The Innisfree In Me

do I live alone in the bee-loud glade?
wrestling with words in exchange for peace
dominion of phrases that yearn to speak
volumes of a life spent sojourn, discreet

awaken old friend, do you truly see me?
adventuresome along the Isle of Innisfree
to contemplate thoughts among the waves within me-
i have found much solace in words completely

old and gentle soul, you really send me
treasures of worlds that i could only see
distant - from a place deep within a memory
that you recalled when young and Innisfree




Unquenchable

The journey is long
and I am thirsty for you
parched for the sweetest
water that pools at my feet

I kneel for a cool sip
and quietly drink you in
desiring the unquenchable
tasting what belongs only to us

This is what I have come for
a distance of many miles closing
between us and we are lost in each other
flagrantly foolish yet always wise

The journey is long
and I am so thirsty for you
come, let us have a drink
