A Woman's Plight, In Dreams, Male Bonding

Holding Space

Candid Corvid Productions

She always retracted when he came into a room.

He thought that meant she didn’t like him.

But it was because she was so attracted.

It was complicated.

She didn’t want to harm or alter him or his course in any way.

She respected and yet needed him too much.

She would require him to include her in everything.

She couldn’t hold her love back with any measure of balance – and feared its affect upon him.

A Return To Innocence, In Dreams, Reclamation

When You Give

Candid Corvid Productions

Curtains are drawn as lights go down
No one else will hear a single sound
Unless we want them to

I touch your face as fingers trace
Tenderly kissing we now embrace
Joy releases our need to confiding

Free to share our secrets in the dark
How I’ve longed to feel your beating heart!
And all the world is quieting

Making space for our colliding
In a union that fate’s providing

Our souls lifted as flying
I’m yours in every breath

A Return To Innocence, In Dreams, Where Demons Tread

Birds Of A Feather (Dear Friend,)

Candid Corvid Productions

I see you ever-awakening
When falling back get up

I see you ever-evolving
Finding after losing self

Over and over I witness
Refashioning reclaiming

My past loves’ glimpses
Always fell asleep again

Resenting as resisting my
Pleading then demanding

For their remembering
To my detriment’s ends

It feels like succumbing to
Getting pulled into Maw’s

Relentless tractor beams’
Only recourse after death

Losing who I was before
And always wanted to be

Will you remember me if
We get swallowed whole?

Would you reach for me
However far I would go?

Dive in after me so deep
We’d reemerge elsewhere

Maybe not as who we were
But able to become more?

Would you remember
So that I could forget

As share eased vigilance’s
Soothing by salted sweat?

I need to give up this fight
Yet afraid I’ll lose identity

Negative reinforcements
Need program rootkitting

Inability to trust the process
Creates a faze-like madness

Would you be the one
I could ever rely upon

Just as I would provide for
Your needs in any weather?

Could we own and redefine
What it means to be together?

A Return To Innocence, In Dreams

Dancing Forever

Candid Corvid Productions

It’s complicated
Yet also simple

About timing
And rhythms

Giving
Taking

Risking
Claiming

Reaching for
Identifying

When caution
Is retracting

Pushing past
Barriers yet

Respecting
Fragilities

Protecting
As guiding

Leading as
Following

Gliding
Colliding

Momentum
And slowing

Casting off
As growing

What’s known
New learning

Intertwining
For owning

Expansion’s
Propagation

Through
Seasons

Ebbing
Flowing
