you don't know me
but I'm worried about you
my parallel self...apparently
6 months ago...a chance mistake...
fat fingers...so he claimed
everything instantly changed
& now I'm aware of your existence
though I'd be surprised if he admitted to mine
a startling realization...I wasn't the only one
pinned like an insect under his thumb
...that's what has me concerned
see..I know my own strength
it's been tested & found to be solid
but yours...of yours I have no knowledge
only the concern you apparently...

Expectations Unsettled
She hoped for love, but got hate in return,
Her heart burned while his indifference burned.
She longed for joy, but was handed despair,
She tried to hold on, but it seemed unfair.
She had high hopes, but he gave her so little,
His actions cold, his words a sharpened chisel.
She withered away, as he tore her apart,
Her love unrequited, her wounds an open chart.
She was on fire, but he poured on more fuel,
She begged for mercy, but he played it cruel.
She craved for so much, but he gave her so little,
Her soul shattered, her...

Better off
I've lost my light so I've lost my desire
The darkness consumes me like a raging fire
Its a losing effort to extinguish the flames
Will I be another victim that heartbreak claims?
I try to push on and get past the pain of loss
But my heart is shattered and I cant carry this cross
I refuse to believe this is how we were meant to be
Youre with someone else and I still choose not to see
Without you nothing is worth doing, especially living
Separated from your heart and the love you were giving
Its too much to...

Precious
For thirty-one years
it encircled
my left ring finger.
Smooth band
of ten carat gold.
Repeatedly scratched
and like ocean glass
polished over.
Symbolic of our
union,
our microcosmic
institution.
Ever brilliant
no matter if
the hand gets battered or dirty.
Emblematic
of ostensible fidelity
A burnished beacon
throwing a signal
that this port is full,
all docks are taken.
Though seeming
to become
a part of my anatomy,
With a few
carefully chosen words.

If I Stop To Remember
I have scar tissue
that spells her name,
Its valleys and peaks
landscape my core
and if I stop too long,
I'd spend a lifetime
hiking through them.
Each tree a scent
each blade of grass a memory
and the great plateau
where we parted ways
dominates all.
When sorrow dances in my bones
instinctively I move to its rhythm,
regardless if I want to or not.

Goodbye Isn't Final
No goodbye
Is truly final
For destiny
Hands out favors
Unlike a
Cop who
Passes out
His menacing
tickets

Pendulum
I can feel the weight of gravity,
it's pressure on my skin,
Living lifetimes in
the past and future
between the pendulums swing.
The self affacing tragedies
The comedies of youth,
The drama's in the romance
The romance in the truth.
Powerless to retain her love
it slips into the night,
Fracturing me like victorian glass,
Oblivions dark delight.

The Lady Blue (About The Baby)
Life isn't always so easy in the Big Easy. You'll see what I mean. Not too long after Gary and I tied the knot, I turned up pregnant. That was the good part but then the dreams began. My baby was going to be a beautiful blessing in our lives when born. However, I was having dreams I couldn't shake off of something bad happening to the child. I just didn't understand why they were happening.
It's true that not all of my dreams come true. That is a good thing. The problem with it is I never know one way or the other. It's just the way it goes for me.
I have...

Patterns
Established roles
present problems
over time
Eventually,
one wants to play against type,
The resentment brews
if another continually calls the shots
And that breakdown
can create fractures
I never protested
under the guidance
of the many seductions
But there were times
when I craved to initiate
and you were rarely open to it
I would have taken charge
and I know that was a key contributor
to the downfall,
but that pattern
prevented it
from ever happening.

The Lady Blue (Wedding Bells)
The next morning, I didn't get home until 7:00 a.m. I knew Joe would most likely be up having his morning coffee. I was afraid to go inside because I knew he was going to confront me about my staying out all night. I knew Joe would be upset but I didn't see what was about to happen.
As soon as I got inside, I saw that he was putting his belongings in a big box that he'd place on the floor next to his favorite chair.
"Where you been all night?" He asked, but before I could answer, he raised one hand to stop me, then said. "No. Don't tell me. Let me...

shadow tangled vines
shadow
tangled vines
wrap themselves
around
my sleep,
delicate
breathing
coming from
my chest,
my dreams
blinking
within each
direction
and
my hands
tied,
whether this
is natural
or unnatural
occurrence,
each thought
works its
way to
the surface,
awakening
i realized
i felt
this way
every time
i thought
of you
walking away.
