Alone
He sits alone
he sits at home
consumed slowly
by a world I can’t define
that exists only in his mind.

Shed My Clothes
Fighting to suppress
gets me instantly depressed
trying to rationalize
exposes all the lies,
you speak so eloquently
so damn sufficiently
feeding my insecurity
evading my scrutiny,
your words sugar coated
painting you extremely devoted
your slick smile sinks me deep
suddenly I fall in a heap,
swooning at your feet
feelings of remorse takes a backseat,
what is this thing I feel?
what is the whole damn appeal?
Your world so far from mine
your body remains a shrine
there is little left to do
I shed my clothes like skin ...

You Inspire Me
You inspire me,
to learn to grow
to extend the little knowledge I know
to read to dream to plan to the extreme
to aspire to achieve to hope to believe,
you inspire me in ways I never dreamt but always wished I could be
you push you taunt you show up in my dreams you haunt me
to inspire me,
you inspire me to want to read to sing to write a whole other dictionary
to make words so fine so rich so productive it wills me to live
just to say to talk to let the silkiness of letters combining forming words makes me want to breathe harder faster stronger...

Cut you Open
Not quite a man though you ached to be
the only way you can ever get a chance to be with me,
I said I loved you but that was way back when
a lot has changed since then,
I was not sure of who I was who I was meant to be
so who is the woman you loved in me?
There is nothing right in what we do
but there is this secret bond I feel with you
the abuser seeking its prey
you should have run fought to stay away
no one knows who I am
there is not a man who had a chance to walk into my heart
and I bare myself like an open book from the start
all a...

My compass of faith shot
Partaking his belief stifling my very own
without his support I have no name no home
the children’s cry in the dead of the night
awakens me from slumber with such a dreadful fright
asking questions that brings no answers nor precision
indecision piled a mile high accompanied by division
the tears of my angels fall softly like snow
I will to vanish but don’t know where to go
the road remains unclear my compass of faith shot
lose it all for honesty or hold on for dear life to what I’ve got
partaking spiritually to something I cannot feel
he says all...

Nothing he can do
There is nothing he can do
he may try but he isn’t you,
instead his interest peaks my attention
answering no questions
why you can’t afford such an intervention,
there is nothing he can do to woo me
after you my eyes are lost and I refuse to see,
still my heart falters when he gets near
I can close my mind and envision you’re here
he maybe can touch my hand and leave me breathless
but outside your world I remain heartless,
there is nothing he can say to me
there is not any certain thing he can do
he isn’t you.

she is left alone after he is gone
She awoke with such a fright
tonight
she has no fight
she closes her eyes
wait for the pain
the thunder and lightening
flashes on the pane
in her mind she sees only red
in her innocence she barricades her bed
her clothes discarded with a toss of his hands
tonight he forgets one day he’ll be a man
she is left alone after he has gone
she opens her eyes and surveys the wrong
a lifetimes it seems lost in a moment
a decade of dreams shredded and spent
tonight is not the beginning nor the end

Falling.....
I’m falling
I fight myself
as his hands
his body
move closer
to where I lay
I’m falling
as night turns slowly
into another day
I can’t turn away
his lips touch my lips
gently
as if there were no ill feelings spent
I swallow the hurt
choking on resentment
I’m falling
the familiarity of fires turned to ash
when the hardest years hit
the burns of a flame
I find too difficult to resist.

Mattresses on the floor
I hear her talk
about getting pretty heavy
but always backing out
she’s a virgin
and I wonder what that feels like,
a moment destined to be special
with bated breath
you’re wondering
is it time
am I ready yet?
well I remember
dark hallow bedrooms
mattresses on the floor
I don’t know when it happened first
but I know
it happened before
so I’m not too sure
up till what point
what age
I was still a virgin,
ill conceived notions
expectant emotions
shot down in seconds,
I hear her talk
about when it...

I cant leave at all
How many nights
have you spent alone?
how many nights
have you had empty conversations
with people you wish
would leave you alone?
but you tear out attire
like they’re on fire
so eager to impress
you shed her dress
and within moments
you lay back on your pillow
wondering
who is this?
what have I become
in my all too willing eagerness
to be with someone
anyone
to show my dance
to portray myself
like art
on a museum wall
she leaves disappointed
and I cant leave at all.

fat lady
there are no words
nothing to say
shades of pink
all turned to grey
the song is over
the fat lady sung
from the ceiling
she silently hung.

when i lay with him
tonight
when I lay with him
I will not think of you
I will not close my eyes
the fear within I wont disguise
the hands that once bruised me
are now sent to use me
is this my duty?
is this what you wish for me?
tonight
when he reaches in and pulls me near
I will shudder with fright be filled with fear
bearing in mind loud and clear
you wished me here
the vows I spoke I do not recall
being kicked in the stomach if ever I fall
the words I repeated after a priest
was to honor and obey a man not...
