Relics
If I had known what it would cost
I wouldn’t have molded myself into your plans
Or looked down at my grandmother’s footprint
Denied her significance
I should have held on tighter
Followed her patterns
Becoming her instead of what you wanted me to be.

Patchwork
Even if I tear apart
I will repair myself
With what remains
Of my spare fabrics
I will continue sewing
Seams into my quilt
There will be far more left of me
Then just mere pieces
That do not fit together.

And Then It Rained
Vigorous Rain
Pounding
Digging pits into the ground
Earth grateful
For its elemental onslaught
Cleansing
Resembling
My purified soul
And liberated heart
From your deceptions
Thus allowing me
To Be
Mindful of your part in my journey
As I glance up at the rainbow
Feel the rays from the sun
Seeing clearly how far I've come
Knowing succinctly where to take my next step
Away from you.

Balloon People
They sometimes hang together.
Strings holding them in a group
Floating around in the air
Full of air themselves
Some break their restraints
And float free
One by one, two by two
They always seem to have fun
Before they move on
In their uncaring manner
Up, up and away
Strings holding them in a group
Floating around in the air
Full of air themselves
Some break their restraints
And float free
One by one, two by two
They always seem to have fun
Before they move on
In their uncaring manner
Up, up and away

Stay Close To Me
When the sky is falling, I need to know
You'll stay close to me
I need you to seize me
When I'm falling apart
Until I catch my breath
Shelter me
With your devoted heart
One beat at a time
As the gravity of you keeps me
Firmly grounded
I need you to take my hand
As the world falls around us
Allowing me to
Caress my wounds
To construe their origin
As you kiss my scars
While I regain my balance
I need you to be
My
Only

Quite
Lover, Delight
While I lavish
Kisses across each scar
That you carry
On your body
In your mind
Deep within your soul
Lover, Anticipate
As I caress you
Nibbling
Caressing
Every
Sensuous place
With my lips
And fingertips
Then Lover, Conquer
With demanding
Claim
Hardened
Intent
As you cut deep
And then shallow
So that we’re covered
In our flowing fluids
And trembling
Lover, Revel
Calm within
The cathartic...
While I lavish
Kisses across each scar
That you carry
On your body
In your mind
Deep within your soul
Lover, Anticipate
As I caress you
Nibbling
Caressing
Every
Sensuous place
With my lips

Battle Cry
Nobody has ever over-thought
Under-thought
Not give a damn
Like I have
Nobody has ever given in
Tempted sin
Went back again
Like I have
Watched me fail
Run straight for hell
Scorched the earth
Ceded worth
Like I have
Nobody expected less
Of me
Failed me as bad
As me
Taking me
Down
With me
The way I see out of his
Is for one of us to take the fall
Either I let up on myself
Or I will cease to exist.

Love Proof
It's the right thing to do
When you leave your man
That you leave no shred of doubt
And spew nothing but hate
With the slamming door
Let him deal with the she's a-bitch-angle
Let him call you all the names
Think whatever
Keeping up appearances
Avoiding blame
Re-inventing what was there
Into nothing
Don't say the possibilities
You might be thinking
Such as your arms are aching
For his embrace
And how your mind consumes his open desire
How you'll miss his loving glances
And the acceptance of...

Exhale
Familiar dreams transition
Coaxing new sensations
Waiting for the dawn to rise
Breaking the night sky
With the light of your rhythm
Waking to the presence of intentions
As nerves pulse into a sequence
Sanguine fluid flows through vital veins
Holding in my breath with a gasp
Weaving autarchy into the heart
Infusing the mind with hope
Mending broken pieces
Embracing your ecstasy
Emulating each sensual movement
Exhaling passion.

When Darkness Whispers
The darkness whispered to me
"I'll tell you a secret if you dare."
"I dare," I replied back
"There are times."
Growling softly
"You are too much trouble."
"And I wish you would die."
Snarling in disgust
"That's no secret to me."
I whispered back.
"I'll tell you a secret if you dare."
"I dare," I replied back
"There are times."
Growling softly
"You are too much trouble."
"And I wish you would die."
Snarling in disgust
"That's no secret to me."
I whispered back.

Wreckage
The wreckage in my chest is no longer a heart
Its frame is now tattered and ripped apart
The scent of blood mixed
The sounds trapped with
The glimpse of hell it takes
As we hit the brakes
Mangled rubble
Tangled trouble
Staggering free
With memories
Thoughts rush in clear
As hate crashes near
Love becomes lost
In the collision of us.
Its frame is now tattered and ripped apart
The scent of blood mixed
The sounds trapped with
The glimpse of hell it takes
As we hit the brakes
Mangled rubble
Tangled trouble
Staggering free
With memories
Thoughts rush in clear
As hate crashes near
Love becomes lost
In the collision of us.
