Missing
Not so very long ago,
I did not know I needed you.
None of us did—
it's hard to miss someone you never knew.
Now, your absence looms large
every time you leave.
I did not know I needed you.
None of us did—
it's hard to miss someone you never knew.
Now, your absence looms large
every time you leave.

that flower (shed its skin)
not
as young
and naive
as the
year before,
eyes
watching
around himself,
possessions
tucked away,
don't
stand
too close,
i will not
be responsible.

Thought
Heart laden with hope,
Free from care?
You may then hear it
Whisper: ‘Dare’
Discontent with joy,
Too good to bear?
Heed then the urge:
‘Compare’

Waning
Too soon
we find
the aches in
our joints
begin
to echo
the ones
in our hearts
we find
the aches in
our joints
begin
to echo

Night
The night is long
and full of pain.
Does little darling
have no shame?
Lies stain like coal,
in Satan's name
go wash it all
out in the rain.
and full of pain.
Does little darling
have no shame?
Lies stain like coal,
in Satan's name
go wash it all
out in the rain.

Tear stained art
I lay in the dark.
Sweet pain crisining my back.
Each stab and slash making my story.
Rooted in disaster.
Engraved in beauty.
My life etched in elaborated scars.
Sweet pain crisining my back.
Each stab and slash making my story.
Rooted in disaster.
Engraved in beauty.
My life etched in elaborated scars.

sadness
her hair hides
the fragile smile
as tears find
their way down
her cheeks,
dropping away
into emptiness
and confusion,
passing lost hope
and what was
once happier days.

fun
i am
tired
of being
serious
about being
serious
all of
my time,
where is
the fun,
the laughter,
can't you
see
the humor
in most of
our lives?

Ravening Heart
You beat so fast,
so harsh, so dark.
I will settle in
fortresses of sleek glass,
just to escape
your raving beats.
so harsh, so dark.
I will settle in
fortresses of sleek glass,
just to escape
your raving beats.

Water Flo's...River's Run
Life goes
Life gone
today is here
tomorrow is not
let me listen
without speaking
let me love
without question
let's hold hands
while we can...
