Written by Alex of Into Dawn and Me of Tryst… This is a piece purely written to brighten the day… place a smile upon the face… warm the heart… From two wonderful and warm friends… Enjoy!

A Poetic Duet

After the Rain

Those storm clouds finally clearing
The rain no longer falls
The children play in the glowing sun
Instead of behind paper walls

The warmth of the sun
Kisses my skin
Like never-ending days
I feel alive again

The shade beneath the redwood
Is comforting and calm
The leaves floating in the breeze
So lightly graze my palmSo Lost am I in such a trance
In heaven I am surrounded
With beautiful things everywhere
Never again to be grounded

Springtime flowers blooming
The in orange, yellow and red
The simple natural beauty
Much more than can be said.

Sun shinning down upon my skin

Embraced by the world around me

Strom has passed, new day has arrived

This is the way life should be

A Poetic Duet

Written by TwinDaddy of StuphBlog & Jen of Think Speak Tryst

In This Moment

Wind brought movement

To your hair in the night air

Hold on tightly to me

Shaken is the bridge we stand upon

In this moment, you are all that I see

My field of vision blurry

Melancholy tears flood my eyes

I desperately clench your body

Fear chills my very soul

In this moment, you are all that I desire

Last night’s words echo

Penetrating deep in my heart

Leaving me in the valley of despair

Holding on to our velvet embrace

In this moment, you are all that I need

We stand upon the precipice

Of this life-changing event

Will you continue to stand by me

Or in your darkness, will you relent?

In this moment, you are all that consumes me

Hush while I sing to you

The sweet melodies of my soul

Escalating my desire to please you

Watching light explode in your eyes

In this moment, you are the magic that binds us

A hollow tune rings out instead

Foreshadowing events to come

I see our paths diverge

Leaving only shattered pieces to remain

In this moment, you are all that is missing

Standing in the frost-bitten morning

Realizing yesterday is long gone

Holding on to the tangible memories

I reach for you to come along

Broken pieces in our rear view

But it doesn’t even matter

Tomorrow is the place to heal our souls

Forgetting what was shattered

Through the energy that binds us now

Standing by you, you are next to me

In this moment, you are all that I see

ღ Heart Drops ღ

Posted by jenlefever on May 9, 2013

Heart Drops

ღ

Suck in a breath

I choke for air

My heart drops to the floor

***

There is rain all around

Thunder deafens my ears

I’m down on the floor

I’ve been down for years

***

I can’t feel my fingers

Legs don’t seem to work

Pointless to call for help

Take this pain, it hurts

***

Don’t know where to run

I’ve been running for so long

I Can’t see the sun

Nothing feels like love

***

Wind hits my face

Bitter cold dose of reality

Bad always comes in numbers

I pretend I’m somewhere else

***

Fighting for the kindness

Losing the battle everyday

Family is a four letter word

I’ve got no reason to stay

***

You finally win

My tears fall from my eyes

Broken heart drops to the floor

Never to beat, anymore

Dream Kisses

Posted by jenlefever on May 2, 2013

A Poetic Duet by A Shade of Pen & Think Speak Tryst

Dream Kisses

Dark green leaves
Falling from the trees
Kissing the lake
I see you in my dreams

♥

You stand so close
I can feel you breathe
All the memories we had
Wrap around me and push me down
To the land we own

♥

You press your warmth
Into the palm of my hand
As we talk for hours
Love does not reprimand

♥

Into the afternoon sun, we have only us

We lie down in each other’s arm
Forgetting all the worries of the world
The entire universe ceases to exist
As my heart drums the beats for you

♥

Like kisses in the water

I enjoy these endless moments

Frozen in time, you by my side

Deep beauty is rooted in your eyes

♥

Nothing can take away the smile

No truth is larger than the love we share

I hug you close, I hug you hard

Because I do not want to let you go

♥

So jump into the river with me

Let’s swim until our arms tire

Brilliant sky of blue above

Naked in the water with my love

♥

The Sun silently rises in the sky

And with a pop my eyes open wide

A wonderful dream ends yet again

I still smile at those memories

Because one day it will all be a reality

♥

Like the leaves that fall

Kissing the land they fall upon

In my dreams I see you there

In a place of mine, you will never be gone

All That Remains

Posted by jenlefever on April 27, 2013

All That Remains

A moment in time

Words are like thunderstorms

The exchange we make

In attempt only to poison another

What does that say

About the people we are

When we seek to sabotage

Hurt and drown

Someone we love?

It comes like a thousand knives

I can’t shake the feeling

Up all night with anxiety

Dripping in your

Painful exchange

Falling asleep with swollen eyes

Tears of exhaustion

Finally put me to rest

But a troubled sleep it is

With your words in my mind

Trying to open your eyes

To the way things have become

Still

You come at me like

I am your enemy

May I remind you

I am only a piece of you

Your heart made mine

So why are you breaking it

apart

We have suffered a great loss

It is hard to keep going

Made even harder

With your anger choking us

Once there was unity

Now we stand divided

When all that remains

Is the anger we hide in

What do we have left

Am I the only one trying

To keep us in light

And live instead of dying

But then comes a new sun

And your words pierce my heart

Inside I am still crying

Because we are falling apart

Broken Bridges

Posted by jenlefever on April 23, 2013

Broken Bridges

What we were

Can’t shake the feeling

What we’ve done

Our bridge is now broken

Silence now between us

Whispers words unspoken

It’s not us

Broken trust

Tainted lust

We stand

In the dust

Left far behind

Said too much

Bleeding

Can’t rewind

Bridge has fallen

Shaking as we

Walk across

Daring to find

Some Peace of mind

As we are

Left far behind

The ‘Us’ we once were

Trust we once shared

Too much to take

Does either of us even care?

House of Blues

Posted by jenlefever on April 19, 2013

House of Blues ♪

Etched in the cobblestone streets

Were years of forgotten stories

Mine may be lost already

Lost in the nothingness we call

Yesterday

But forever I will remember this nothing

As I was everywhere the light touched, I

Became the night air

At night, you could hear the trumpets

On the streets of the surrounding place

Hopeful souls would come to hear

And get lost in the darkness of the Jazz

I sat at my window sill

On the nights they made their music

Never distracted by the other noises

Of life

Not when the Blues crept its way

Through the night air

To reach me, only me

Awaiting at my window

Underneath the star sprinkled sky

Midnight at its finest

The trumpets sang about my sadness

All the reasons my tears fell

All the way down, to the cobble stone streets

But that’s just how the music hits me

Right in the center of my soul

Tender notes and beautiful words

Penetrate my innocence

Reminding me how breakable I actually am

Telling me that no one dares to try

To understand, even see

The reasons why my tender heart bleeds

So I get lost inside the Blues

At night, with the trumpets

I become the Blues

Infinite sensitivity

My own melancholy madness

Music take me away

As my tears fall like rain

Tiny droplets, pieces of me

Cleansing my soul to the sound

Of painful music

As I sit and memorize

What it feels like inside

To be in The House of Blues

Without ever having entered it at all

Life Circles

Posted by jenlefever on April 10, 2013

Life Circles

Then came the day

When I said I had nothing left to say

Sadness had made quite the example out of me

I threw that shit to the door

I took out the trash

I cleaned up my heart

My mind & my soul

To see what was there, underneath all the grey

I finally saw me

I was vibrant again, running around the world

Telling everyone I’m here

To feed them nothing but my joy

The world was again, my shinning paradise

And I was alive to tell

Life takes me in circles

Round the madness like a maze

Taking with me the puzzles & the pain

Every emotion like the storms & the rain

Soaking up my sadness with sand on a beach

Leaving me here, with my lessons to teach

If only one

word to tell

I watch you by

I, identify you

there, in the wake

of my eye

I’ll follow you

until time

is no more

defeated by you

once, you stand

at my door…

I wrote this yesterday… these words came to me, somehow, as I drove down the street… I scribbled them onto a piece of paper, and I’ve been staring at them trying to decipher what they mean… why this chain of words came to me, in the midst of my day… yesterday…
