Embraced in Wings

On the shores of that silent beach,
Stars faraway we were a watching.

In nothing but a blink of an eye,
Clouds gather and put the stars a hiding.

The torrent stirs with lashing winds,
Sea spray or perhaps raindrops a pelting.

Still we stare to the ocean black,
Without a care of the world a wanting.

Violent winds bring water and sand,
On our skin it scrapes with a hurting.

It is here I envelop you,
With my wings and arms an embracing.

As the storm rages from the calm,
 I stand steadfast to keep you a shielding.

Storm passes leaving gentle rain,
Mere raindrops that leaves us a drenching.

Quickly it came and so it went,
Nothing left but us there a standing.

And still you lie in my embrace,
Gentle flame of warmth an emanating.

Soon you are restored whole again,
And down the path we go a walking.

To where it leads a mystery,
Away from these wings where I watch a wishing.

Voices

An extended soliloquy,
A muse of my paramour,
What will never be,
Tainted forevermore.

From the Fragments of a Shattered Mind...

"...and so the twists of life has robbed us of our youth..."

"...there lies a pain more than unrequited love; that of love unconsummated..."

"...we are but complex, nothing more, nothing less..."

"...no more hope, but only desire to hold and caress..."

"...the knowledge of the eventuality of where this leads us renders that which is finite all the more bittersweet... "

"...detours that lead ever so close but not meet..."

"...kindred spirits of the starlight and rustling leaves..."

"...that we know the failings of each other is but one and the same of those which we love and hope never change..."
