Granting Dreams (Poem)

Hope you're well, I'm doing fine
I think of you from time to time
There's nothing here but what you left
I'm getting there, just haven't yet
Your moments pass like ocean breeze
I've yet to see those wings beneath
Within the lungs, you graced my heart
So long ago, an ancient art
While others pass from day to day
Your memory, it binds and stays
Still trapped inside my mind right now
The reason somewhere, unknown how
For me to dream of all these things
The dark of night, glow morning brings
You're there, I'm here and all it means
Is fate has yet to grant these dreams

I Thought I Forgot You (Poem)

Inspired by the dark, watching the whispering walls as they turn
Shadows of an arc, shapes that swirl and dance as fires burn
Learning how to breathe, knowing the real is what we perceive
Unthinking as we heave, pressing further through what we believe
So many more creations, so many more, so far away
As we sit so calmly at our stations, moving blissfully through our day

Moments in time frozen only in memories, what we see
Passions and purpose known only to you and to me
Each fallen grain of sand demanding to be reset
Finding it's place among the millions it has met
Climbing through thoughts like a spider on the wall
Each one I have of you, losing grip to let me fall

I'll never want to know why you've become a ghost
For all the passion and heartache my mind played host
I've let go of all devices and decided to move on
This bitter world had broken once, a goal I'd set upon
Remember this and promises that time has long since killed
For all I've meant to find is now a faded, passing thrill
