A softest voice
from somewhere within
my sleep bringing dreams
Perhaps it's my conscience
when smiling upon
a different day
or finding a penny
shined and cleaned
Umbrella for your thoughts
he asks
sun catching rays
of a lighter memory
my fingers wrapping
silk brown threads of summer
in circling motions of
intentional bliss
Just waiting for a kiss
she thinks sadly
Just waiting for the kiss
And the lips
hiding somewhere closeby
tremble and sigh
A new troubled desire
flickers on and off
like the lightswitch
on the invisible wall
Walk out into the world
he begins
But her steps
twice as cautious
three times as swift
Four times ahead...
have taken her further
than the world will allow...
Balance
she urges
trying to float
upon the notes
in one Last Song
plunging over the falls
swimming to escape
the rough peaks of water
Her left hand reaches up
high above her heart
and her right arm
remains numb at her side
Is she desperately
needing to be rescued
or is she simply trying
to fly home

Intentional Typo
The son
not rising as high
as the moon's complement
Time giving into life
for the importance
of a simple thought
There is always a way
at the quiet of day into night
Will you find it
not rising as high
as the moon's complement
Time giving into life
for the importance
of a simple thought
There is always a way
at the quiet of day into night
Will you find it
Looking At The Clouds
Lying in a pool of clouds
sickened at the thoughts
The irrevocable sights and sounds -
Sharp and pentetrating
deadened grasses beneath me
at the priceless cost
of tearing my silent soul
Will I forever be lost...
Cold and tired
of lies and schemes
My tears like nails
piercing his skin
I lay down my burden
for a restless dream
partnered with such emptiness
or so it seems...
Speaking from a voice
that does not hold truth
curbing my tongue aside
To withhold the stranger
a memory in dillusion
inside of my thoughts
Dismissing his tainted pride
upon some darkened night...
Life drizzles lonliness
patterned from random devotion
and embarrassment will reign
when the ukempt passion ignites
the fiery tree top sways
while smoldering ashes remain
until cleansed by the rain...
and if so...
When does the grass
become green again
sickened at the thoughts
The irrevocable sights and sounds -
Sharp and pentetrating
deadened grasses beneath me
at the priceless cost
of tearing my silent soul
Will I forever be lost...
Cold and tired
of lies and schemes
My tears like nails
piercing his skin
I lay down my burden
for a restless dream
partnered with such emptiness
or so it seems...
Speaking from a voice
that does not hold truth
curbing my tongue aside
To withhold the stranger
a memory in dillusion
inside of my thoughts
Dismissing his tainted pride
upon some darkened night...
Life drizzles lonliness
patterned from random devotion
and embarrassment will reign
when the ukempt passion ignites
the fiery tree top sways
while smoldering ashes remain
until cleansed by the rain...
and if so...
When does the grass
become green again
Slight Memory
Quietly packing the suitcase
she looks over at the sleeping smiles
where will the miles take her
Far away from here
with hope as her guide
and strength as her shelter
She notices a slip of paper
inconspicuously hanging out of a drawer
scrawled in red
unfamiliar handwriting
thinking of you...
Seems so long ago
that she dotted her i's
with such meticulous care
she looks over at the sleeping smiles
where will the miles take her
Far away from here
with hope as her guide
and strength as her shelter
She notices a slip of paper
inconspicuously hanging out of a drawer
scrawled in red
unfamiliar handwriting
thinking of you...
Seems so long ago
that she dotted her i's
with such meticulous care
Finding You Home
Will his arms
so strong
protective
comforting
embrace me?
My weakness
surrendering
willingly
confidently
lovingly...
to the feeling of
finally being home
found deep within
the power of his
passionate kiss...
I dream of this
so strong
protective
comforting
embrace me?
My weakness
surrendering
willingly
confidently
lovingly...
to the feeling of
finally being home
found deep within
the power of his
passionate kiss...
I dream of this
Runner's Mind
She runs faster and farther
than her mind will allow
stationary though
where will she go?
Escaping the moment
like the sweat trickling down
her flushed cheek
Stubborn conscience absorbing
each thought
creeping into her
stoic smile
Barred teeth
ready for the kill
prepare for the storm
she thinks to herself
Rain can be so relentless
when the tears start to fall...
Feet pound the pavement
she watches the cars
speeding past her
Caught up in your morning rush
are you really that focused?
Too busy to stop for a wave
eventually the crash becomes
the saving grace...
What's happened
to the smallest voice
that lived inside
the runner's mind
She shakes her head
and wipes the moisture -
never a tear
from her face
Shielding her eyes
from an unforgiving sun
The road ahead looks rocky
twists and turns
mock her ability
to overcome impossibilty
Sneering brambles
Glaring dead ends
behind the prize --
only an uphill stride
Grey skies loom
But gritting her courage
biting her lip
anxiously awaiting
the challenge...
uphill stride
her thoughts echo
uphill stride...
uphill stride...
clenching her fists
taking the first step
setting rythm and pace
uphill stride...
uphill stride...
all the way...
just the way I like it
than her mind will allow
stationary though
where will she go?
Escaping the moment
like the sweat trickling down
her flushed cheek
Stubborn conscience absorbing
each thought
creeping into her
stoic smile

The Difference
He looked down at his fingers
the ones that had...
He pretended not to think
as she attempted to speak
Intent upon a slight hangnail
disturbing his perfect hands
He gently pulled at it
"It's going to leave a jagged edge"
he thought to himself
only half listening to her silent heart
breaking in the reflection
of the car window
He could see the silhouette
the faintly mirrored outline of the tree
the same tree they had...
He shuddered to think
"Seems taller now, doesn't it?"
her voice broke
Shifting his aimless thoughts
he noticed still
even after making up his mind
she touched the depths of his soul
with a word
She could be saying nothing at all
and he would still feel her
lips forming letters upon his heart
words playing songs into his mind
laughter like rain on a summer day
Her smile could be the sun
on an eclipsed world...
"Not trying to change you"
she cautiously continued
interrupting his melting resignation
"asking you for anything other than -"
her breath caught up to her
Their eyes met
They both knew
and wanted to run back
into each other's arms
Forget the struggle
it's worth it
Ignore the doubts
they can be overcome
He cleared his throat
a gruff, hurried sound
she did not recognize it as
his turning point of deciding to stay
with her
in her arms
inside of her heart
where he belonged
"Nevermind" she thought aloud
"it's no use when someone
runs so far just to be away from me.."
You're only making it worse
"let him hurt you"
her thoughts betrayed her
There was an unbelievable edge
to her usual soft voice
"Protection" she defended
Sacred ground when crushing
my tender heart
The one that he had...
She trembled to think
Leaving him with a kiss
just above his brow
She rememered his words
I could do it again
I did it before
And he was right
The difference
she thought to herself
as she bit her lip into silence
is that I would never want to
before
again
or after
So why would you
He watched her walk away
step after step she fell
a little further in sadness
He could taste the tears
she tried to hide
Her confused mind
and aching soul
wanted to drop to the ground
The same ground we had...
she looked around
through watery vision
fresh grass
scent of cherry blossoms
whisperered promises
delicate touches
kisses like...
She struggled to forget
but would never
He watched it all
and felt it so deeply
Wanting to run
after his only love
bring her back
and never let her go
He cleared his throat
leaned on his pride
surrendered to his doubts
and began to walk
then run
away from her
the ones that had...
