Grey Woman
She sips ten dollar wine,
orange-red, with it's quiet fire,
from a forty dollar goblet.
One never soaped, just rinsed
and sat over the sink.
Too soon again, cold will force her
to come drink.
Her gown is old.
Frail cotton seams have began
their outward spiral.
There's a rip, over a thigh, where
she caught the corner
of the great oak table.
From running circles
around a mad lover-man.
As she was laughing,
eyes wildly flashing brilliance,
knowing the inner workings of a man,
as her mind was madly...

Drowning
Another sunrise I wake to alone
Tell me my love
What's the purpose in this again?
You're in the next room but may as well be on another planet
The distance between us screams
How do I fix this?
I wouldn't know where to begin
The further you drift away
The more desperate I become
I can't pinpoint where I lost you
My only relief from this torture
The smoke I inhale... within seconds I go numb
Just going through the motions
Two strangers co-existing in this cold and lonely house
My skin starting to rot from your neglect ...
Tell me my love
What's the purpose in this again?
You're in the next room but may as well be on another planet
The distance between us screams
How do I fix this?
I wouldn't know where to begin
The further you drift away
The more desperate I become
I can't pinpoint where I lost you
My only relief from this torture
The smoke I inhale... within seconds I go numb
Just going through the motions
Two strangers co-existing in this cold and lonely house
My skin starting to rot from your neglect ...

NOT A TEXT... NOT A CALL...
As I sit here, tears streaming down my face,
I can't help but think of you, in a better place,
Having fun, living life, without a care,
Ignoring my calls, my texts, my despair.
I'm left here in the dark, alone, day and night,
Hiding from the world, too weak to put up a fight.
I try so hard to understand,
Why you left me, why you couldn't stand.
I loved you with all my heart,
But you've moved on, found someone new, ripped me apart.
I tell myself you'll come back, but deep down I know it's a lie,
You're gone,...

But you've moved on, found someone new, ripped me apart.

Left to rot
I was left there that summer, an end of an era
They left with sweet hugs and assurance of keeping their promise
The assurance of a steadfast connection
Of not being discarded even though we had to be parted
Though not a minute later it seemed,
They had forgotten their promise and left me out to rot
Like yesterday's garbage
They left with sweet hugs and assurance of keeping their promise
The assurance of a steadfast connection
Of not being discarded even though we had to be parted
Though not a minute later it seemed,
They had forgotten their promise and left me out to rot
Like yesterday's garbage

"Hey there, baby"
Hey there, baby”
Hey there baby, maybe you're just too stupid to understand
that I'll always love ya crazy
and that I wanna hold your hand.
Hey there baby, here we go. I probably ought to just let go.
But I ask my heart this question.
The damn thing keeps sayin', "No!"
Half the time I don't know what to do.
Why can't love be an easy way?
Instead we're left to struggle through
in all the games that Cupid likes to play.
Maybe this or maybe that.
Maybe maybe never was.
Or maybe maybe's answer from the...

The Dark Abandoned Road
An abandoned back road
leaves a darker side of town.
Deep impenetrable forest
up one side and down.
The road twists and turns,
every corner is blind.
A dim street light ahead
with only blackness behind.
Wet asphalt is cracked,
and the lines are all faded.
A stop sign is rusting,
neglected and jaded.
Weeds sprout through the cracks
that cross left and from right.
Potholes and frost heaves
create a treacherous ride.
To where it does lead,
there's no way of knowing.
It's too scary to...
leaves a darker side of town.
Deep impenetrable forest
up one side and down.
The road twists and turns,
every corner is blind.
A dim street light ahead
with only blackness behind.
Wet asphalt is cracked,
and the lines are all faded.
A stop sign is rusting,
neglected and jaded.
Weeds sprout through the cracks
that cross left and from right.
Potholes and frost heaves

To where it does lead,
there's no way of knowing.
It's too scary to...

Sleepless Nights
Awaken by the sounds of soft whimpers
Setting up to check on what's going on
to find a pillow full of unwanted tears a heart of brokenness.
Say it's not so
I can still hear your voice as it begins to softly fade away
Wait please don't go don't leave me
I promise to come by more to call more
The more I hear it gets better with time
the more I search for that time to come because
How am I suppose to go on
knowing that I'll never be embraced by your arms,
blessed with your smile and wisdom.
Gentle

Meet Me
Meet Me
Meet me in the middle.
I will be waiting there for you
as it is meeting in the middle
which ensures a love is true.
Meet me when the sun
is close to calling it a day,
with nighttime's slow approach
where we can watch as shadows play.
Meet me where the river
is forking to the left and right.
Each joining further downward
increasing in their might.
Meet me where the waves
gently roll kissing the sand.
Reach for me reaching for you,
joining hand in hand.
Meet me...
Meet me in the middle.
I will be waiting there for you
as it is meeting in the middle
which ensures a love is true.
Meet me when the sun
is close to calling it a day,
with nighttime's slow approach
where we can watch as shadows play.
Meet me where the river
is forking to the left and right.
Each joining further downward
increasing in their might.
Meet me where the waves
gently roll kissing the sand.
Reach for me reaching for you,
joining hand in hand.
Meet me...

Sunlit
I stared into those glassy eyes
and I cried cried cried
my tears dripping right inside
wishing to make them alive
even for a single second
I craved to fill the emptiness
to find the missing bond
feel less of the mess
then I closed them lids
as if sleeping they would say
but they felt heavy amidst
this forsaken sunlit day
I heard chatter from afar
gibberish and some laughter
I could not make sense at all

I just can’t
A world, stable and solid,
Suddenly wrecked and destroyed.
A place where I felt safe and significant,
Forever lost to the void.
Change in management,
A new direction, a fresh start.
But not for me, not for this future,
In this drama, I won’t play my part.
On this stage my safe haven will shatter.
Crumbling, tearing are the walls I once built,
I can’t step into the light, with my thoughts so dark.
I’ll remain stuck with my everlasting guilt.
Suddenly wrecked and destroyed.
A place where I felt safe and significant,
Forever lost to the void.
Change in management,
A new direction, a fresh start.
But not for me, not for this future,
In this drama, I won’t play my part.
On this stage my safe haven will shatter.
Crumbling, tearing are the walls I once built,
I can’t step into the light, with my thoughts so dark.
I’ll remain stuck with my everlasting guilt.

Bones (222)
The dog was away from the cottage
A lone for a run
Sniffed around by a tree
Paid his respect
Then walked on
Sniffed some more by a pile of dirt
Intrigued, dug and dug
Found a bone, gnawed at it
Then brought his treasure home.
His master was intrigued
Not very far to search to find
It to be a human bone.
He browsed the internet
Looked at faces of prersons recently
Reported as missing.
''It's me. It's me''
Whispered the voice of the
Lovely blonde co-ed.
A lone for a run
Sniffed around by a tree
Paid his respect
Then walked on
Sniffed some more by a pile of dirt
Intrigued, dug and dug
Found a bone, gnawed at it
Then brought his treasure home.
His master was intrigued
Not very far to search to find
It to be a human bone.

Looked at faces of prersons recently
Reported as missing.
''It's me. It's me''

Respite
A warning approaches from beneath the darkening storm clouds.
I need a brief moment to toast my inebriated inheritance.
My throat is raw, my neck tense and twisted.
My heart is a landslide of angst.
My heart races.
My face blushes.
The blood in my veins is thick with an ebbing flow of melancholy.
I need to quench my parched thirst.
A cruel hunger fills my heart with despair.
I don’t recognize my shadow in the distance.
I feel I’ve never appreciated anything in life.
I’ve never honored my refection, myself. ...
