    Re: Picture Perfect . Week 4

    beginnings become endings
    become
    beginnings again
    and we've danced so many times it seems
    goodbyes are now irrelevant.

    yet here i sit
    new destination hanging on the horizon
    piecing together words
    to usher in the newest crossroads
    while we travel
    down paths that twist
    and double back on themselves

    (side roads always lead back to you)

    and though,
    actions and distance
    may distort virtue in the hearts' voice,
    understand,
    i have always loved you.

    found my refuge in your arms
    my truth,
    in your eyes
    but sometimes
    love is not enough to tie down wings
    that long to fly

    no, this is not goodbye
    for i am taking you with me
    tucked into pages
    of unfinished stories
    that i wait patiently to re-write

    dirty blue hugs the horizon, standing against angry clouds
    like an iris might constrict one's pupil, refusing to dialate (despite approaching darkness.)

    nothing is interesting...these scents riding on the breeze, heavy with storm
    and your clothes, hems latching on the wind, trying to catch my thoughts
    like a broken dream-catcher, trying to make up for your absence
    last night.

    missing their own halves they made a whole
    sharing protection in the face of the storm
    love bridged boundries, eroded hatered of loss
    neither knew the true pain of the other
    the silence could be heard over the roar of the waves

    too many times they had met like this
    on days when the storm was more than physical
    too many times sitting and reaching out
    into the darkness of night that always drove them apart
    too many times, too many

    emotions broken like waves on the beach
    sitting, waiting, to say something or to respond
    inwardly trapped, a call for rescue responsive....
    an attempt made to feed companionships hunger
    she tuns and says..."Hi I'm Julie"
    Words are always getting conventionalized to some secondary meaning.

    catch me while im sitting here
    praying for a start
    For my end was a simple nothing
    and the water wasn't dark

    I needed you to engulf me
    to take this throbbing that i feel
    knowingly i stepped off that edge
    i just thought we had a deal

    You placed a kiss on sunken lips
    ones slowly turning blue
    and I wished for you to fill my heart
    and to take me somewhere true

    Yet here i am on this bench
    Staring back at you
    Soaked with grief and astonishment
    that my end isn't through
