audible smiles

The voice that I know so well,
sounds so different when you laugh;
a joy shared and multiplied
immediately upon release.
A voice used to express anger,
pain and frustration
is turned into a melodious sound
that is distinctly you...
A sweet singing of happiness
carried along in waves,
accompanied by smiles and radiant eyes.
The voice that I know so well
sounds so different,
so wonderful, so relaxing,
so energetic, so addictive,
so uniquely beautiful
when you laugh.

eye sight

Eyes: the windows to his soul
are heavy with the weight of losing control;
are bright with fear of an unknown path
and filled with the calm of an experienced past;
are glazed with the release of his deepest pain
and glow with the joy released like rain;
they betray the expressions forced on his face
and ignite with desires he thought he misplaced.

destiny's crossroad

She leans her head upon his chest,
a lifetime in every sigh,
she can't believe he is here after all this time.
She tries to think that this is it,
the last time he will ever leave,
but her mind won't let go
of the thoughts her heart forced it to conceive.
Their life together, wrought with pleasure
and pain in equal measure,
has now become a circumstance
pregnant with potential in either direction.
None of them planned to end up there,
none of them chose...

take five

five minutes to pen the burdens of the mind
five minutes to release the tension gained with time
five minutes to lay them all on the wanting page
only five minutes...

scented flame

A sweet aroma fills the air,
a flame burns away the cares
leaving only an olfactory memory
- a new trigger that will stir the mind
in that direction from this day forward
