Eternity
I sit,
Quietly leafing
Through
The tattered pages
Of an old
Hymnal;
There is
Something here,
So near;
So remote;
I bow my head,
Eyes open,
Mutely asking
For mercy.
I cannot
Shake
From my mind
The inexplicable
Eternity
Written
On my heart.
Quietly leafing
Through
The tattered pages

Something here,
So near;
So remote;
I bow my head,
Eyes open,
Mutely asking
For mercy.
I cannot
Shake
From my mind
The inexplicable
Eternity
Written

Pumpkin
Perfectly perfect,
Pretty pumpkin patch.
Probably pessimistic,
But you'll get mashed.
Cut and shredded
Into a fixed position,
A crooked smile
All part of a vision.
No choice,
No options,
Shaped and carved
Into a fixed arrangement.
Out of your control
It decides how you look
And act
And feel
And every single attribute
Determined by the otherworldly figure
With a carving tool, ready to disfigure.
Jumping with joy,
Released from jail,
Jealousy fills all with a similar...

Impunity
By lengthy Wall Street greeding frenzy rope
the G.O.P. is twisting in the wind
with a policy ruin to rescind
by the legislation of brand new hope
which whole generations have been denied
due to thinking trapped in tradition's box,
wherein lie overestimation's stocks
to buy and sell with the fellows inside
and all those on the outs to be dismissed
into oblivion's bottomless pit,
where all the meek are expected to twist
In the noose breeze where no one gives a shit,
but now, the meek are slowly getting pissed...
at the tyranny...

The Secret Garden
I remember the day we met at the garden.
He reached out his hand and said he loved me.
He found my garden sweet.
Flowers were growing.
Still,I kept my head up,I could not accept defeat.
He said, ""Oh Mary,contrary,how does your garden grow?""
But I did not know how to reply,nor keep up with the flow.
I remember when we met at the secret garden.
Flowers were growing on my face.
On my skin,like colorful lace.
Despite it,our lives went on a normal pace.
One day,he asked me again...
Oh...

Remember
These memories left their impression
Molding me into this personality
—This version of myself
Defining my humanity
Some are powerful, and yet quite fickle
Vivid, detailed echos
Nostalgic call and response
Casts a grin from ear to ear, as I once did
Others macabre, sorrowful;
Remembrances of painful moments
Soul-crushing heartbreaks
Remorseful regrets
Two sides of the same coin
In a coin-purse of emotions
Those I wish to forget
Ones I never can
Many are inherited,
Passing the torch of...

To My Knees
The dreams I had
Are nothing
Compared to
What I’ve been given
Once I got back up
Are nothing
Compared to
What I’ve been given
Once I got back up

Watching Cars
Watching cars drive by outside the window
Everyone going through out their day
Taking their kids to school
Heading to their regular nine to five
Passing cars and people never knowing their path
Are they happy with their life
Do they struggle from day to day
How do they cope with life's demands
Why do I panic at minor inconveniences
My mind is too complex
It goings from zero to sixty within second
From calm to panic at the snap of my fingers
Watching cars drive by out the window
Home seems so far away from here

THESE THINGS I KNOW
I know I am not your first choice
I'd be lucky to be your seconds
Even though I knew from the start you're the one my heart beckons
I know at times I may seem more of a handful and just not enough
Others times I am but, still I think I'm totally unworthy of your love
I know I have many insecurities and also have far too many flaws
But, I am right here to testify to you
I'd be so fucking damn worth it all
I know from the very beginning you
liked me a lot and actually cared
Time has not been on our sides
and often I...

honest desires
ask me again
what is it I desire from you
it's as simple {& complicated} as love
I desire your touch
in places much in need of cleansing
on flesh hungry for passion as deep as your imagination
caress the dark corners
until they glow with the burn of it
sink your teeth into my aching need
& leave your mark in its place
whisper into the gale of my tempest
& watch all movement still at the sound
I will hear you...above all else
I long to see you soar
wild upon the updrafts & currents of your dreams ...

Alone
Too many holes left in your wake
like gapes in a vessel submerged
flooding every orifice of my soul
with despair and loneliness
Lingering on in this hallowed life
drowning, gasping for air to breathe
constantly wondering why you?
forever blaming myself for the deed
that robbed you of life on this earth
Always me... Never him...
never our beautiful child
who takes after you in every way
my last vestige for hope and reason
in a world that has grown dark and
unfamiliar...
You were the best part of us ...
like gapes in a vessel submerged
flooding every orifice of my soul
with despair and loneliness

Always me... Never him...
never our beautiful child
who takes after you in every way

unfamiliar...

The Sky's The Limit
Fly,
Fly high without looking down because the sky’s the limit,
Spread your wings and take flight,
There are no boundaries to your imagination and spirit,
Look inside you and feel the light.
Dare,
Dare to venture because fortune tends to favor the bold,
Look forward with faith and take the leap,
Find the strength that has always been within your soul,
Chase the dreams surfacing from the deep.
Free,
Free yourself of all your fears and you will truly understand,
You are a gift that’s heaven sent,
Your beauty and talent...

I Could Have Never Imagined
The nights are getting warm
And I feel so warm
Green stars and freckles
Lining my cheeks
I don’t feel so alone anymore
And I feel so warm
Green stars and freckles
Lining my cheeks
I don’t feel so alone anymore
