Caution and the Wind

Her eyes dance in the brilliant reflection
The reflection of what she used to be
A softness creeps purposefully across my face
And It approaches so carefree… appeasingly
Alone it faces me, completely at ease
So I welcome its earnestness
I welcome the peace.
I welcome this feeling that her eyes perceive
I’ve lived every day for the moment
Past and future never played in this play
And as the ease she puts me in engulfs me
My future is now so important to see
For the first time in my life I have hoped for tomorrow
As caution and the wind dance away
For every moment she seizes my sanity
As...
My solace lies in those eyes, sleeps in her mind
And breaths by the life that she leads.

The Mask and My Mind.

The mask and my mind are two in the same
One makes the rules, the other plays the games
As your eyes lay the concrete around my swollen feet
I struggle for balance; I’m so weak in the knees
I know what I want, yet I need to wear what fits
I can’t be a cloud on your decisions, nor a weight on your risks
I know what I want and I know what you need
Again the mask and my mind they both disagree
So I stand here so proud for the time that was spent
And I model my future on the feelings you meant
The mask and my mind they’d love to stay and play
And even though it feels so right,
I know for you I need to walk away.
