OMEN
You sit high on your horse listening, sneering, judging-everyting SHE hates
You climb down, chest puffed out
thumping-here am i, here sits he who captured-tamed, restrained SHE who claims NEVER to bow, to break, to bend-be contained
SHE (while you high-five, shuck-and-jive)is beginning to shake, to rock, to quake
SHE is nearing her breaking point boy don't you know?
SHE will smash the very jar in which you have so neatly tucked HER away
Oh my this is the wild child that sets fires to bridges-while standing, planted firmly in the middle laughing with maniacal glee-dancing with the fire to some unknown, unheard melody playing in HER chaotic, cluttered mind
Back up boy! Give her the room you said she could have to breathe! HER wings are dying the tips wilting
HER horns are growing-HER heart hardening
Are you blind man? Can you not see?
SHE is a horrible, destructive force of nature when pushed too far lad!
SHE always feels shame at the end-the aftermath
But HER fury during the cataclysmic happening-knows no limits-no bounds
A tsunami is coming!
You better take cover! Quick as lightening you'd better be running
You climb down, chest puffed out
thumping-here am i, here sits he who captured-tamed, restrained SHE who claims NEVER to bow, to break, to bend-be contained
SHE (while you high-five, shuck-and-jive)is beginning to shake, to rock, to quake
SHE is nearing her breaking point boy don't you know?
SHE will smash the very jar in which you have so neatly tucked HER away
Oh my this is the wild child that sets fires to bridges-while standing, planted firmly in the middle laughing with maniacal glee-dancing with the fire to some unknown, unheard melody playing in HER chaotic, cluttered mind
Back up boy! Give her the room you said she could have to breathe! HER wings are dying the tips wilting
HER horns are growing-HER heart hardening
Are you blind man? Can you not see?
SHE is a horrible, destructive force of nature when pushed too far lad!
SHE always feels shame at the end-the aftermath
But HER fury during the cataclysmic happening-knows no limits-no bounds
A tsunami is coming!
You better take cover! Quick as lightening you'd better be running

Literature was the original anonymous writing platform. Words are crafted to speak deep truths while hiding the same. Kings are taunted and unrequited romantic requests were sent. “When You’re the One” is a cheeky celebration of the latter.
When You’re the One
If you wonder if you're the one
spoke in prose, endearment’s choice
or wrapped in wonder at life's travails
perhaps you are, consider this
I'll broach not names as I relate
my life unwoven in stanza's breath
put to page so it may lay
away from breast where my heart prays.
Love and lost have been quick themes
along with longing for distant things
a pity as near as you’re to me
yet far too distant to speak with glee
in this space I wrote the poems
echoed feelings from the heart
putting tags on the “you”
by scrape of pen and move of quill.
No gender pronouns shall be used
to soon exclude half of the room
when the all world is my fair game
for vain attentions I've exclaimed
the only clue is three letters long
the reader asks how to respond
when their name may have same length
while pronouns mask my true intent.
If the "you" was held to heart
whispered not in black and white
they'd never know of my resolve
this burden carried by the one
this subterfuge is not to taunt
or tease the one that resonates
with stanzas borne on sorrow's pen
cast outside so I may heal.
Out there in breadth of wide world
my truest target knows the mark
as I aim straight at their heart
my words discrete in camouflage
whilst all around the others puzzle
at this dance between the couple
seen in silhouette of words
consummating never more.
In this crowd I sought safety
pleaded for anonymity
with a nod it was given
on the face that knew the truth
my words are wrapped in thinnest gauze
meant to shade the piercing sun
if your wit is half as bright
I'll not hide in plain sight.
My subterfuge is made deeper
by choice of photo to include
with the stanzas made up of verse
focused on the one obscured
this I regret with much love
as I have ranted to gods above
never asking that prayers be heard
only that the burden may be dropped.
In the end the game is up
the clues are found one at a time
like bread crumbs through fairy glen
leading you to the me
have you discovered you're the one
to which I've so long abused
through word of poem on many days
spouting forth "I love you"?

Unreturned Love
Love that cannot be returned
Like an unopened wrapped gift.
I thought that I would have learned
My lesson by now. Let me drift
Off into the other lane of traffic all
Because you did nothing to lift
Me up when I hit the hard wall
Head on. Love me, that is the only
Thing I could ever want as I fall
Hard for you. I want to feel less lonely
In this world that is going ahead.
I am just nothing but a boney
Mess as we all wait for the red
Light to turn green. Nobody can wait
Forever as we wait for love from our bed.
I am only just an unlatched gate
Waiting to be opened. When you finally
Decide to love me back it will be too late.

damaged, broken, busted
You dont posses the power within you to hold, to melt, to mold all the small pieces of my soul
To fix all of the stuff, piece together all of the "extra parts", the junk
Quiet the monsters, silence the demons, smother the pain, the hurt, the anger, the rage-that burns hotter than the fires of hell which hath no fury like mine
All the small pieces that glitter and sparkle; the sharp edges prick my fingers and lay open my hands as I struggle to gather them up and clutch them to my chest like treasure-like gold
Get back!
Get away!
Don't touch them they are mine!
I am them!
They are me!
Embracing my achingly beautiful stones in my bleeding hands I turn and face the abyss that I call home
I have no fear-no regrets
All the small pieces are mine
My confidants, my traveling companions
As shattered and haunted I turn into the madness I am forever doomed to roam
Knowing you will not follow me for you haven't the stones; you have not the strength to weather this unstoppable, immovable object
Me being this fiercum beast, a most frighteningly, chaotic beast
A sad freak of nature, a twisted, massive, dark cloud of doom
It is I who will stand lonely, lost and alone
The hurricane, the wayward wandering gypsy, a tsunami
The storm
To fix all of the stuff, piece together all of the "extra parts", the junk

Unrequited
The perfect love is the one that is not returned
It remains pure in the heart
And a perfect lust is always profoundly burned
Kept in secret from the start
It’s the deep emotion that forever goes untold
A flawless image in the mind
The yearning and the longing will not grow old
And never returned in kind
The perfect love is the one that is not returned
It remains pure in the heart
And a perfect lust is always profoundly burned
Kept in secret from the start
It’s the deep emotion that forever goes untold
A flawless image in the mind
The yearning and the longing will not grow old
And never returned in kind

Mine Forever
What makes me want her so bad
Maybe I'm blind
But so is she... Now
She doesn't even try to see me
She just lays there and ignores me
It's like I'm not even here
I KNOW WHAT WE DID
Stop reminding me
I can't even look at her
Without remembering the times
not so long ago
When air still filtered through her lungs
Feeding her still beating heart
God she's so beautiful
I just want to hold her
Now she's mine forever
The voices told me so...

Faded
Yesterday seems a million miles away
Can’t erase our last embrace I miss you
Don’t cry I just drown all the pain inside
Won’t go away just want to say I love you
Not my fault but there’s nobody left to blame
Life goes on without you
Not fair want to call and you won’t be there
Sometimes seems it not true
So lost am I never to find my way
Scream but no one hears me
Feel abandoned as I live in denial I pray
Oh God please come fix me
At night lay awake and I see your face
A special moment that the darkness will soon replace
I comfort others just despite my pain
I can’t deal with mine I know it’s time I started
Everybody deals with things in a different way
My brother cries and my sister she cuts the pain
Just want to hold them let them know it’ll be okay
It’s hard to heal how others feel I’m broken
You left behind something time cannot replace
Endless sea of sorrow
Oh my God I miss you more it seems everyday
Afraid to face tomorrow
Emptiness you’ll forever be missed
And I wish I could just hold you
One more time just to say my goodbyes
And all the things I never told you
Can God hear my cries
When I pray at night
To take my pain away make me whole again
My hearts an open book for all to read
The pages faded now
Almost empty
Why do we love when we know that we have to lose
Everything explain to me it’s pointless
I want to heal but still I’m afraid to feel
Anything that’s left of me I’m hopeless
Don’t want to cry because I don’t want feel the pain
I just pray for closure
I tell myself that you’ve gone to a better place
I know that now for sure
I’ll see you later so I never will say goodbye
Always here inside me
For life till the day that I die
I know you’ll be there to guide me
Can God hear my cries
When I pray at night
To take my pain away make me whole again
My hearts an open book for all to read
The pages faded now
Almost empty
Dear mother you’re home with God so spread your wing
Finally rest in peace I’ll take care of things
I’ll always love you and I know you’ll see
I’ll do my best in life hope you’re proud of me…
Can’t erase our last embrace I miss you
Don’t cry I just drown all the pain inside
Won’t go away just want to say I love you
Not my fault but there’s nobody left to blame

Acquittal
Finished for some time
Resubmitting conditioned denial
Uttering sweet nothings, to convince
Too intense, tempers remain still
Heat from love too cold to ever admit
Ignoring the daze of dismay in sleepless nights
Our fights were prerecorded to get into feelings
Unsolicited yet fully vetted in afterthoughts of regret
Subjects in the court of love our defenses were tested
Petitioning for awards 2b granted on premises of no fault
No standing on the grounds of love holding value over life itself
I stand falsely accused but will rest my case just to be free from us
