Sometimes

When it's dark and i'm pushing the mower back to it's dark little cave in the back yard, I look over my shoulder, with a little shiver of fear, for the boogeyman.

Finding His Eyes

Through the Leaves, JT 2006

Sui Generis (Visions Continued Further)...

Before then I had never heard a moment speak so well
Seeing you and how you were being so kind to me
In the corners of your eyes lies the twinkle of starlight
There was a feeling there that soon became defined

Focus...

My Only Words, BD 2006

Cooking

It's how I know I miss you, because the setting is for four.

You Are More Than My Only Words...

If I were to form a sentence or a phrase
Compose a poem or even a love letter
Could I convey the meaning to you
Of how I read your different kisses
Or how your words feel on my lips

If I were to paint a portrait or a landscape
Capture a frame in time or an abstract space
Could I convey the meaning to you
Of how I view your faultless beauty
Or how my images enter your watch

Reaching (Continued Even Further Than Before)

Hurdles, JT 2006

Some Hurdles Seem So High

I can't sleep
Not even after a warm shower.
Are you sleeping ?
I wandered
About the house, peered out the windows.
Is someone out there ?
I thought about
Our past and the path through the present.
How did we get here ?
The future seems
So far, I think my heart could break.
Am I worthy of the effort ?
I am sinking
Into a melancholic reverie, warm, easy.
What is this strange calm ?
My head is filled
With the scent of you rising from my damp skin.


Which way from here ?

Aegis...

Line In Sight, JT / BD 2006

Her Beauty Makes Three And Four, Three And Four Make Twelve...

I walk in the grass and
I feel some peace at last
I walk on the beach and for once
I feel some ease
I'll take a picture of you
To remember how good you look - Manic Street Preachers / Enola~Alone

It All Started With Phaedra...

Shade #11, BD 2006

Phenotype (Three)...

A comfortable chair
Surrounded by my centre
Forgive me for wanting a sign
To show my joy at night
As two become one
It's turning out this way
We are growing deep
No problems with gridlock
Or saving the life
Resting like we should be

Million Dollar Man...

I have never been in a position that I could leave my balance unchecked on pay day. I feel that bottleneck around the turn of the year, I shop around for insurance, I hate looking at my phone bill. But today I spoke about money with JT. I realised, money just doesn't matter that much to me anymore - I'm just looking to pay for the things needed and live comfortably; support her and share our time with some of the things we want.

In honesty I feel richer than I ever have...

Phenotype (Two)...

I can hide in myself
If murder is easy
What is so hard to say
That it shouldn't be
I have always said
I want to love you my way
I savour the line
From a million reflections
You are the one
That has always caught my eye

Opposing Views ?

Sometimes when you really want to let go, you need to hold tighter.

If the want for release is there then it should be taken.

Gifts mean nothing if they are not embraced by the receiver.

Gifts mean everything if they are from the heart.

Phenotype (One)...

Time to fall asleep
I take the fractions
Of these emotions
Seeing your dreams
I have found in life
Piecing together
What you wanted me too
I protect your senses
And I will serve any
Sentence for you

Monogamy

If it's a myth then why do we long for it ?

Monogamy: It's Good For You

In animals from established social pairs corticosterone levels also fluctuate according to the social environment of the animal; the absence of a familiar partner is associated with increased corticosterone secretion, and in the presence of the familiar partner corticosterone levels tend to decline. (Carter et al., 1995)

I Look Beyond Surfaces (Continued)...

Eyes
They hold tight on your beauty
There is no mistake in what they reflect

Lips
They touch in a way trying to lock
There is no doubt in the intimacy they serve

Ears
They dance in your volume
There is no fault in the harmony that you play

I look to you and I see you, I love you...

Is life still the same

Not since that day
I fell for you

The Most Important Thing...

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know - Metallica / Nothing Else Matters

Homesick...

Resting Place, JT / BD 2006

She Is Beautiful...

When she wakes up, as the slither of the light glimmers on her newly opened eyes and the first smile of her day emerges she is beautiful.
When she showers, as the warming water drips from her and suds trail over her skin she is beautiful.
When she drives, as she sighs over light changes and she observes the other drivers on the road she is beautiful.
When she complains, as her tone nags at me and I think of scratching chalkboards she is beautiful.
When she answers her phone, as her voice smiles to the caller and she asks them how they are she is beautiful.
When she cooks, as she chops and when she checks on what I am doing she is beautiful.
When she sits with me, as her body and her legs are resting on me and her arms are tangled amongst mine she is beautiful.
When she talks to me, as her mouth moves and her gentle accent spills around me she is beautiful.
When she listens to me, as her eyes follow mine and her interested she brings her forward to me she is beautiful.
When she doesn't listen to me, as her eyes wander the room and I feel the lightness of her grasp she is beautiful.
When she sleeps, as her breathing slows and deepens and the movement of her chest is rhythmic she is beautiful.

Bridges Built...

Untitled, JT / BD 2006

New Footings...

Dance slow with me for the whole night long
Sing with me one of our forever love songs
Swim with me on the floor in ecstatic waves
It's this new dreamer's wish, dance with me

Still...

Untitled, BD 2006

Depression (Part 2)...

Kill me just now when my senses are too strong
It's no illusion where everyday I bleed
Do you see, do you even know
That I have been brought down again
Suffering at the hands of my head
Till I can't hide the pain of the words said
Is this the ending of another start
Communication meant to connect the apart
Promises given on the cross of a heart
If I can't find the way now and if you can't show
I'll begin to defend trying never to suffer breakout

Moments: Continuing Our Moments Made...

She wore yellow...

She was propped up against a pillar with a look on her face of the purest light, on her face a smile that prodded a smile onto my face. She brought her light back to my life, she began to shine on me again that made me feel so alive. Her eyes were big and shining, the liner she had around them added focus to the velvety green and crispness to the white of her eyes. When she motioned toward me, I could feel the warmth grow in me like the warmth on skin that the sun gives when clouds clear its path. She is beautiful, I could see it; I always do. She is so beautiful, even more than the picture I was showing myself over and over on the flight. We touched, we emerged from under our shadows to embrace, to bind, to find the feeling of each others skin, my hands placed on her in effort to assist the thoughts on my mind. She fitted against me, almost as if I was cast for her; we lit the vicinity under the darkness of the stars.

M2...

We walked together, our trail easy, our steps in time. I was standing looking, she was watching me; her eyes searching mine. Her body against mine, my arms around her - gently pulling her closer to me. Her nose pressing into my neck, her cheek resting on my chest. Her hair was soft to the touch as her scent was to my nose. My eyes were in hers and her lips were on mine. Between scanning for my luggage I took in her features again, I spoiled myself by tracing her face, her pretty little face that is made of delicate graceful features. I held her close and a smile commanded me. I was tired from the journey, but seeing her and feeling our spark was refreshing it prevented my body taking any notice of the jet lag I was meant to be suffering. We had slipped back into the intimacy that we so easily grew into previously.

We contine seamlessly...

He Brings My Coffee

You see a long time ago, I saw a scene in a movie where a man brought coffee to woo a lovely lady, early in the morning at her doorstep. I turned to my daughters and said, “Marry the man who brings you coffee like that.” A small gesture, gaining nothing, a simple expression of love.

Number 20

The rumble of the racing clouds
Echoes from within me
Eyes closed against the rain
The droplets fill my mind
Softly dripping down the line
Seized by petals as they fall
To fill the puddles that swell the ground
And rise to meet the swirling gray
Spilling into the darkness of my mind
As your helpless, pleading eyes
Reach across the rushing waters
The world stands stark in electric silence
And I sink into the soundless depths

Time

Is for us to be loving each other. Everthing else is secondary.

We can bloom and grow
