Inspiration

Immeasurable
             though wanting so badly to be defined

Does definition ever really help a thing
             or is it the act of being refined
suddenly less than what it had been all this time?
             This page was once porcelain potential
                           poised for possibilities

             now it is scarred
permanently not a million other things
Defined
             measured
                           caged

             How many worlds
                           we turn to ash
to fill a blank page.

Austin

I need no light to feel your shadow
surely in light it is well defined
but in darkness you are all around me;
I see you better than I see myself

Moments alone with you are savored;
only then can I truly disrobe
shed the skin that I wear throughout the day
and bring to bare the self kept at bay.

I want more for you than I can give
to provide a life fit to live
rather than a long list of tasks
we complete because we are living
to that end I offer my love
it’s ups and downs and subtle motions
the strange and twisting contortions
and the oft abstract expectations,
the unflinching courage to seek this life’s end
with you – my love, my inspiration, my best friend.
