slumber
When two beats beat as one
