The Rain and I

Impatient clouds rush across the sky,
Late for an appointment only they know.

Lightning and thunder,
Dance their timeless waltz.

Large raindrops fall to the ground;
A chorus for all to witness.

I realize that Nature
Keeps its own company.

Where is mine?

2 Candles

2 Candles sit side by side.

Each dances to its own music,
Yet together they light a room.

Snuffed at any moment,
The elements threaten flame.

Side by side 2 candles stay lit,
For one can light the other.

The Coma

Through Blurry eyes, I see my surroundings:

A washbasin full of blood...
(I assume is mine)
Marks on the floor...
(Did I fall out of bed?)

Nearly spent candles on the nightstand
Mocked my confusion

I try to remember how long it's been...
My dreams are full of crowded places,
I felt extremly alone.

As my head clears I realize the truth.
The blood wasn't mine, it was yours.
I did not fall out of bed... you knelt beside me.
Candles lit your nightly vigil.

Let me never lay my head to pillow,
Without your love on my mind.
Let slumber only come ,
with your praise on my lips.
