Restore
so here i am again
fighting for my right to feel
shaking in the freezing cold
and every vibration seeming frozen
dormant
maybe i should stand
shake off the frost
and stand by the fire to warm
so that i can be free again
my head has felt heavy lately
my heart sunk like a stone
in the cold waters
of a lake as still as the water in my glass
im afraid i might drown
my house holds a negative vibe
but should it really matter
its time to take action
to stand and free my head again
to rescue my own heart...

Velvet
I look out my window
is it broken
or is it me
shattered reflections follow
in my sunken heels
but i don't feel broken
not hindered at all
as i lean against my velvet wall
smoke curls toward the ceiling
origin unknown
like a faded memory
spinning ,spinning,gone
i see a twinkle on my windowsill
a sparkling fairy
small and still
I hear her whispers in my head
of things i have never said
she beckons me with an outstretched claw
i do not think i should go at all
"you are mad" she says ...

Child of the Muses
life is but a bird on the wing
flying ever faster
soaring through the clouds
into the ever after
child of the muses
why do you even speak
churning words
like water in the sink
why not speak with your hands
like soft twisting clay
you're better at it anyway
self is just an aura
a projection that you choose
imprinting what you love
who cares what you lose?
do you lose?
when you keep what you love
child of the muses
speak what's in your heart
don't mind the brains torks
they were there...

Poetry
i slink around a snow globe world
i can rhyme any word you've heard
and all i need is a pencil and my poem book
sometimes dark
sometimes light
sometimes like fire burning bright
if you think i can draw , then you haven't seen me write.
the words flow from my fingertips
lucid as the night
i tie my dark hair back
in a loose ponytail
as my pencil traces a story trail
down the lines of paper
im a poet and believe ive always known it
since long before now
i put my heart in poetry
my heart ,my mind...

Silence
dark
like something emerging from a moonlight swamp
wet and haggard
tired
clawing from the depths of despair
with a lust for living
a want for breathing
an animalistic hunger
pressure and knowledge are one
wishing innocence
wanting to not understand
needing to forget
to not not comprehend the meaning in his eyes
of his smooth body language
looking for love in lust
dejected
pinned
staring blank at the ceiling
fingers tapping to break down the bars
freedom
boredom leads to...

Caged
Like a caged lion i am
trapped in my own meager existence
i long for thrills and excitement
but am only met by the cage bars in my way
of unbreakable steel and locked from the outside
i am helpless despite my strong wills
left to do nothing but to press my paws to the bars and gaze into the outside
i pace to the left
i see glorious city lights
and the welcoming arms of people who love me
i pace to right
breathtaking mountains
but what is a mountain view masked by cold steel
both left and right are the same direction ...

My Wolf
your eyes
soft,cool,and calculating
in them i see my wolf
you're quick to a joke and to light up a smoke
gracefully pursed between your beautiful lips
innocence shines bright
in your cool green eyes
only with the purest intentions
one foot in front of the other
you express your thoughts in your talents
and talented you are
my shadow is a wolf
following his lions footsteps
calculating and protecting
as she talks
stumbling over her own words
and her own clumsy paws
without his soft smile...

Jump
its a jump
a dive
a spin
and you find yourself on the ground
gasping for air
with out stretched hands and
welcome
hollering into the wind
howling at the moon
its the wild rush of a summer night
and mountain air
its the get up and go feeling in your bones
and the need to breath
its the gleam of glowing eyes in the dark
and the sexy hum of the bass
and the hypnotics of the drums
and your there
its the crackling of joints and an awareness at midnight
crawling skin
and electricity ...

How?
How can i think i loved you?
sure
your attractive
with gleaming eyes and a devious smile
beautiful face
stunning really , like a wild stallion running on the wind
but hell
untrustable-selfish-self destructive
you deserve loneliness and sorrow
because its your fault that you feel the way you do
your fault that you're lonely degraded and jaded
foolish mouse of a men
coward
i could stomp my foot and you'd jump
oh, selfish lover ,who made you like this but you
just because i'm female doesn't make me weak
but...

For One Night
Tiny fish circle in the water
Bliss and memories of fingertips
The sublime feel of fog on skin
Light as a feather but grounded like a flag flowing softly on the liquid air
Bliss
Like a soft kiss but better
But better with a soft kiss from an alike mind
Prowling in the dark with your mind open
Flashing ambulance lights and the hair raising feel of breath on your neck
Wondering about world's away
And then
Spin and it's different
Spiritual escapades
flowing to the feel and the sound of the world around you
Try...
