voice of your eyes

i think i should have loved you presently,

and given in earnest words i flung in jest;

and lifted honest eyes for you to see,

and caught your hand against my cheek and breast;

and all my pretty follies flung aside

that won you to me...

and walk your memory's halls, austere, supreme,

a ghost in  marble of a girl you know

who would have loved you in a  day or two.

~edna st. vincent millay

somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond

any experience, your eyes have their silence:

in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,

or which i cannot touch because they are too near...

or if you wish to be to close me, i and

my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly...

...nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals

the power of your intense fragility...

(i do not know what it is about you that closes

and opens; only something in me understands

the voice of your eyes is deeper than all the roses)

~e.e.cummings

stars in the ocean

pearls in the sky

all that is wrong now and everything right

drifts like moonlight

blue on your tired face

you say, "don't fear love"

you just need some space.

i wish i could crawl in your mind and fight for me

fight for me

i wish i could crawl in your heart and fight for me

fight for me.

i feel my skin stretch

tender and thin and tight

you say, "don't fear love"

you just need some time.

i wish i could crawl lin your mind and fight for me

fight for me

i wish i could crawl in your heart and fight for me

fight for me.

crawl in your eyes and cry

even just one tear for me

crawl in your mouth and sing a song of love

and if you like the taste then won't you stay?

i wish i could crawl in your mind and fight for me

fight for me

i wish i could crawl in your heart and fight for me

fight for me.

Currently Listening The Luxury of Time By David Mead Wherever You Are see related

i went to franklin, tn to visit my family this weekend...checked out early and got a full four days.

i love being there. i love those people so so so much. those words seem shallow but they ring so true. they are like medicine to me.

i really needed the time away...to think and just breathe some different air.

and i look back over my shoulder at the time i had alone, and with them and i am amazed at how good God is and how He planned out each day as i needed it....it just couldn't have been any better if i had tried to do things my way...i just went with the flow, and it was beautiful.

i feel like time falls through the cracks faster and faster...i ache for so much these days, for people, for more time.

i am doing the right thing by pulling back...but i can't shake the feeling that i am losing and not gaining...i hope that feeling changes someday. this is teaching me about relationships...and communicating well in relationships...so really i am gaining.....remind me of that if i claim otherwise.

a woman i love has died.
