Morphine or Missing
I am to the point of when
Saying goodbye feels less
Like a wound and more like
A tranquilizer
I swallow it down with one
Waterless gulp
Hands clenched around the little
I own
In absence of who I love
There’s something about flying
A refuge in the sky far from goodbyes
Or maybe in between
Romanticizing the silence
Because I know I can’t be reached
Regardless
Are my ears under pressure
Or is that just suppressed feelings
Morphine or missing
There is no difference ...

Breathe Her
Her eyes bring an ache to my chest,
She is painful and sharp without apology.
Our culmination is a bloody wound just above my collarbone,
A scarred over bite mark.
My skin is just as new as the day I was born,
She has rebuilt my body with carnage.
The stitches that bind my flesh are held together by a wire that sprouts from deep in her veins.
If she leaves,
she'll take my life with her.
She is painful and sharp without apology.

she'll take my life with her.

We Tried
I knew she knew the hurt I felt
It broke my heart the day she left
We tried to mend our lives we spent
And tried to saw the fields we grow
Alas we failed our hearts betrayed
By love and hate we recently made
I thought we had a wonderful life
Time spent so sad as husband and wife
We could have made the world go round
Instead we laid the ground to waist
In our haste we broke the trust
That bound two lovers to sand and dust
I think we knew our lives were lost
The times we grew to hide our lust
As days went by our...

Viewing of a friend
Viewing of a friend
Not the way it was supposed to be
We promised to always be there
Shelters for each other
In the cold blistering rain
We've known each other
For as long as I can remember
All the secrets we kept between us
Will stay with me now
We saw each other through
The pain of love and love lost
But where are you now
For I'm hurt beyond measure
I'll think of the laughter
And the trials of growing up
In a jungle of pitfalls
Oblivious to them all
I know I won't forget ...

What I remember most
are your delicate
fingers
creasing the edges,
folding and turning,
twisting and shaping
the everything of
anything you
touch
into all the different
creatures of
creation
until finally and at last,
I rest warm in your
empathetic palm,
panting and thumping,
dripping with your
immaculate essence,
almost as beautiful
and imaginative
as you.
Then,
with your angular jaw
and your intimate lines,
you released me

Love Will Never Die
On the night my mom passed I had a dream. In my dream was this beautiful angel with large pink wings. The angel smiled and said to me, " dry your eyes child, your mom is tired and ready to go home." NO , I screamed, this is her home!
The angel replied - follow me, there's something I want you to see.
She pointed to the left and there stood my mom in a field of wildflowers. She looked so beautiful with long dark auburn hair and not a wrinkle did I see. My mom was smiling and talking with my grandma and grandpa, aunts and uncles and my brother Joe too.

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...

Where Are You?
I know you're out there,
Maybe reading my words,
I feel your heart missing mine,
Even if your voice, I've never heard.
There has to be something more,
A heart that gets mine,
So I sit here waiting,
In the darkness of the night.
I look for you blindly,
In every eye that catches mine,
But you're never there,
Your spark of madness, I cannot find.
Please come find me,
Before my light disappears completely,
It is all but gone,
Soon to be lost in eternity.

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.
