Hindsight

Pain lives deep within
Hindsight a deceiving cure
Dreams are missing years

Lips

We are breathtaking
they silently warn
bright, bold and beautiful
watch us move
verbs become art
as we part to let
each causal word slip through
Who is this person?
Sweet confidence she breathes!
We complement her sparkling eyes
and add some mystery
She speaks the words clearly
through her perfectly lined
pimento red lips
but her sounds are lost
upon your ears
Because all you want
is one, deep, passionate
neverending kiss...

Life and Time

Life in slow motion
Tomorrow comes before me
Without time to heal

Forever

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

Coward

You never cared enough
at the end of us 
to ask or answer
it was not about love
You never knew
it bled my heart dry
to hear complete silence
a cowardly goodbye
Your rhyming whispers
when saying my name
were only a part
of your twisted game
The warmth of the womb
that birthed your second soul
will freeze again
growing painfully cold
Hopes of happiness
that you spun in your dream
will abruptly end
as you live your life without me

Sherbet Sky

Deep inside of you, I enter the storm
I shudder and freeze -- bathed in ice cold rain
Drowning in waters I attempt to calm,
Aware they are impossible to tame.
Deep inside of me, you find a new hope
Born of our realistic memories;
Old feelings are threads to create more rope;
We choke, eliminate all miseries!
Perhaps it was the fading sherbet sky,
Cradling my childish fears to sleep.
Or did some innocent lavender high
Mixed with pink bubblegum prompt me to speak?
Deep inside of you I release the past;
A sweetened, shuddered sigh just brought me back

Surviving

I feel you somewhere in the muted sky
Your eyes are the blue releasing the rain
Your baby sleeps silently by my side
I inhale a sigh to exhale the pain
Surviving somewhere where the lights are dim
Perhaps pacing in a room missing direction
I feel your mouth twist in a downward grin
As you cast a side glance to your pale reflection
Your mind screams focus! Your strong will obeys
Muffling the sounds your heart tries to speak
Stumbling over distant words in the way
Such interference will make you weak
But the sky remains calm in the east tonight
As our baby breathes in your lullaby
