I looked outside,
could see the blue sky,
I wondered inside,
what’s my takeaway.
Thought about snowshoeing,
enjoying the crisp air,
wondered what I’m doing
questioning nature.
Seems everything is clear,
then why the cobwebs,
trying to only assure
the mind flows and ebbs.
I’m counting on someone,
to come rescue me,
on this beautiful day, one
asks authenticity.
She asked me that while looking in my eyes
I said I do only to sound sort of wise.
I went back to look and nothing made sense
So badly i wanted to give this love a chance.
~
She told me my stories frightened her,
she thought they classified a pattern.
I wanted only her appeal to a passion,
a heartfelt solution to her indecision.
~
Seems our lives are easily triggered
that noticeable desire deferred
Seems only now can we appreciate
the very love we so quickly negate.
~
I wanted her to know my love is true
Instead we cascaded deep into a blue.
If only tonight were enough
if a realization would give peace.
This outcome treats me rough,
a quiet departure, her silent release.
~
If only I could know today,
how I let elegance drift away
If only I could know today.
~
I was walking with her the other day
just the other day, now suddenly
this quiet void, she has gone away.
No love so able with her so openly.
~
Sweet is her elegance show me the way
If only now we might, Oh sweet elegance.

I woke to tapping panes,
tears would gather on my sill.
The sun miles away in the east,
clearly shadowed, chilling showers.
I wandered deep inside clouds
searching for my light of day.
The winds outside would change,
carrying fears I might disdain.
Seems funny when we feel rain,
wet skin not yet allowing spring.
I laid my head upon my pillow,
wishing she might hear my song.
