Here we are
planted, rooted atop
another’s base
seeking shelter under
an intricate fan
of drooping mango leaves;
it’s fruit hangs heavy

and stare out at the ripples
in the lake disturbing the peace,
and the icy wind blows,
taunting me, daring me to stay.

She's a beacon for my life,
Angelic her demeanor,
In a frame of summer light,

That embrace the tender sands,
Footprints languish in our . . . more

Let Me Dry Your Tears
Please tell me how you feel,
I can not stand to see you cry,

For I know they plague your mind,

to spread to me,
igniting my calm spirit,
making me fight for my very existence,
and for my right to believe.
I am not you,
You are not me; . . . more

I lock myself away, fill my space with white noise
to avoid the rantings of you;
A caged bird with no escape, I hide.
Peace and calm call to me,
elude me in the presence of you;
Your words beat me . . . more

You wash over me,
cleansing me,
taking my tattered edges,
and transforming them
into something beautiful.
You see beyond
my brokenness into
a heart that is pure;
You see beyond
my woundedness . . . more

The thickness of the night will drape the sunset down
Will take her vivid colors low to have a way and wish
She lay there in full repose in the thickness of the night . . . more

No matter the weather, nothing can quell the flames,
And every flicker in my life forever grateful,
Keeping my heart warm to life in the hardest . . . more

You looked at me and told me I smelled good.
I had just opened my eyes to find you
Staring at me, fingers pressed to your nose.
I looked at the seagulls, hovering, hoping

You wander the continents, searching for a relic of something lost-
a love not given, or one that was taken away too quickly.

the way I would try on
an expensive leather coat or
a pair of high heeled boots,
mulling over the decision
in front of a mirror
and the sales lady,

Drift by as the river gently flows,
Thoughts of her infused in morning sunlight,
Hypnotize upon a dancing golden glow,
Her face upon the surface softly . . . more

and fanned the flames of discontent;
Sometimes I wanted to shout and scream
and cry my eyes out, but I wasn’t . . . more
