Don’t Go (I Have To)
I try
To conjure up images
Of me leaving
Nothing stops the inevitable
Except for my imagination
It always pauses on the part
Where we have our first hug
And I cannot seem to say goodbye
To conjure up images
Of me leaving
Nothing stops the inevitable
Except for my imagination
It always pauses on the part
Where we have our first hug
And I cannot seem to say goodbye

Moon Not As Bright
I looked at the super moon today
It’s not as bright as it used to be
Used to blind my senses, to my dismay
It’s now very faint almost dark to me
It used to brighten up my way
When I was lost in my deep blue sea
Brighter than the Sun during the day
Swimming in the heaven wild and free
Now all it wants is to stay away
hiding in the dark so I can not see
I have asked it to come and play
I even wrote a petition and a plea
I’m wondering why stars on display
Are all shining even brighter than she...
It’s not as bright as it used to be
Used to blind my senses, to my dismay
It’s now very faint almost dark to me
It used to brighten up my way
When I was lost in my deep blue sea
Brighter than the Sun during the day
Swimming in the heaven wild and free
Now all it wants is to stay away
hiding in the dark so I can not see
I have asked it to come and play
I even wrote a petition and a plea
I’m wondering why stars on display
Are all shining even brighter than she...

Cosmic inharmony
Projecting our desires upon the fragile
lessens the absolute
I pine, soulfully
doubting whether this upset
is merely a tremor in our confinement
or a cosmic inharmony
I am sceptical of our union
Perfect life on film
But behind the scenes,
the residuals are of resentment
feathered with spite
The words bleed off your tongue
like a symphony, amiss
You force feed me kisses
To appease the lies
That our coupling is crumpling
I agonize over the verbal bruises
that shade my...

The End
Some day,
I'll forget how well you loved me.
I've forgotten so much already.
I'll lose the things I keep.
So, will end our story.
A.R.M.

Too Soon
In a moment, we'll meet,
In a second, we'll caress,
In a minute, we'll kiss....
In an hour, we'll reminisce, on the passing of time, too soon....
Counting the moments....the seconds, until another brand new moon....
Rushing the minutes....
Cursing the hours....
Dreading the pace, of this sluggish afternoon.
What is it to time, that our time be too much?
What does the hour hand know of your, & my, cherished touch?
Does it not know, near you, I'm alive, but apart, I perish much?

Shining Stars
We are standing still
With our eyes shut close
Praying fate pulls us together once again
So come one step closer
Baby let’s run through
Forget the complications
Cause’ it's just you and me
Connected through the stars
We are standing, standing, standing far apart
But why does it seem like you’re right here
Staring right at me
Baby hold me in your arms
Look me in the eyes
Do you feel the love
The bond that we possess
Baby let’s run through
Forget the complications
Cause’ it's just you and me...
With our eyes shut close

But why does it seem like you’re right here
Staring right at me
Baby hold me in your arms
Look me in the eyes
Do you feel the love

Baby let’s run through
Forget the complications
Cause’ it's just you and me...

Once were through, you're gone....forever
Walk with me
Speak to me
Sleep with me
Moments with me
Love & adore me
No! You can't live with me
Tough!
Not happening
Yes we love each other,
but my space & freedom I love a whole lot more
Take some time
Grasp what I just cited
You can still come over
But only if you're invited
If you don't like the idea
I understand, you can move on
My way or the highway
Once were through, you're gone....forever

The Deserted Glove
One cold autumn morning in late October a glove on the clothes line decided that life with it's mate was boring & awful.
It persuaded the clothespin to render it's hold and blew away on the next breeze.
A little girl stumbled upon it and loved the pretty colors.
She took it home and her mother got notice of it and told her daughter to throw it away.
As she was about to throw the glove away in the garbage pail outside, she became sidetracked and left the glove on the ground.
A stray dog saw the glove and began biting & tearing at...

Redefinition and Resilience
She rewrote her story, banished despair,
With a lot of his money and without care.
A sculptor of flesh, she emerged with grace,
Her dreams woven tight in a bold new embrace.
Laughter’s soft whispers and scorn’s sharp bite,
Promised to heal each wound and blight.
She swapped her old self for a glimmering dream,
Each incision a step towards a vision supreme.
Liposuction started the sculpting spree,
Under the watch of a meticulous decree.
Then the lift and augmentation came to be,
A canvas reformed to her heart’s jubilee.

The Approaching Affair
There's a stirring within me and a sense of anticipation. It's both thrilling and terrifying. I see the outline of seduction on the horizon. It seems small against the backdrop of my 26 years but it looms over all my life now. It is him. He belongs to another woman but somehow our paths are drawing us toward the forbidden.
I think of him often and tuck away my reservations as carefully as I would fold away my grandmother’s quilt. My apartment is silent except for the soft breathing of my child, unaware of the turmoil in her mother's heart.
I find myself whispering...

Atoms
There’s a 1 in an 8 billion chance,
That if you stick your hand in the wall,
You’ll go between atoms and your hand will go right through
I used to think that was a huge number,
An impossible chance
Until I reached for you to stay,
And you kept walking,
My hand fades through yours.
That if you stick your hand in the wall,
You’ll go between atoms and your hand will go right through
I used to think that was a huge number,
An impossible chance
Until I reached for you to stay,
And you kept walking,
My hand fades through yours.
