Intruder

My head was a siren
and my heart cried "Hurt!"
repeating the warning
"Intruder alert!"

Acrostic Goodbye

Anti-altruistic formed words
Created by your silence
Released into my sadness
Over wires, time and space
Splintered tears by madness
That seem to linger longer
Inviting fears and nightmares
Cadence of sorrow's steps
Greedy nonchalant survival
Omnipotent in your battle
On grounds I cannot retreat
During this brief farewell:
Beneath the stars you took me, then
You asked for our love to
End

Across

Insignificant drought of
Denial and apathy
Over walking on a bridge
Near dangerous falls
Take me far beyond
Crayola bright city lights
Across from antique
Retired, restless thoughts
Enter my conscience
Anything with reason goes
Tell yourself to be neutral
And simply
Let this agile love
Literally decompose

Missing You

Mother without her child
Igloo without her eskimo
Sheep without her flock
Spider without her web
Ice without her water
Nest without her bird
Garden without her blooms
Yellow without her blue
Orange without her peel
Umbrella, broken without her rain
This is how I feel

Sarah

Soothing, sultry voice from where
A rain drop, and a tear linger
Resounding melodies within
A priceless soul I call my friend;
Happiness is her garden

Forever

Foreshadowed timeline
Opens dreams made of
Rare and precious hope
Enlightened faith, and
Victory over a possible
End to our
Redundant doubts

Kim

Kindred spirit to my
Inner turmoil and
Mental tightrope

Numb

Narcotize my nerve
Unresponsive to your undermined
Muffled, mixed up, mystified
Blunt, blind blur

Lonely

Lights burn across my city
Only to send reminders
No one to curl into
Everyone now asleep
Lights dim across your city --
You are miles away from me

Doubt

Did I say too much?
Or was my timing poor?
Under this fast approaching
Burning uncertainty
Tricks linger at my mind's door

Goodbye

Gently whisper farewell
Or say nothing at all
On this dreary day
Dandelions wilting
Bring me further from
Your promise to stay for
Eternity

Silk

Sensual satin touches
Intertwined ribbons of desire
Lightly surrounding my passion
Kissing my lover's lips
