The Albatross
I used to think
those hanging an albatross
around their neck
were serious about penance—
those standing their ground
saying, I refuse to retreat
but will go down with this ship
because that's how much I believe;
or, deeply loved—
because any other behavior
would mean I did not
Yet, sooner or later
some kind rebound lover
bearing gifts and poetry
appears in shining armor;
or, perhaps another...

Life Hurts
Tender-hearted child
Dripping sorrow
From big innocent brown eyes
Cries
“I just want to feel happy”
As worries crowd the smile
from his once-laughing cheeks
“Will she…you know?
She meowed so sadly
She was shivering…
I’m scared for her!”
Me, too, my child…me too
But much more scared for you
And your pure tender gentle heart
Beaten often by new sorrows seen
In the world around you
My child, I would fight to keep your fragile heart
From breaking
If only I could
But I can’t ...

Beaten
I tell you the truth, but I digress.
The lies you breathe into me are Heaven sent.
I try to believe but life is stress.
Memories leave me broken and spent.
Bruises heal, I do not.
Give it your all, or it will be gone.
Smack me with lies of hate and betrayal.
I will survive, you will not prevail.
I have been beaten with many words.
The best ones were hers, but there are others less heard.
I chose to believe though they sounded wrong.
You cannot speak of love and criticize the song.
They have lived...
The lies you breathe into me are Heaven sent.
I try to believe but life is stress.
Memories leave me broken and spent.
Bruises heal, I do not.
Give it your all, or it will be gone.
Smack me with lies of hate and betrayal.
I will survive, you will not prevail.
I have been beaten with many words.
The best ones were hers, but there are others less heard.
I chose to believe though they sounded wrong.
You cannot speak of love and criticize the song.
They have lived...
