Tell me
how did it feel?
when you stood there
out on the reels
looking down
from the building
did night
lean
apologetic
against you?
Sometimes I bleed
unfinished letters
my pencil hesitant
opening into acceptance
revealing how
he must have landed in my heart chamber
when he jumped from the 14th floor
I incubated lavender in each splinter
knowing it is his birthday soon
and once again I remember
how his chestnut hair ...

Liquid Fire
(Repeat)
When I look into your eyes
I don’t want to stand frozen, mystified
Dumbfounded, shocked and surprised
I can’t help but see
All the women who came before me
Your bruises on full display
Your wounds unhealed today
I want to be standing proudly
Glorified
In your eyes
But you’re guarded
The key to your heart lost to me
Like a buried treasure at sea
And my love
The love you once held dear
Then placed on a pedestal
Now lays...

Soulmates?
She’s beautiful to me
And it’s easy for me to let her know it
I can’t keep my hands to myself
When she’s around
I’m captive to her brown eyes
Seductive is her stare
It’s so easy to let my guard down around her
It scares me
I love our deep conversations
I hate them at the same time
I don’t feel safe
Putting my emotions in the hands
Of a woman
Because the one time I did
She broke me
And I vowed to myself
I’d never let that happen again

Young Love in 94
In the glow of the harvest moon's embrace,
Debra found a tender space.
A church hayride in '94
A time of wonder. A time of grace.
Fourteen summers graced her face,
With eyes that sparkled in autumn's lace.
A boy she’d known for all their lives
Joined her there in that special place.
Amidst the laughter, the creak of the cart,
She felt a flutter within her heart.
In the hay they sat, her church friends near,
The boy was sweet and kind in heart.

Love from afar
Call me insane, I wear it well,
Insanely in love, it’s my secret spell.
Crazy to think I could be enough,
Yet here I am, in this whirlwind of love.
Demented dreams, I hold you tight,
Frantic thoughts consume my nights.
But you, my dear, deserve the sun,
It’s mad to think our fates are one.
You’re blind to the light you truly are,
Crazy to doubt you could go far.
Deranged, perhaps, but I still see,
A beauty in you that was always meant to be set free
Insanely in love, it’s my secret spell.
Crazy to think I could be enough,
Yet here I am, in this whirlwind of love.
Demented dreams, I hold you tight,
Frantic thoughts consume my nights.
But you, my dear, deserve the sun,
It’s mad to think our fates are one.
You’re blind to the light you truly are,
Crazy to doubt you could go far.
Deranged, perhaps, but I still see,
A beauty in you that was always meant to be set free

one dry rose (from long ago)
she opened
the book
that held
one of her
secrets,
silently
waiting
for many
years,
was one
single
dry rose,
one that
brought
back
memories
before her
husband,
and she
held that
delicate
rose,
remembering
and smiled.

What Could’ve Been
Time has passed
We’ve both changed
From what, where, why and when
There’s no way it could ever be
What it would’ve been, back then
We’re two different people
From those kids we knew
Even though we resemble them
There’s no way it could ever be
What it would’ve been, back then
It was a missed opportunity of yesteryear
When we labeled each other as,
Just a friend
There’s no way it could ever be
What it would’ve been, back then
We both have different lives
Other lovers...

1977 in Dallas
In the heart of Dallas, Texas, during the sweltering summer of 1977, Amanda Hodges, known to all as Mandy, was coming of age. She was the youngest of three children all born in Jackson, Mississippi. Seeking work, her father had brought the family to Dallas. With the trauma of the move and loss of friendships, she felt alone, easily overlooked by parents who were consumed with the daily struggle to make ends meet in the tumultuous city. At 17, Mandy was a striking contrast to her family's modest existence; a good student with a yearning to be seen and acknowledged, to find her place in the...

One Shot!
I sense her shadow drawing near,
Sweaty palms in the cool night air,
Her steps rise softly up the stair,
A spark ignites, pulling me near, yet I fear.
My knees give way, whispering “Surrender,”
Years of this dance, both joy and dread,
A heartbeat teeters on a thin thread,
Love feels so strong, but my heart is tender.
How steady beats this heart through strife,
It falters at times, yet yearns for more,
Caught in the joy, but scared to explore,
This love is both thrill and a risk to life.

Across the Expanse
Stillness holds me
The expanse between us overwhelms
An enormity of impossibility
Leaving me absolutely
Shooting stars shoot past
And I know this loneliness will always last
You whisper across time
Subtle echoes reverberate
Keeping me awake until late
I hold onto promises long since made
Like small diamonds scattered wide and far
Maybe they can heal this lifelong scar?
Yet the line is broken
Everything has vanished into atmosphere
My sunken eyes state upward

Heartache on aisle 5
I wake with sudden ambition, a deep sadness stretch's across my face and I take A moment of reflection
my ghost of past lost visits me once again, A bitter-sweet reunion of the face I wished to lay beside.
for A seemingly unrelated dream can shift to the most serious of moments and it is the heart that seems locked in A eternal nightmare.
with eyes as sharp as glass she stares into my soul and lights it asunder with every second I am forced to remember her everything.
how is it that after this long I refuse to let go even when I have begged for...
