Shadows descend from every thought
shading what was covered by stars.
I don't know how to find my way back,
but I know that you
are somewhere within that fading.
I will not call off the search.
Every star guides me a fraction of a second
closer to where you've forgotten how
to reflect it back to me.
In a life defined by darkness
you have been
every brief glimpse of light.

Poetry: I can't reach you
I have always held you close to me, so why have you distanced your love from me?
You were the only one that was born out
December Sky, I Can't Reach You.
A year today, a whirlwind romance,
Whipped us away.
A year tomorrow, you showed me,
Your heart.
And
by Jon Coe
Your doors are always wide ajar
windows with a view so far
Door steps leading up a wall
pathway leading, no recall
Telephone
Shadows descend from every thought
shading what was covered by stars.
I don't know how to find my way back,
but I know
Too far to make it
Make back safe
Too much too soon
Now there no hope
As you stretch out
A hand, I know too well
It's too late
