My Heart

What makes sense?
Nothing makes sense, in a way.
Like many, I sift, process, sort. Matching what I knew and believed with all my heart, against the stark facts of reality shown me.
Against my Heart.
My heart against my Heart?
No, not against the heart I knew and which had lead me all my life. Not the one that [...]

One of a Kind

In my own time
I may find
A broken heart
Becomes then one
Of a kind
 
In a heartbeat
Things can change
Then everything
Once close has gone
It’s own way
 
In your own time
You had to see
It isn’t always easy
But no one said
It would be
 
For what it’s worth
Time will tell
I understand
No water draws
From empty wells

My Frankenstein

 
Picked up pieces found of me
Scattered shattered personality
Spare parts tatters
Who wants them now?
 
I wonder where they go
And how they fit
I wonder what they’ll think of it
Wonder if they’ll hunt it down
 
I brought the dead alive
Electrified what can’t survive
I gave the juice to it
Injected just a little bit
 
Enigma mine
My Frankenstein
Sewn up so unsightly
Heart
Stitched and seamed
And full [...]

My Muse Departed

My Muse departed
On a desert highway
Glimpsed briefly through a watery wavy wall
Just before I hit the brakes
Just before I let go
 
It might have been two hours
Maybe more
Broken
I sat tearing from me
My heart in shards
Cell phones in my hands
Shrieking crying beseeching God
Why?
 
I departed
On a desert highway
I was glimpsed briefly through a wavy wintry wall
Just [...]

Forgive Me

Forgive me
My truth
My integrity
My backbone
 
Forgive me
For standing
Not laying down
For rising
And not giving up
 
Release me
I will fly
And crawl no more
Please
 
Forgive
My strength
My spirit
My surviving

So Lovely

It’s so lovely out tonight
Hills soft silhouette
On soft bright sky
Stars are shining
The moon is wild
Warm wind croons
It’s velvet sigh
 
I’m so lonely out tonight
I know I could be somewhere
If I just had the heart
I still see the cool clear fire
Of your eyes
I can see the promise
In your smile
 
And if I’m quiet
When stars fall from [...]

Shelter

Could you shelter me this time?
Keep me from the cold?
Would you lend some tenderness
To pull around my soul?
 
Is there room for me inside you?
Could you spare some of your warmth?
Would you hold me in your heart?
Still wrapped around my own?
 
Soothe me with your voice you’ve found
Whisper into me
All your secret knowings
All your mysteries
 
Keep me where I’ll [...]

Amber Blue and Green

 
Although you’ll never know
What thoughts I held for you
You could not miss the way
I held myself so close
And yet so distant
And still we looked right through
 
Amber blue and green
They looked straight into me
What were they thinking?
 
I can hear you breathing
And feel the swallow in your throat
I can hear the beating of your heart
In time with [...]

Sanctuary in Your Arms

Sanctuary in your arms
The place I’ve longed to be
Refuge I’ve been dying for
I find myself received
 
Sanctuary in your arms
I never would believe
A hunger that has always been
Has finally been relieved
 
Restless heart has always been
The lonesome guide in me
Now I find I’m home again
I never want to leave

SHY

Underneath a velvet sky
Walking on a moonless night
I watch the stars
So near, so far
Walking side by side
 
Taking in the harbor lights
Reminds me of another life
You reach for me
We all need
To just hold on sometimes
 
Looking in your quiet eyes
A world I’m lost in for a while
Bright and dark
A waiting spark
I feel my own eyes shy
 
Taking in [...]
