I sit and watch

I sit and watch

Tears covering my cheeks

With a fading smile

A mixture of pain

And an all distant memory

A childhood we shared

The love of a sibling lost

I can only sit and watch

I sit and wonder

Long into the nights

With unfading desire

To reach out and call

As the distant memories return

Of a childhood now lost

Tears washing my face

Yet I can only sit and watch

I sit and drift

A weak painful smile cracking

Memories from the past

Of a childhood now buried

And a longing for your return

For a chance to unite

Just once more

So I sit and watch

 

Nightly Bliss

Night whispering

Singing from the nothingness

Of the darkness outside

Trees swaying in a dance

To the soft breeze

Increasing in crescendo

Interrupting the silence

As lone stars stand to watch

Peering like eager spectators

Tangling strangely alone

Two as a pair

Roughly then tenderly

Lighting the fire bags

Turning on the heat in bits

Swaying each back and forth

To sojourn in exploration

Before their lips meet

To lock like an auto machine

Entangled in emotions

Hands roaming wild

To meet at separate points

Where each acquires wings

To soar each to their own heights

All lost in moments

Ending in whimpers and whispers

Of satisfaction swaying them

Away into nightly bliss
