The Santa Cruz Series
ocean
Moonbeams
Draw near to me
Says the moon to the wailing sea
Lovers waves surrender
To the steady tugs of gravity
Share the love
Flight
Already we’re
so high
Above the worries that grip me so tight
Confines of anxiety
Turn into shapes
Of alligators and snakes
The sky now holds my pain
It feels weightless
And I give it a name
Freedom
And disperse her pieces
Far below
Ashes to the ocean
Share the love
Young again
Foundations built on lies
The sky is blue
You convinced me it was white
Now having eyes of my own
Like a baby being born
I am happy to be young again
Two were to become one
But you chose to blend with the rest of them
And scatter me to the sea
A burned lovers ashes
Sinking down to the fishes
But I rose to the surface
With hair of babies breath
And eyes of wonderment
I am happy to be young again
Cleansed from your darkness
Redefining what beautiful is
Share the love
My soul is mine again
Tonight my pain is as deep as the ocean
My sorrow is painted in dark alleyways
My eyes are in dreary disbelief
For my soul is mine again
You have returned it
In many pieces
All over this room
That feels like a endless field
Where I see no end and I yearn for reason
Reasons that will never be mine
They belong to you
You made your choices
And now I make mine too
But first…
I will lay in this field
Gazing at the white world
Fumbling for my heart that got away
Being the darkness, painting my pain
Throughout the alleyways.
