Live For Today
My 30th year reunion is coming real soon
Majority I went to high school with are dead
Reminds me of some after school special, I presume
I can be next before this reunion transpires
Phlegmatic, I never was
Stress I carry in my jaw, my ass is on fire
A chemical relationship I had with my friends
Most of those goons have departed
They’d often asphyxiate me similar to The Bends
Domestic violence occurred often
Love was a fist in their lives
Now you see why their all in coffins
Screw the event, I'm going out to...

When the sky bled…
Your darkness
Illuminated
By your desire
To destroy
I thought my
Heart stained tears
Would never end
Comprehending
Your inability
To love anyone
Including yourself
Extinguished
My torment
Now I bask
In the beauty
Of letting go

LIFE'S JOURNEY
AMAZING
It started when
you squeezed out of
the birth canal:
LIFE'S journey began by
lying still; then you
began to crawl,
then standing unsteady
on your feet, then
wabbling in an exciting walk;
then walking with confidence,
then finally running.
There is more movement,
one more step:
you start to advance and
when you have reached
the mountain TOP;
then you start to CLIMB
and FLY.
The horizon nor the
sky is not the LIMIT,
your thoughts are your
LIMITS. You will never ...

Cruising The Death of Time
There is a desolate highway
that cuts through
my mind's haunting pines.
A scull and crossbone
on the exit sign.
Through rugged terrain
of yesterday's.
Counting the monotonous lines.
Driving back
through the death of time.
Cruising to days
you perished being mine.
Back to you holding my hand,
absolutely inconceivable,
you would ever let go.
It's heart tugging to visit
those memories now,
the heart still gives,
a phantom swell.
I drove back
and parked in tomorrow.
Into the deep...

It's heart tugging to visit
those memories now,
the heart still gives,
a phantom swell.
I drove back
and parked in tomorrow.

Rest In Peace
I just buried
Another failed relationship
R.I.P.
It started out fun
Like romances always
Seem to do
But the more I knew about
The man, the less
I cared for him
I'm proud of myself
For once seeing
A relationship for
What it was and
Not for what
I wanted it to be
And having the strength
To let go of it
Before it killed my
Self esteem and
Self tespect

Burning Bridges
you find ways to rationalize
when you’re trying to survive
an abusive situation
you self-sooth and say
everything’s going to be okay
but it’s not yet
you still have to learn
to enforce healthy boundaries
and when to walk away
whether it was leaving
my ex husband
or my workplace
disowning family
it’s just the same
abuse wears many hats
disguised in lies
but wise eyes recognize
the time to cut all ties
for the sake of personal growth

Summer fades
It tested us
A few more ice cream cones
Then winter

it's a start...
he slipped in under cover of night
sifted through the seams of unfiltered dreams
and crept into my restless slumber
calloused fingers tracing my shape
(so unlike your manicured hands)
imprinting sacred runes upon my aura
their glow a pale white spread
suffusing my suddenly fevered flesh
his shadowed eyes traveled my writhing curvature
leaving scorch marks wherever they landed
tiny sparks arcing off my body
seeking...reaching for his touch
and as lips (that weren't yours) pressed against mine
...I nearly cried
aching for...

destination (too far)
clustering
of lights
sharpening
themselves
over me,
shadows
behind me,
my eyes
so heavy,
i still
drove,
how i
wished
to sleep,
this moment
sweeping me
over
and over,
my destination
still lay
too far.

The Value of Time
I can hear some of my watches on my nightstand ticking away
As I lay in bed waiting for sleep in the quiet and dark of night
Wondering how many minutes I’ve wasted on that particular day
Or the years I treated time as infinite but forgetting my time is finite
And then I remember all those lazy days and unproductive hours
All that precious time gifted as it now drifts into the blackness of space
The moments I made something of them while others were wasted
Postponing dreams and aspirations that I always wanted to chase
Now as I approach a...

Let's Dance
the path of regrets
shadowed by gloom
thoughts of memories
in closed books remain
walking out closing the door
no more wallow in halls
where sorrow graffiti
decorate walls
out to the vastness
of a sunny world
once more to laugh
Live love sing dance
tea, anyone...?
