This Heart
This heart you’ve deftly thieved
from me,
you plunderer --
can you hear it
as it murmurs in your hands
a yes, oh yes,
and now asks when
yes when,
you’ll steal it yet again?
from me,

I was excited.
I loved a girl
with the thought of being loved,
I had nothing to gain
She said we’re all the same
I always tried my best
For 10 years til there was nothing left.
Here I lay my heart
Like this tale I’m telling.

Syllable
Never my intention
Crazy sad endeavour
And this sad rejection
Thinking strange dilemma
Misery dejection
From her soul magnetic
This my love obsession
Making me frenetic
All years my attention
Thoughtful thoughts assemble
For rose of perfection
Actions be especial
Into my possession
Her heart I affected
Like a sweet infection
Then we were connected
Decent to deception
Lies they had potential
But step to redemption
To count sins sequential
This be my confession...

Submerged
I
What I would say to you is
My mentality has been under
Your palm twisted around
Your fingers
And that will be no more.
You expected me to be
Submerged into this dream
That was so far from current
Reality that I felt
Trapped within the depths
Of your own hurt
Your own lack of identity.
Blamed for passivity
Chained to retreating
Into old patterns
Of a life desperate and ugly.
But I am not the weak
And forsaken woman
Who you took me as.

Weather Man
Some of us see the rain,
more than the sunshine.
And I mean, really, that’s fine..
eventually you learn to appreciate it.
I’ve learned to dance between the drops,
as well as I’ve learned to cry in it.
but like the flowers and trees
I grow, I thrive in it.
Seeds sprouting
after endless tears have watered them.
i just have to give them time, don’t bother them..
from despair true beauty can grow
little did I know
that you’d come along
with arms so strong
you picked me up when i was falling apart;
a new feeling of...
more than the sunshine.

Loveth thou Me
my love for thee doth burn
alas, no answering love from thee
for thy embrace my heart doth yearn
from thy presence I shall not flee
unrequited, mine heart remains untouched
for thou, my love, dost not share concern
I know not where thy heart attached
or doth thou conspire to let me burn
Cruel fate why dost thou mock me
to live to laugh and love in vain
trace I the pain of Juliet or Romeo
why dost thou bind me to this pain
my love, thine eyes so bright
yet for me naught but silent tears
as thy arms...

Sorry
He's yelling at me.
Why did you put your clothes in my dresser drawer?
Why?
That's crazy!
It's MY house
Not yours
i'm scared
i think i may have filled up two drawers
maybe three
a red sweater on top in one
but didn't i live with him for a while?
no
right
never
not at all
when he leaves
i'll remove everything
and try to forgive myself

Flying Over
I can see the rooftops of your world;
from my rusted perch
I've been circling for years
never knowing when,
or if,
you'll let me land.
I can see the rooftops of your world
the unsightly
the unseen
the spires
the power sources
stars dimmed from lesser light
still,
you'd take them from me
if you could.
i can see the rooftops of your world
and sometimes more
the windows you see out of
the intimacy of your coffee
the door women walk through
the door i have entered ...

Borrowed Heart
Something borrowed
Something blue
Had I only known
I’d borrowed you
We met at a wedding
A family affair
You were the best man
I did the brides hair
I caught your attention
You smiled at me
We locked eyes a moment
Underneath the oak tree
The vows were exchanged
The whole time you stared
My heart began racing
The wind in my hair
We met at the bar
You just said “hello”
Your voice unexpected
You spoke very low
You seemed then so timid
And a little bit bold ...

I Wish I Could Help you .
I wish I could give you my eyes so you can view yourself as I do
You could see the way your smile brings Life and colour into a room
The comfort in your being , your care-filled heart and mind
knowing that your someone who could give sight to the blind
You would never drop your smile
That big ol cheeky grin
You would see what you deserve and throw your past right in the bin .
I wish that I could help you , I think I need to try,
If you could go ahead and see yourself right through my eyes.

Buried in Basalt
My hearts feels buried in basalt gravel
Delicate pressure points all surrounding
Each rocks presence is well known
A chorus of angular, uneven and jagged
Hearts can't help but beat as they are meant to
It's as the ocean beats against the sand
My blood doesn't soften the gravel as water does
Instead of crashing it pools through the gaps
Blood on basalt... It's quite the sight to behold
That thin fluid that turns rusty swirls to black
Each beat lifting and unsettling each stone
Each movement a new song thumps into existence
A song...
