gatekeeper

                     This used to be a feeling of love

Now it’s just sadly in reverse.

So now I’m gonna put it to memory

And to picture

And find what it was.

I’m gonna put it away

till the one with the key comes back

                                                                 Gatekeeper

gatekeeper/fire starter                  

                    You keep threatening to lose the key

That you’re forcefully forgetting

Setting fire to the box I put the albums

And thoughts away in

Burning bridges to places

I wanted to return to

When the grass became green again.

Little passion fighter

                                       Fire starter

fire starter/place keeper

                    Lighting the house

And burning it down

I can’t find my way back to it

I’m lost in the trees.

You uprooted sign posts

And changed all the paths.

I tried learning new ways back

But now there’s only one

                                             Place keeper

place Keeper/explorer

                     Bookmarked and chaptered

And lost to a fire and in woods

Now I create more

And keep rekindling fires

With bits and string of passion.

I don’t mind

It’s keeping me warm and busy

While I carry it like a torch through the woods

Searching like you

                                  Explorer

explorer

                        Don’t run and hide

Like you’ve done.

I’m not searching for you

I have my own exploring to do

And the deep caves echo of you

But I’m going deeper within

And finding things always there

And foundations stronger than rock.
