We Can Survive This
We still travel close
you and I
even in separation
we are forever
bonded by the children
Even in
anger, hurt
- the defeat
I can still love
from a safe distance
I'm no longer ashamed
that what I gave
turned out temporary
or that the heat between us
vanished in the midst
of the many changes
But we can't forget
that there were always
exterior forces
exerting unnecessary pressures
and pulling us from
the sanctuary of each other
And eventually,
we can't...

The Days I Remember
I remember the smell of rain on asphalt
The gentle caress of the summer breeze
The sweet taste of fruits so ripe
The music that was your laughter
I miss the happiness in your eyes
when home still welcomed us
The gentle caress of the summer breeze
The sweet taste of fruits so ripe
The music that was your laughter
I miss the happiness in your eyes
when home still welcomed us

Living a Lie
She feels empty
Empty…
Like a jar
With no use, anymore.
She feels broken,
Broken like a doll,
That is missing a leg.
He touched her when she said no,
Now she’s missing a piece of her,
But what?
What could it be?
It was dark for three days,
Just three days
until she was shocked back to reality.
She’s lost trust in guys, men.
Men, greedy pigs.
Men, some are nice
But in the end, they want the same thing,
Sex.
She’s just like you,
A normal girl,
Who liked to...

youthful remembrance
my youthful days flowed
like a river into summer,
while sweet fragrances danced on warm air,
hope carried within
a trusting vessel,
unknown to wandering expectations.
silhouettes of another
passed within reach,
connecting two souls,
interchanging,
an unintentional blaze
consumes both.
times change, their paths woven
with different threads,
still believing as one, again.
yet days passed,
days into nights, nights into years,
continuing on.

Taint
There was a valley where all the good names emerged a tongue could produce
Where the sun shone keener, where the moon glowed serener
Artlessness of the absolute reigned supreme, offering not a chance to deuce
That was a valley, where the wind blew puckishly, days passed ever merrier
Multitude of creatures roamed the mirthful haven, critters and crawlers alike
Abundant was the sustenance, absent was the neediness
Aliments unknown to remainders grew on trees, each yielded a ton belike
Such was the valley, only in tales were famine and uneasiness
...

Thee Invisible Heart
Deep in the basement, where science meets the street, Frankie Rocco and Sol, cookin' up something neat. Using Sol's genius, with glasses all misted, They craft a light-bendin' suit, mission enlisted.
Down the dusty stairway, Frankie hurries down, Checkin' on his friend's work, the coolest in town. Sol, the autistic genius, ginger afro like a microphone, Smiles big, glasses misted, saying, "It's done, yow."
On gritty Swansea streets, Eliza Cox locks the doors up tight, Social worker for Frankie, dealing with his plight. Lost his daughter Izzy to adoption, a pain...

familiar memory
this memory
is familiar,
it resembles
a place
i lived
as
a child,
with each
deep breath,
my feet
traveled over
that soil,
i breathe
that air,
i can see
the old
farmhouse,
the gone
faces
watching
over me
all so
familiar,
and how
i miss
them
so much.

Mundane Existence
He goes to the same job everyday.
He comes home to his wife every night.
They rarely touch each other.
Only on special occasions, like birthday's and July 4th.
There not attracted to each other anymore.
They don't make a fuss about it.
A few years back, they were fighting and swearing that they were going to leave one another.
When the fighting subsided, they both realized they were both a bunch of cowards.
Neither one had the courage to go out and meet someone else.
They don't despise one another.
They are friendly roommates waiting...

Cardigan.
Love when it slips through your fingers.
you are left with a discarded cardigan. Its
seen better days. It has been worn draped
from shoulder's who never felt the weight
of the world as it was shared and cared for.
A double-knit pearl one kit two with a
tight stitch which was entwined. You
never realised that years down the line it
was exchangeable. Now your favourite is
Left behind. It doesn't seem to
insulate or fit your form. It seems to feel

By The Sea
It’s been so long since he went off to war
And still her heart belongs to him
Hoping against hope she still yearns
For his return even when it all seems dim
So she lays there down by the wet sand
To the gods she prays and she begs
Wistful for him, for his embrace
As the waves crash between her legs
The upsurge caresses the sun-kissed skin
As the sun begins to set in the distance
The surf soothes her soul for a moment there
Wondrous of her love that is so persistent
But she...
And still her heart belongs to him
Hoping against hope she still yearns
For his return even when it all seems dim
So she lays there down by the wet sand
To the gods she prays and she begs
Wistful for him, for his embrace
As the waves crash between her legs
The upsurge caresses the sun-kissed skin
As the sun begins to set in the distance
The surf soothes her soul for a moment there
Wondrous of her love that is so persistent
But she...

Oh how I wish I could read your mind
And any damage I've done, I'd repair
Although I know you have stepped away
Please believe me when I say I still care
There's this wound that's deep inside me
But, you know that you've touched my soul
Sometimes it feels as though I'm drowning
In emotions in which I have no control
I know I should've talked things through
But, somehow I just couldn't find my voice
You probably think there is other options
And that's why we both chose our choice
I've never wanted to cause...
