Beholden

Something From Today …

Beholden to and true to heart

I have fallen from this place

In the shallows of this river of tears

it’s last stand has been erased

Where lovers come to claim their day

betrothed to the widened eye

Of the dreamers parade, as it passes through

The unwilling start to cry

The lovers kiss is secret to this,

The touch is to mend broken hearts

Tis’ the reason they came, to light a fire again,

but time has stolen the plot

And as hard they try to put a past behind,

it’s a failing lesson soon to be learned

That the morrow is here, and always reappears

and it leaves standing alone all concerned

This has been proven a lasting tale

of the wanting never getting the needs

And of tear stained eyes searching for paradise

Lost in the forest for the trees

Dare I say,

Dare I not …

there is no need to explain

For with every breath, every beat of your heart

there is no answer to this pain

It’s the lovers dance that brings us here

searching for what we think we want

In the shallows of thought and in the midst of breath

We always seem to fall short

But it’s not despair that I caution you here

I mean no hurt to your heart

It’s not the plan to close this book, story untold

But to find a new…

a start.

So hold me close, let me feel the beat of your heart

I am hungry to learn the cost

Of what we all search to make us whole

The kiss that never stops ~
