Gordian's Knot

We are a Gordian's knot

Bound so tightly

I cannot find

Where you end

And I begin

The Last Straw

The Last Straw Sometimes we break We fall apart And shatter to pieces The burdens we carry Become too much to bear And like that poor camel With the broken back Sometimes it is the smallest thing That causes us To crack under pressure An unkind word A forgotten task A single piece of straw That one thing We didn’t expect That pushes us past the brink And we come undone But falling apart is ok Because now we’ve found The breaking point
When enough is enough And maybe next time We won’t let it go so far Before we say This is the last straw

Island in the Dark

Island in the Dark Night is the time for lovers, for loss, for longing,
Love spent blissfully beside an ocean of tears.
Darkness holds opportunity in its hands,
A gift it gives, to those willing to close their eyes.
It is forever and now at once,
All the time that is ever needed.
To sleep, to dream, to wake, to find each other again,
A black island, within a blue sea.
