Within

I wonder if you’ve forgotten
my time inside
below and up within
If time falls down
and in darkness
finds a space
to fill with memory and longing

I wonder if time’s forgotten
Pain and pleasure fallen
Touch on skin
Me in yours
and you reaching
for everything you shouldn’t

I wonder if I’ve forgotten
Time over and again
Would I see it once more
Wanting the outside
And within

Everything

I remember a time
In a wood lined room
Lying under the eaves
Forgotten
Water falls down
Walls unfamiliar
Blood on white
Washed away
I’m looking through doors
I’m looking through walls
Asking for offers
Long given
I’m walking around
I’m holding within
You’re testing the limits
of everything

Falls back

Could you touch?
Would you know?
Skin long past
and forgotten.
Blood rings true
Path falls back
With echoes of times long ago

Could you feel?
Would you care?
Bruise and scar
long healed
Memories fall down
Truth in black
When past falls down and falls back

Long Ago

This is such a personal thing
To do
Or to read
To lay down what I’ve done
with the way I feel
This is such an intimate thing
filled with fear
and longing
This is such a dangerous thing
To fill space
To fill time
With emotions of long ago
