I've never seen beauty so devastatingas in the linesthat trace our hopeand fall from the stars.
I balance you on the end of my pen.Teetering between loveand letting go.
I build boxesand place them at your feet,to measure the distance between dreams and reality.
Steep fall to the groundshatteringlike clay pigeons missed by bad shotsand unsteady hands.
I bleed to un-break you,un-mending me.I fall to save you...now who will save me.
Birthing hope from the madnessthat perches on the fenceof our once perfectdreams.
Through windows,in wishing wells,whispering in the wind...that's where I find you.
Bridge burned from end to end,and I don't miss you anymore.You delivered silenceI've birthed freedom.
I need to work on me.The mewithout you.
In that wounded place,buried betweenmy ribs and letting go,I miss you.
the flesh covers the bone and they put a mind in there and sometimes a soul, and the women break vases against the walls and the men drink too much and nobody finds the one but keep looking crawling i...
I'm two days away from day after tomorrowCounting the hours to my upcoming sorrow Suddenly I lookinto the eyes of my childThen all sadness goneas I smile the way she smiled
Just knowing that you are there and you would be thinking about me while I am thinking about you makes my heart feel serene and contented.
Cold feet under a warm blanket, steam over an empty mug--rain splatters on dry window pane--open journals of closed memories... tears of laughter and joy of pain... schmaltz of diametric morning.
Almost MyselfOn a twilight road, I met a young man with my face. A denizen of some distant dust devil in drifter denim. We stood and eyed each other, then, with a look of mutual disdain, we parted.
I can't love anymore.Except for you...I love you so much it hurts to breathe.
Careful.The fall is quick,steep,and permanent.
I was just an option.Blown easily to piecesand offered to the skyby the sweet laced painupon your lips.
You are the poemthat sticks in my throatteaching me to whisperwith the voice of my heart.
I die a little,In the echo of your silence.
