Telling my troubles to the horses head on the wall.

connection

your blue eyes
are as distant
as your voice
on the phone
barely a whisper
your breath
in my ear
thoughts
that can't escape
your mouth or mind

longingly
craving a connection
the static between us
breaks down the line

Paths

you light my heart up
make my face beam 
trip up my breath in my throat
leave me dizzy with anticipation.

Yet, I feel your fear
like a knife at my heart
and I am wounded
afraid that you will cut me open
spill my insides to the ground. 

Around you my mind whirs
I am running and look to see you beside me
we are climbing through a jungle of ideas
finding meadows of contentment 
rolling in the grass of our thoughts

but judgements come 
like storm clouds
obscuring the sun 
controlling the progression of our day
as the path darkens before us

lighting torches to find a new way
my mind is a swirl of contradiction
shall I continue on this path with you
or blow this fire out?
