I should never speak of it, though I always do.
Friendship falters, like it always does.
I must learn to fall in love silently.
Never returned, but never deserted.
She goes
In and out my brain
Like links in a chain
Connecting me
But she shines dimly
As she walks away.

She goes
Where's my baby at?
When am I gonna get back,
What I used to have?
Why'd you clip my wings?
There she is
My angel sings.

She goes
Rocking the breeze
Like a digital image projected on the seas
Breaking up with the waves
Coming in with the tide.

She goes
Sitting in a room with empty chairs
Is there any trace that she was ever there
Because I've erased her footsteps
But she's not easy to forget.

She goes
Coming out of me
And onto this paper
She flows
Sometimes I wish she would just cry
Just so that I could follow her trail of tears.

She goes
Into my soul
Influencing my choice
Vibrating my vocal chords
Making my voice
But all I have is a whisper
I blink and I've missed her.

She goes
Running on this track
But not in circles
She's running off course
Never taking the path that's flat
Always up hill.

She goes
Renting out my heart
Borrowing it but never intending to return
What is left
Charred and burned.

She goes
Like a melody
Always in fast forward
But I can never rewind
Only replay
Without injecting myself in
All I want is one try
Maybe two, maybe three.

She goes
Wading in the waters
Weighed down by the pain I've taught her
But she shimmers in pools
Floating on the jewels
Like a diamond in the ruff
Or the roughness in the diamond
She swims to the edge of the island
And climbs out
Dripping wet clothes clinging to her body
Becoming her skin
Enhancing what's within
Hugging her curves
I'm so intrigued
Trying with my words
To get her attention
But she keeps on moving
There she goes...

Let's leave it this way.
With me all mixed up
And only knowing 1 + 1 = 2
With you not knowing
The full effect of what you do.

Let's leave it this way.
With us holding hands.
You because we're friends
And me compensating for lost plans.

I'll leave it this way.
With you only knowing the half of it.
And me never facing the situation
Out of force of habit.

We need to leave it this way.
Because if we don't, I'll lose you
And that would do me worse
Than any rejection could do.

We're leaving it this way.
With everything out in the open.
I haven't really said much
But these words were a token.
Lying on the chair bracing myself when
the gun begins to buzz.
Butterflies attacking my heart
While it races so quickly it becomes a life
Of its own with no body to control it.
And the needle emerges.
Ink seeping into the holes in my skin,
Flash floods rushing in the desert.
Unexpected feelings, hurting so good.
Satisfaction coming with each letter.
Branding me with memories: indelible ink.
Concentration in the eye of the artist.
Each moment being savored, as one letter
Forms into the next on an empty canvas
That soon will be a masterpiece.
These words on me for an eternity  
as a reminder of the people who live
In my heart just the same.
In what world am I accepted?
I am my own being,
Capable of defending my introvert pride.
In what world am I not accepted?
I enjoy strange things,
Such as a dark room enjoys the rare flicker of light.
In what world am I accepted?
I only have one answer, but nothing but a theory shows  through it.
I belong nowhere.
You see her
every so often.
In the flit of wind,
or lick of fire.

Entangled in the fine
mane of a wild horse,
as she ride bare back
across the plains.

Innocents
once encompassed
A porcelain face,
but time,
the enemy
stripped it away.

Pursed lips, and
Dandelion eyes
embedded in a meadow,
where the sunrise
is like late night
bonfires blazing high!

Warm winds stole his embers
and placed them in her heart.
The wind cradles its creation
as it whispers softly to her.

Prone to wander
for the hearts desire
craves the elements,
to run
to live
to die

The desires, that dangers,
the very last breath.
All or nothing.
Take the final step.

Small, smooth,
round pebbles
sparkle like jewels.

The the pristine waters,
where it rises and falls,
Like her chest
as she sleeps
in the light,
of the afternoon sun.

Touched by the elements;
with hair like gold wheat,
skin smooth as alabaster,
and the color of white tulips,
eyes of the meadow,
and lips curved
like mountains.

Strength to spare
for the weary.
As she journeys
deeper within.

Young she looks,
but wise she is.
She calls you in
while eyes are glowing,
with that mischievous smile,
her laughter is the echoes
of an early morning song.

Fire child of the mountains,
frail flower of the east.
Lady of fire,
never cease.
I have come to the temple
Of your body.  I kneel and prey
Like a sinner.  The holy water
Beads low on your forbidden
Tabernacle, sears my touch
In cleansing flame, what I do
And what will be done is all
For unrepentant confessions
And penances.  Let me truly
Learn the sacraments of flesh
Before I bathe in your wicked
Innocence and commit my sin
At being mortal in your nimbus
Chambers, let the mercies rain
After the fall of my fellowing
Creature, for this night is blood
Sabbath, and sacrilege under
A Pagan moon and let the dawn
In the rising sun of mute morning
Be my absolution, our benediction,
Let the moving waters enfold us,
Pure as lambs, as washed babes,
Baptismal.

someone will be tired
one before the
other
that's just the way
it is

I wait for impatience
in my lighthouse of uncertainty
& doubt is diverted
through sunlight-kissed waves
nearly the precise hue
of his eyes

someone will be tired

how could you love anyone
with such a hidden
temper?
the kind who stalks herself
through the night
never fully satisfied with
destination or
decision

she wakes, inadequate
& improperly
rested
the day is a haze of
unpaid bills
empty cabinets
& her rebellious toddler

don't be her

don't be tired

don't say a word

the imaginary harbor of hurt
shall subside with the
rush of
tomorrow's tide

& she'll still wonder when he'll tire
In a small town, she was born to a dead mother, her name was, Hope. She had no father, she had to grow up fast and be strong. She married at the age of eighteen, her husband left her alone with their son who died a year after. She ran away, never looking back, in the black forest, is where you'll find her house, she lies alone looking at the picture of the man she fell for, years ago and thinking of the child she's lost. She prays for death to knock on her door, she sings to all the animals and the children, she has no fear of the age old story of the woman dressed in red roses and the man who steals hearts and souls.
