Shadow-Myst

You used to make my heart soar Above the trees, rivers, lakes, fields – I felt as if I’d fly forever Beyond the moon, to the stars and away, Happy To lose myself in one another. “Nothing lasts forever,” Something we all know But are all too eager to forget – There’s nothing I regret Except holding on too tightly When it was time to drift back to earth, And tearing down the sky with me As I fell. Please forgive me for what I've done, The beauty you've given me now shattered At our feet. Finally I have enough sense to simply leave the shards, To cast beautiful reflections Of a beautiful oblivion. Kelcy Ke

A rush of sound, quick gasp – Silence- Words that cannot be taken back. Thinking, processing, trying to understand Or at least Accept – Can’t shake the feeling yet. Enough is enough But I am never enough, And you and your ephemeral love Erode all of what’s left Of me. You did once, I did once, But only once – Why is it words, feelings, despairsorrowangerpaindesolation Overstay their welcome, And root themselves deep in the nooks of dreams And unattended thoughts, While love- Sweet, fluttering, gentle and fragile-   Falls dead to first frost, Once had Then forever lost Kelcy Kent 1/21/14

I want to lose myself for good Forget everything I thought I knew And regret nothing in the end When I know it's all led me Right here to you. I want to cast it all aside, Every fear, all my pride, I want to look up to the stars And not feel terrified of feeling Alone. I want to just kick off my shoes And run, Run past all my past And future, I want to leave it all behind, And be happy with not knowing Where I'm going. I want to wake up somewhere new, Somewhere far away from you, Far away so I can say I still Feel you next to me after all. I want to be everything and nothing And all for naught in you, I want to break a

Every touch Is like a whisper across my skin, Travelling down my spine, Reaching to every nerve, every tip Of my body— I never knew a feeling to be so loud, So loud as to fill every centimeter of my being With nothing but your noise— I hear you smell you feel you breathe you— You are every night sky And every morning rise And all the passing time in between— Overwhelmed, I can only fall Into you, And you into me.

What soft hands That dip down into my soul And cup ever so gently, Scooping it out, Only to cradle it ever so tenderly. What soft lips That dangle such stingingly sweet words And coax my fortress into crumbling At light feet That drift beyond my conscience And rise into the darkest depths of my desires. Eyes that drain mine Of every inch that I own, It's all yours— —ours— Now. Warm breath murmurs Into the tangle of my hair: Fall with me, Falling together, you and I We will float As one. KK 5/9/2012

I love how when you hold me It's like you've never felt the warmth Of someone else before— You cling, afraid if you let go, It'll seep out of your arms. And I love how you look at me Like you've never really seen anyone before, And I can look back Unabashed by your wonder. Darling I've never had goose bumps till Your rough fingertips whispered across my skin, And darling I've never felt weak before Like I do with the murmur of your kiss. And if I had a moment, Nothing but a moment, I'd spend it lying by your side, And I'd watch the world around us Crash and burn upon us, And still you'd be the only thing Worthwhile

Hands reach out next to me You're not here tonight Warming the spot by my side And it feels empty, It's never felt so empty. I don't know why I did What I did And how now to fix it But I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it. I wish you'd come back And lay with me here Tonight And warm the spot next to me— It feels so empty, It's never felt this empty. KK 3.12.2012
