today marks a new year
beginnings
 bright
future gleaming
awaiting only to be born
promises held
with the dawning of each day
hopes clear
heart's rejoice in the being
celebrations of the new
Two! Blazing their Love!
their world
only Two
no need for more
only Each the other
warmed intwined souls
aching for the embrace of words
the comfort in the silence
old together many times

Happiness...
dims...

today begins the finish
to loves soft glow
endings
embers die
chilled to the bone
struggling to survive
forgotten..alone
promises broken
faith wanes
comfort only in glorious fantasy
yet knowing
dreading
as the dance nears it close
hearts wither and cry
struggle to be heard
encircle the pain
embrace the shattered dreams
hope slowly slips away
