The Basement

Clouds

I saw a gleam in your eye
It matched my own.
Then a cloud came
The gleam was gone.

I felt the warmth of your embrace,
I felt happy to be in your arms,
Then the Cloud came,
The embrace was gone.

I enjoyed the tenderness of your kiss
The warmth of your lips brushing against my cheek
Again that Cloud
The moment was gone.

That cloud that haunts you,
Will not stare into your eyes,
Embrace you,
Or relish the feel of your kiss.

For clouds drift away.
I am Here!!!
Real and Tangiable,
But only you
Can get Rid of the Clouds.

THE WORDS I CANNOT SPEAK

I can speak of so many things,
openly and honestly.
I can share so much of my life,
freely and unecumbered.
I can discuss my experiences,
with depth and knowledge.
I can reveal my mistakes,
without shame or remorse.
It is the Words I Cannot Speak
That need to be said.
I fear those words,
for they've betrayed me once.
I despise those words,
for they've left me vulnerable.
I detest those words,
for they've left an emptiness within me before.
I listen to your voice,
I hear your heart,
and I think of...
