Rise From My Knees

Seven years ago today this girl walked into the room and I discovered that love at first sight was a real thing. That love has grown every day since. That moment changed my life, my perspective, my beliefs.

This blog doesn't see the creative work I do daily anymore. Not because I don't do it, but because my priority is simply doing the work. I like it more as a place to post poetry of mine that won't see the light of day any other way. 

But that doesn't mean I'm not writing, or that I feel any less inspired....or any less in love. 

Here's an example...



Rise From My Knees


Many things I'd dreamed 

But could never believe

And more I'd wished for

But never received 

I was taught I just need

More time on my knees

Many things I did see

In moments between 

Real smiles and dark skies

Campfires and high seas

I watched the dirt bleed

From time on my knees

The clouds would recede 

I scattered my seeds

Sometimes I'd recline 

And try to believe

I watched as the weeds

Grew high 'round my knees

I saw bitterness breed

As hope fled the scene 

So blinded by cries

I'd hide behind trees

And question that creed

Of more time on my knees 

I tried to break free

I searched for the key

I fought all the pitchforks 

Ignored were my pleas

No day left to seize

I fell to my knees

Then one night I see

Your eyes through the heat

You fly me up high

And we cry on your seat

A truth on the breeze

Sees me rise from my knees

Now time doesn't squeeze

The life from our dreams

Or tie up our insides

With lies and deceit

We have all we need

And now we believe 

This love never dies

Despite fires or seas

No trials come between

Our cuddling regime 

Our time spent aligning

Our eyes and our feet

Our hearts and their beats

Our birds and our bees

We'll fly beyond time

Not die on our knees

Why Is I Two

I'll never feel about me the way I feel about you
You

You are the open wilds, I am the zoo

I'll never feel about me the way I feel about you

You

You feed the river while weeds choke my groove

I'll never feel about me the way I feel about you

You - you, you you

The ache we feel, I created

The waking fear you faced, I debated

The waiting here that I did, you repainted

This hating jealousy will see it's goodbye

When I take the steps to stand up in the open sky

I'll never feel about me the way I feel about you

You

You are the talented, I am the nube 

I'll never feel about me the way I feel about you

You

You wear the V t-shirt, I wear the cube

I am not the clothes I wear

I am not what others think I am

I am not a cold lost soul, impaired

I am not what I hope or the dope might claim

But the thing I dig for I may not find, am I blind

Inside

I'll never feel about me the way I feel about you

You

You speak the words I think and feel, like they're new

I'll never feel about me the way I feel about you

You

You sail the sea where reality is true

I'll never feel about me the way I feel about you

You

What you could believe I put behind an excuse

Just coz a door is open doesn't mean

That it's easy to walk through 

You sing all the things that I lust, I just have you

You - you, you you

I don't know where I'm going but I gotta move on

On

Onto the open sky, where I is not two
