Rainmaker
I know the feeling
of haunting thoughts
that whisper lies
into every action you see
and twists every line
into another circle.
Never thought I'd be the cause.
I believed myself capable
of calming troubled waters
when the waves came crashing down.
It's hard to face not being that strong.
Looking for the storm clouds,
all I've found is a metal sheet
and a lot of noise
and too much thinking.
I don't have the proper weapons.
I was armed for chasing clouds.

Two Thousand Pieces
Shattered.
A thousand laughs and a thousand tears
in pieces
lost against a blue sky.
How dare the world be so bright
while I am left here in the dark.
How dare you be so cold when all that I've given you is warm.
You must have long arms
to keep me so far
yet hold me so close.
Praising my perfection
while pointing out
every little thing
I didn't mean to do wrong.
It must be my fault.
It always is.
Though I'll never...

The Unenduring Amplitude of the Acrid Epidermis
Ah
the insincerity
of hollow hearts
knocking together
like bamboo
blowing in the wind.
I let your first impressions impress me.
I thought I saw depth
in what was really shallow.
I stood my ground,
radiating love
as I swore I would.
You jumped from one side to another
spitting venom in acid lines
I will not cross.
It is not ignorance to understand another's perspective.
Go ahead,
keep your blinders bound tight,
stroke the flock of pet egos
you love to keep. ...

Didn't Keep Our Distance
Your tears stain my chest
where my heart lay bare and bleeding.
I've a fountain behind my eyes
waiting to cleanse the pain
of heartbreak yet to come.
We play a dangerous game
and we've both won and lost.
Dangled dreams just out of reach.
Still getting closer
with no where to go
but into a wall.
Yet we can't let go.
All I can think
as I dig in my heels,
holding tight with your arms around me,
our blended heartbeats pounding in my ears,
is how long can this go on?
There is no more
but...
where my heart lay bare and bleeding.
I've a fountain behind my eyes

Beneath the Surface
Take your dreams and drown them
in forced laughter and empty smiles.
Fill the bleeding hole with gauze and trinkets
and flimsy aspirations.
Don't glance behind
at what it makes no sense to want,
and please don't speak of the heartbreak.
Keep the rhythm.
Keep the pretense.
Don't let the cracks show.
With dreams never to see the light of day,
left in the darkness beyond the glassy surface
reflecting every fear and reason not to reach it
You can be happy.
You might forget. ...

Give me your dreams and I'll make them come true
There is light in the air
Where I breathe your name
I take in your words
Savor their caress and swallow them down
My heartbeat quickens
My own touch a substitute for yours
Hot from the images you spark
Your passion causing a flow of liquid poetry
I long for you to taste
I close my eyes
And give myself over to the dream of you
Where I lose myself in your eyes
In your kiss
And give direction to all of this building desire
Riding on the verge of ecstasy
I search for the star to wish upon
That will bring you to me
Where I breathe your name
I take in your words
Savor their caress and swallow them down
My heartbeat quickens
My own touch a substitute for yours
Hot from the images you spark
Your passion causing a flow of liquid poetry
I long for you to taste
I close my eyes
And give myself over to the dream of you
Where I lose myself in your eyes
In your kiss
And give direction to all of this building desire
Riding on the verge of ecstasy
I search for the star to wish upon
That will bring you to me

The World Stopped
I watched you fade away
to shades of grey
and yellow
as your body betrayed you.
Images so hard to forget
they scar
You waited to leave
in the moment I wasn't there,
and I was there for every moment before.
He needed it more than I
and I am glad he has it.
Waking to his words made the world stop.
Still there was no time for breaking down.
Things to do, to settle, to take care of.
Make sure people get their moment, ...

Empathy in Love
Your silence is louder
than all of the screams
I have ever held back
combined.
Silence thick enough
to cover me
in heavy cold,
muffling the echoes of love.
I ache
knowing that you're aching.
Emptiness reaching 'cross country
to choke me.
I turn away
from reminders.
Awaiting your warmth.
Fearing it will never come.
Circumstances being what they are,
you being who you are,
Noble sad and lonely Prince,
you will sacrifice yourself
for peace.
My smallest wish being
that...

I have ever held back
combined.
Silence thick enough

muffling the echoes of love.

I turn away

Cody
The years have been hard,
but he has made it through the storms
with a smile
that both breaks and melts my heart.
He is something to behold.
My eyes have lingered longer
as the years have passed.
His body is rock,
weather worn and cut.
My touch craves his skin.
The curve of his muscles
flex and bend to embrace me.
Encircled in a halo
of comfort and protection.
I lean against his caress
and tremble
beneath the very thought of him.
Like lock and key we fit.
He opens things once hidden,

He sighs love
He sighs
So I'll ask him.
Always the same answer:
"What you don't want me to say".
Seems to me that's the same as saying it.
He loves me
Is what that sigh means.
He knows it frightens me.
That I am fighting the urge to run.
Neither of us know how long he'll be able to hold on.
He introduced me once as "his life".
I wouldn't even let him call me girlfriend.
It made my breath stop for a moment, and my legs tense to flee.
Still I smiled
while holding him at arms length.
I think he'd...

The Quickest Way to See Me Run
He tried to set the mood
music playing,
lights dimmed.
He'd thought this through
and I was terrified!
Taking my hand,
stroking my face,
I trembled.
I didn't want this...
wasn't ready
for it to be over.
I tried to distract him.
Changing the subject,
commenting on the songs.
I was obnoxious
and knew it.
I was making him work too hard
when it should come easy.
An exciting moment couples rush into.
He was trying,
and I...
music playing,
lights dimmed.

Empty Pages
I woke up this morning,
and not a trace was left.
I cried.
Connection is such a gift,
filling days with endless smiles.
The severing leaves me bleeding.
Thoughts plucked like wilted flowers
I forgot to press between my pages.
I may come to believe it was all imagined.
To open your heart
is always a risk.
Disappointment always looming.
You left me without words,
without air.
Hope all that remains,
waiting for your return.
and not a trace was left.
I cried.
Connection is such a gift,
filling days with endless smiles.
The severing leaves me bleeding.
Thoughts plucked like wilted flowers
I forgot to press between my pages.
I may come to believe it was all imagined.
To open your heart
is always a risk.
Disappointment always looming.
You left me without words,
without air.
Hope all that remains,
waiting for your return.
