Fighting Air

Always knew we'd be fighting air
Not really seen but always there
The soft breeze blows through my hair
But blinds my eyes, not playing fair.

Dear air, I know you're there
I know you tease me, not to despair
Living in this space we share
We both know our worlds don't tear. 

Oh air, I know you've always been there
It's no place of mine to compare
You've lived a lifetime, oh no I don't dare
I'm hardly even worse for wear.

Let's leave this at this, if you care
I'm struggling, braving against your gale affair
These clinging constrictions I have to pare
Leave me like this, I'll see how I fare.

Mine

For once,
Words fail me
Control loses hold
These eyes clearly see,
And warmth replaces cold.
For once,
This heart belongs
It skips beats and trips
Rises up and aloud sing songs
And rushes at the touch of his lips.
For once,
I don't dream and sigh
I'm complete even when alone
I don't try to live a lie
Because with him I'm at home.
And for once, my love
These unjust words don't flow from line to line
No reason in the rhyme, save for the happiness that you are mine.

Longing

You ache too great

Too much quiver and quake
Fear not, dear, just wait
It'll come yet, not too late.

Beat slow, heart, slowly
Let not your eyes green in envy
In this game we do not race
We walk, we run, we go our pace.

Wait, love, let patience reign
Do not take heart, nor fall in disdain
For some it's closer and some in a distance
No fortune just falls in random happenstance.

Dear soul, don't weep in longing
This gap will be filled with no more wanting
Just let it be, let it run its course
All in good time, for good things aren't forced.

Written as a reminder to myself to be patient. All in good time, all in good time.
