The Woman You See
Ever the happy-go-lucky child
Idyllic upbringing into womanhood
Strong and self assured
Or
The façade of such a person
Checking off each passing day
Akin to the doomed Iphigenia
With no
fairy godmother
to
rescue
her

At a Loss for Words
No one has ever accused me of being speechless
Yet no one knows my speeches are inspirations from my heart
So it's no surprise to me I have nothing much to say
When my heart is empty and my mind has gone astray
I'm too old to care how my dreams have all died
And that my lonely existence isn't far behind
Not because the loneliness is coming to an end
But existing in this universe has always been pretend
I was never more than your imaginings
To ease your own lonely days and empty nights
But now you're on your own, I can't relieve your pain ...
Yet no one knows my speeches are inspirations from my heart
So it's no surprise to me I have nothing much to say
When my heart is empty and my mind has gone astray
I'm too old to care how my dreams have all died
And that my lonely existence isn't far behind
Not because the loneliness is coming to an end
But existing in this universe has always been pretend
I was never more than your imaginings
To ease your own lonely days and empty nights
But now you're on your own, I can't relieve your pain ...

Lonely
I miss you, nothing else to say.
Siberia's the heating of my heart.
Why was it impossible to stay?
To give us a fresh new start.
I guess I have to stay alone.
Your place is always there.
In fact, my chest contains a stone,
its pulsations I can't bear.
I depend on myself now.
I drew my force from you.
I have to go on but how?
I really .... have no clue.
It's sad to be alone.
Feeling lonely burdens me.
We won't really have a home,
where will I even be?
I had a purpose and a dream.
Now the wind...
Siberia's the heating of my heart.
Why was it impossible to stay?
To give us a fresh new start.
I guess I have to stay alone.
Your place is always there.
In fact, my chest contains a stone,
its pulsations I can't bear.
I depend on myself now.
I drew my force from you.
I have to go on but how?
I really .... have no clue.
It's sad to be alone.
Feeling lonely burdens me.
We won't really have a home,
where will I even be?
I had a purpose and a dream.
Now the wind...

Flesh and Bone
There, just beyond the pain,
lies the peace.
The reach will cut, thus the blood
is my release.
Sequestered down beneath a place
where nothing speaks.
A counterpart in death a soul
does seek.
For in the silent black a
voice will scream.
Although it goes unheard you
feel it’s dream.
Within a glimpse of time
you’re not alone.
So taste me in the dark,
I’m flesh and bone.

standing wall
she left
bits
and pieces
of her soul
chipped away
like stone,
lying around
after she
had finished
building
a wall
around herself,
keeping hope,
emotions
and
the world
locked
far outside.

Caretakers
How many memories, does one have left when the
pickpockets are turned loose and the silence echoes
the sounds of the Lionel trains and Mr. BoJangles?
Now worn-out shoes have come back to haunt me,
and my sister's Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep
somewhere in the attic above. But the lunacy of it all
is that no one cares until the pickpocket steals their
smartphones and Big Mac...and then the caretaker
dance is their own shadow growing old.

Forgotten
I am from the clan forgotten.
A heart ill sought both torn and rotten.
In castle keep ‘neath stoney ground,
Cold death awaits the seekers found.
In solitary loss eternal.
Burns a darkness most infernal.
Goodness died on the ends of whips.
As screams and curses fall from his lips.
Contorting pain through shifted shapes.
A fractured mind seeks to escape.
Within the sorrow softly weeping.
Comes the wicked slowly creeping.
Nothing dwells behind the mask.
The wine has soured within the flask.
Sorely missed, the...

Firefly
A soft beetle with
a little doom,
I bleed my light
under the moon,
the midnight hour
peaks through dark,
I'm roaming around
with a little spark.
Giving off light to all I see,
but this firefly,
who rescues me?
I don't see a light
other than my own,
but I keep flying here,
shining all alone.
The trees say hello
with swaying leaves,
their lullaby at dawn
puts me at ease.
darkness I've conquered
through another night.
But I pray tomorrow
another firefly is in sight.
a little doom,

Broken Compass
So it begins again...Just as sure as clockwork of past memories flooded the mind. A condition of senses like drowning, overflowing, and unable to breath. Time has no start...Time has no end...Time knows your death, your lay of rest. Last rays of light unraveling towards the fortress of the sun. Ebbing sunset turns to dusk...Warmth of day, downward of goodbyes, the sun exits the sky...Sinking from earth...Alpha it births...The Darken Night.
Caught in the quiet...Quiet is the breeze caught in the winds of...
Caught in the quiet...Quiet is the breeze caught in the winds of...

Not If I Can Help It
A glass of port to soothe the heartache.
Ever smiling to hide the sorrow of the empty chair at the diner.
A warm breeze that carries her scent that she left behind by mistake.
Touching the night with humility to remind myself I am human.
Nights are so bleak I dare not trust boredom to keep me company.
Ever alone in a world of possibilities I must move forward with a determination only the lonely can understand.
Ever smiling to hide the sorrow of the empty chair at the diner.
A warm breeze that carries her scent that she left behind by mistake.
Touching the night with humility to remind myself I am human.
Nights are so bleak I dare not trust boredom to keep me company.
Ever alone in a world of possibilities I must move forward with a determination only the lonely can understand.

adventures
my yesterday
destination
balances well
with my
unknown
tomorrow
adventures,
i wish
i were
there already,
where
i have
no claim,
no idea,
but, i
would not
be here,
this loneliness
place
adding up
so much,
i am
abandoned,
the thick
vine fingers
grab me,
where
will they
take me.

Are You Here Like I'm Here?
Do you love like I love?
Do you hate like I hate?
Do you look below or above?
Do you feel like it's too late?
Do you hurt like I hurt?
Do you feel hope or just wait?
Are you dirt like I'm dirt
Or do you come from a star?
Does the type of dust really matter
If dust is all we are?
How many circles must one walk
To have made it this far?
Do you grow like I grow?
Do you tire like I tire?
Do you know what I know?
Do you walk through the flames or sit by the fire?
Do you wonder like I wonder,
have the same thoughts...
Do you hate like I hate?
Do you look below or above?
Do you feel like it's too late?
Do you hurt like I hurt?
Do you feel hope or just wait?
Are you dirt like I'm dirt
Or do you come from a star?
Does the type of dust really matter
If dust is all we are?
How many circles must one walk
To have made it this far?
Do you grow like I grow?
Do you tire like I tire?
Do you know what I know?
Do you walk through the flames or sit by the fire?
Do you wonder like I wonder,
have the same thoughts...
