You may think me a friend From the moment I started But my wonderful gift You just took for granted You wish me away At times of great sorrow Put off from today The things for tomorrow With each passing moment The stronger I get Only when I’m gone Do you start to regret I move past so quickly I’m here and then gone One moment in time That doesn’t last long You look back in anger You start to lament All the time that you s...

Imagine, If you can. A place where you can hide. Safety in anonymity, Rather than, Reveal yourself where you reside. Peace, Sought yet rarely found. Comes in the smallest doses. Like cat’s feet in grass, It comes with nary a sound. Just a click of the door as it closes. Dream, Be it night or day. Details are ever so rare. Sound asleep or wide awake, Failure will always find a way, To turn every dream into a nightmare.

Peace be upon you; And also with me - -- and all within me Imagine being many A pantheon of souls A galaxy born from a stray dream An idle thought turned semen seed and grown Expanding facets of self -- blossomed to full And flowered to flesh of mind Mature in astral attitude Speaking with the retro or futurist swagger And accent of a Time known only to Ancestors -- or descendants from some parallel or tangential Era Imag...

Who is adoring and who is not assuming life is paper mache and death is the final echo, listening to the rainfall. But life is busy, yet, we need more and cannot pass up hope, keeping score. There has to be a reason for a recurring voice and temptations, if not a spoof. When sleepers fail to open their eyes and dreams have come to a demise, who is adoring and who is not, assuming life is paper mache.

They're getting closer Crossed distances together There's something to know. The ground is open It was opened for her space But for others, too. Unforeseen forces The gravity had pulled her They were enjoying. The uncertainties She realized halfway down To crash or be caught? Will she crash in pain Falling in full speed below Or be caught safely? She is falling fast Faster than the speed of light She has to be saved. Velo...

She had enough Vicious words Smell of alcohol Black and blue Cutting deep Gifts of his love Never again Run away Far away Heart in her throat Hands shaking Calm on the horizon She knows Need to love Respect Yourself first Won't look back Under her first Freedoms moon She Inhales With a smile Walk now Head held high Freedom.

Whispering God's, day ago prayers, if I could only touch your face without leaving fingerprints, for death is a naked shadow without layers of clothes, in old photographs, from your body to my mind in life's curiosity and curios, of our love's fancy serendipity when we laughed and cried, singing the alphabet, in the alpines, now soft-spoken in a desk locket

Fading from withered leaves in silence dies the dreams leaving a void, haunting, long past the shadow on the day-old bread but there is no beast beneath the bed, just devils in my head and the Cheshire cat, whispering, strike one from the bones of my past with the chains of sorrow perhaps a guilty tomorrow, clinging to the sermon of a false soulful hour, in my mind's cold abbey listening to the dead it must have been a cl...

I took it too seriously when you told me my feelings were reciprocated. I watched my own feelings intensify more quickly than anticipated. We used each other as band-aids, a safe and gentle fix Turned to each other for affection and comfort in moments of conflict. And then it had to stop, it had to shift direction. We had to redefine how we’d been participating in emotional protection. It seems you’ve moved on more quickl...

As I reminisce about our past together, I am reminded of all the times you kept me full And how the door to your heart only required a pull How I fooled myself into a forever Your voice; once a melody, Devolved into cryptic morse code The tepidness of your affections, I could not remedy And that is where my passion slowed My love, I saw how hard you tried, To reheat a love that had died But it is now where I need you to b...

Under raspberry Sun. We fed on, Olives from Iklaina. Tasting sweet honey. On full lips. Waves crash Under the Blue Moon. Secrets whispered. Promises made. Bonfires flame. Bullroares sing. Clapsticks wail. Stolen kiss. Then returned. Can honey, Be any sweeter.

Why do I long to hear the sound of your sweet voice, See your ever-loving image before my eyes, The smell of your heavenly fragrant And the feel of your touch? Why… Because you saw me. You saw me when I was invisible Trying to hide from the world. You saw me for who I am, What I have to offer When no one else could. You saw me when I was invisible. I see in your eyes things I long to hear, My body quivers with anticipatio...

New budding flowers are poking through the earth Cottonwoods are irritating my allergies The sky is a brilliant, bright blue Fluffy white clouds Warm sunlight on a glistening river Summer just around the corner. An awards show and pictures and proud smiles and excitement - Summer break just around the corner. Laughter turned to terror As the gunman came around the corner.

I thought you were the one. The one who would love me And take care of my heart. Love denied once again. I still feel the pain, hurt, and suffering From past and present relationships. Where time and time and time again I exposed my mind, my heart, my soul… Only to feel the cold steel dagger From an unaffectionate lover, that wears a façade Laced with poison dreams and romance That is meant to kill the rose before it bloo...
