I was woken by the sunlight, you kept me up all night talking yourself into my memory, all bleary eyed and unafraid. We could have shifted the world, but we faded out, for the best, for the best. Take care, yeah?

WE COULD HAVE SHIFTED THE WORLD

Take my hand in yours,

Forming a fist,

Forming something new-

A beating heart that’s both ours.

You promised me that –

A new life, beginning, hope.

You promised me that –

Something different, special, true.

You promised me that –

Together, we’d shift the word.

But you –

Let my hand go,

Breaking our heart-

Breaking my heart.

Something New

Lost tracks made new paths

Lost to loved to lonely togetherness

Just sprawled out on the star sight

Worked out in the daylight slumber

Stretch and place the backpack tight

Take my hand and away we roll

Like two entangled flames spitting passion

Treading volcanic hilltops at midnight

Marking memories in the soil, roasting in open spaces, freeing everything. Just needing the feel of your skin, the call of your breath, those weary toes trekking by my own, as the night wakes up to our silent cries and inner voices, finding peace in this knowing we’re all we’ll ever have…

TAKE MY HAND AND AWAY WE ROLL

We talk of travels-

Of new towns, new villages, new cities.

We talk of discoveries-

Of new music, art, life

We talk of adventures-

In Paris, Amsterdam, Greece

Take my hand,

And –

Away we roll –

The start of our travels, discoveries, adventures

We talk of home-

Of a space for creativity, music, love

We talk of joy-

Of you and me and everyone we know

We talk of us-

Of you and me and the love we have

Take my hand,

And –

Away we roll-

Starting our life together, as one.
