I cannot explain what it is
that always pulls my eyes to you.
I suppose that is something that we are not
ever meant to know.
But I imagine that you enjoy
the attention when you are in view
and who can blame you for that
with all you have to show?
You are beautiful beyond measure
and we are blessed to have a peek
but the effects of you,
they have me wanting more!
I am a plethora of feelings.
My passion is roused,
I cannot speak.
How I regret that I must soon ...

For My Mom
For My Mom
You know,
You tell me that I mean the world to you
and I believe what you say.
I know your words are true
because Mom,
You mean the world to me too.
You have stood by me
throughout the years.
You have comforted my falls
and you have dried away tears.
You have been everything to me.
You are my mom and dear friend.
I know that on you I can always
depend.
Over the course of time
there have been some ups and downs.
It would not be normal
without a few frowns.
But...

Coming Home
Coming Home
It wasn't the way your silhouette
passed behind the drawn shades in the attic,
just as it wasn't the “thump, thump thump!”
I would hear coming up the stairs at night.
None of these were what really told me that you had come home.
It wasn't the face looking down at me in the laundry chute
or the lights moving all over the living room walls and ceiling.
No, I was used to these and they really didn't surprise me.
At least not much. Not anymore.
I knew you were home the night I felt your fingers
once...

Lamp
Lamp
A golden lamp.
One with milky-white shade.
It is a lovely lamp many would say.
They have been saying that for generations now.
Generations within a family and its civil war.
That is how long this lamp has been around.
How long it has been in the family.
Said to be purchased at a dying, little shop
by some grandpa who the hell knows anymore.
Quite the long time indeed.
Bitter bones.
Bad blood.
Like any normal family though, right?
So it all began in that stupid little shop. ...

Trees
Trees
Branching out, reaching toward each other.
Reaching out to the light, savoring the warmth.
We dig our roots in deep, grasping,
laying down our roots in a firm foundation.
Sometimes we are beautiful.
We show our true colors.
Sometimes we offer a home to another soul along life's journey.
Other times we slowly lose our colors
with life's changing seasons.
We become barren.
Brittle.
Exposed to the harsh elements throughout the journey.
Sometimes we die.
Our cycle continues, even...

Cousin Frederick
Cousin Frederick
Cousin Frederick passed on a warm, sunny day.
Family and friends paid respects,
some from far away.
The casket was open.
I thought it obscene.
Cousin Frederick lay as if sleeping. Peaceful. Serene.
From my pew in the back I watched people walk by.
Some unfamiliar to me despite how hard I would try.
How strange, always faces that you do not know
at funerals, at weddings, they always seem to show.
Everyone spoke low as they shuffled about.
Some cried. Some consoled. Then suddenly came a...

Imaginary Friend
Imaginary Friend
Kenny liked playing with imaginary friend.
They always had so much fun though it was all just pretend.
All the things they would do!
The places that they would go!
It was all real for Kenny.
Imaginary friend made it so.
One day they were pirates out on the sea.
Another, soldiers setting prisoners free.
Once superheroes defeating villains,
an evil wizard and king.
Kenny and imaginary friend could do anything!
Kenny once asked imaginary friend what he wanted to do.
Imaginary friend...

Masks
Masks
You look at me and you wonder if you know me.
Sometimes I wonder the same when I look at you.
Do you really know me?
Do I really know you?
Do I really even know myself anymore?
I look in your eyes and I soul search.
I look through the windows.
Sometimes they are clear.
Other times dusty,
cobwebs crossing the panes.
Perhaps even cracked or flat out broken out.
Your own eyes burn as you look into mine
and I wonder what you are seeing.
Whom you are seeing.
I blink as do you in turn, ...

Burning
Burning
If you tie me to your stake tonight
you need not make the knots so tight.
I have no desire to break free.
No desire to run away.
Leave me here beneath the moon above.
Listen as I vocalize my love
in such ways you have never
heard a lover say.
Yes, I will love you now and now is forever.
Test this and find death cannot sever.
Yours is always going to be
a special part of me.
Douse me now, set me aflame!
It matters not.
It is all the same.
I will burn for you ...

Mother's Baby
Mother's Baby
Mother, can you hear me?
Please show me that you care
for I can do nothing here
except exist in despair.
Mother, please listen.
You are making us both sick.
Slowly you are destroying us
with every needle prick.
Mother, I do not want to die
or for you to die as well.
If you do not stop this drug abuse
we know the future will.
Mother, I so need you
and I need you to be strong.
Please be healthy for us both,
together we belong.
Mother, I so love you ...

Supernova
Supernova
We live in a world while living in our own
little world within our minds.
Sometimes those worlds may overlap,
integrate within our own and along with other
little worlds within other minds.
They float about, spinning,
traveling in an orbit around ourselves,
sometimes even around another or others
and while they do so those little worlds
may even yet create another world,
or even others.
At times those mingling, little worlds may merge
only to explode, often within.
In so doing...

So You Still.....
So You Still.....
So you still stand on that beach
where you pick out that star,
where you whisper your wish
that it may travel far.....
where the breeze combs your hair
and wipes away all your tears,
where the rhythm of waves
seems to quiet your fears.....
where that moon large and bright
somehow feels like a hug,
where the vibes buzz your body
like some incredible drug.....
where you walk the shoreline,
the sand kissing your feet,
where back and forth every night
is another...
So you still stand on that beach
where you pick out that star,
where you whisper your wish
that it may travel far.....
where the breeze combs your hair
and wipes away all your tears,

where that moon large and bright
somehow feels like a hug,
where the vibes buzz your body
