Silence That's Between Us

 I am still lingering

in the springhouse

still unraveling the twine

set for my feet

I am tied to the lighthouse

always incomplete

still missing the balloons' that

escaped our  youthful

hands

still enthralled by music

still in love with a boy in a band

that rusty old bridge haunts me

random hitchhikers remind me

we're all one step away from

freedoms' or

one foot away from no more

breathing

I whisper to the incurable silence

that's between us...

always trying to catch up with you

but sadly my application to leave here

has been misplaced

and the elevator is unfortunately stuck

half of my heart is gone 

the other half just waits to die...

immortal this silence between you and I

Hold your loves and hold them tightly, unless time be cruel and separate two beating hearts. No time to waste or regret, live fully, unashamedly & thrive. Good love, good life shouldn't be wasted ; time is ours but this once. Don't close your eyes, your heart to what's before you right now.  Thanks for reading, love to all - Vanessa

Complacent

 breeze in the curtains

cinnamon whiskey waits

sky so full of love

it's blooming pink

it's 7:00

I wish I was asleep

the betrayals

they make sure you see

let them know

it doesn't matter

can't shake your identity

and you smile when 

romance is beautiful

and you sleep when 

it tires you

but you can dress up knowing

your glass is full

you just don't know

if it's full enough

to keep you there

Here's hoping all who read this is in a wonderful place, that you are aware of all the happiness you deserve, desire is there for the taking. It just make take effort on your part to say yes to the worthy, no to the manipulation that will destroy the good places, people & opportunities waiting for you. Here's to exposing all the dragons that can't love us as we are. And here's to the ones waiting to embrace all we are flaws and all. Take care all. Appreciate each one of you - Vanessa
