No Title~ Rebekah

in the darkest night
you are my shield
holding me up
when i seek to yield
my love for others
weighs heavy on my heart
but i cannot give up
i will not tear this family apart
so pull my closer
as i start to fall
whisper in my ear
together
we are
stronger
than
it
all

Word and Reel by Rion

It’s a bright and sunny day
I’m standing in a stream
Gripping on my fishing pole
Hoping to catch a dream
My mind is buzzing
Its hot as fire
And with each adjective
I’m filled with desire
The fish start jumping
And I catch a few
One was a great big whopper
The other only an inch or two
So I tossed the little buggar
Letting him swim anew
And then the words startd flying
Up and out the water
Dropping my pole and gear
Reaching for my net
Just hoping to hear
Little by little
Thoughts begin to form
Soon I am raging
Wishing you were here

Photographic Mind

Even if every blink of my lashes
Was a click of my shutter
I could not capture the world around me
Any more than you can
Hope to hold a snowflake in your hand
With every step I discover
A new universe
And within that universe
A million stars

Sometimes you can’t slow time
You can’t get that perfect picture
Of the couple in the rain
Or the shot of the senior’s smile
On their graduation day
But you can take a thousand
Almost perfect pictures
And to those who were there
It’s enough to start a spark
To fan the flame of a memory they
Had almost forgotten
It’s enough to make them smile
At the thought of that perfect memory

So maybe my job as a photographer
Isn’t to take the perfect shot
And win lots of awards
Maybe my job is to be a post-it note
To those around me
To help then remember
Chapters, pages, pieces of their life
That are shoved in the back corners
Of their mind

Perhaps I am trying to collect
As much of them as I can
Because if you collect enough pieces
Of enough people
Maybe you eventually find you
Scattered amongst their strange remnants
Maybe in the ruins of there discarded things
You find yourself.

Yesterday was haunted
By memories of my past
And though today was difficult
You should know, I will never go back
IF i could write to you a letter
Explaining the depth of my love
I would need a mirror instead of paper
And a pen that wrote with blood
For even in my dreams
When i feel myself growing weak
You come to me with armies
Friends made from the elite
In life i have found no one
That cares the way you do
TO die for someone is noble
But to live for love...
Is something completely new

I know how to hurt
How to be tough and strong
To sacrifice and bleed
So that the other may go on
But to love someone so much
That you love yourself too
To bring life where ever you go
Is something i must learn to do

Your mouth speaks life
So press it to my neck
Feel with your lips
The scars others left behind
Bite me a new
Erase them from my life
Make love to me
With passion
And i will hold nothing inside
Come to me my Angel
I'm ready to be alive.
