Uncontained
I am uncontained
Soul leaking out through the cracks
Those cracks that are supposed to let the light in
And they do, so lovely at first -
But then it burns
Burns holes in my self-control
Illuminates the shady-shamey corners
….it should feel like freedom….
But instead it is an agonizing nakedness
Laid bare against my will
Sobbing, surrounded by strangers
Uncontained
Bits of me and bits of crazy
(I can’t tell which is which)
Pouring down my face
Splashing messy...

Deer's Blood
One night dying of
Broken Heart
So I did something crazy
I drank deer's blood
It gave me superpowers
Like strength, speed,
Mind manipulation,
ability to enter dreams
Which I use to
make women happy
and making sure
that they are
ready to fight
the system to
create a better
society that's
Equal and Fair
To Everyone

Polar
As your air frostbites
tears form with the overflow;
shaping icicles
from the emotions that rage
in the chambers of my heart.

Sixes and Sevens
This was the year they should have been walking across stage
Caps and gowns with smiles and cheers all around
This was supposed to be the year they were going to graduate
Instead
We still reel over what happened on that dreadful day
This was the summer they were supposed to spread their wings
Off to adventures, like falling in love or going away on vacation
Some would have been heading to college for higher education
Instead
We’re left wondering with what could have been
No parent should ever have to bury a child ...

Sister, Whatever You Need
Sister, Whatever You Need
Whatever you need
Whatever I can do
I want you to know
That I am here for you
If you want to talk
Or need a shoulder to cry on
I want you to know that
I am here for you to rely on
However lonely you feel
You are not alone
I am only as far away
As the nearest phone
So don't hesitate to call
No matter what you need
I rush to your side
With all Heaven's speed
Whatever you need
Whatever I can do
I want you to know
That I am here for you
If you want to talk
Or need a shoulder to cry on
I want you to know that
I am here for you to rely on
However lonely you feel
You are not alone
I am only as far away
As the nearest phone
So don't hesitate to call
No matter what you need
I rush to your side
With all Heaven's speed

Seek
If you can't find love
anywhere
Seek it within you
...it shall be there
anywhere
Seek it within you
...it shall be there

Lost Love Haiku from the Cafe
Lost Love Haiku from the Cafe
her lost voice
in the meadowlark song
outside his window
newspaper clipping
daguerreotype of sweetheart
married to a stranger
the crescent moon
of her once upon a time slipper
transits his tears
timbre
of her mezzo soprano
memory echo
golden opportunity
a locomotive barreling by
his freight train blues
jewelry box
holds the diamond ring
she once wore for him
her lost voice
in the meadowlark song
outside his window
newspaper clipping
daguerreotype of sweetheart
married to a stranger
the crescent moon
of her once upon a time slipper
transits his tears
timbre
of her mezzo soprano
memory echo
golden opportunity
a locomotive barreling by
his freight train blues
jewelry box
holds the diamond ring
she once wore for him

Raw Unclean Wound
The anguish
That bleeds from this heart
Is an unclean wound
There’s no solace in beauty
It scratches at my scars
Keeping the pain raw
That bleeds from this heart
Is an unclean wound
There’s no solace in beauty
It scratches at my scars
Keeping the pain raw

Where are you?
This kills me again
And you are as beautiful as the first dew
and it still remains on my heart
And on my heart it stays…
heavy as the whole world
I know it will stop soon
I know that it will stop quickly
and you will disappear somewhere
You know I'm sick
We used to laugh like children
And you are the most beautiful to me
like that first kiss
which cinched my fate
All my signals are wrong,
they lead me to ruin
They are leading me to disaster
And around me the remnants of our love
My...
