I am doomed -
To failure -
If the past -
I repeat.
Like the cowardly -
Lion -
I turn back -
And retreat!
Why have I not-
Already learned?
I can't cross -
Those bridges -
Once I have -
Them burned!
And I'll have -
Plenty of time -
To stew in my juice!
Because I don't believe -
In compromise -

To Dick, with love...... 

He did not plant -
His seed inside.
Yet the roots -
embedded far -
And wide!
He was not there -
When I was born -
Nor was he -
On sleepless -
Nights -
Nor early morn.
In fact I was -
Fully grown-
Before he came-
Made his presence-
Known.
Yet when I think -
Of what a father -

Follow your heart's -
Desire!
Why aim low?
When you can reach -
Much higher!
Don't let anyone -
Talk you down!
If you don't swim -
You'll surely drown!
And why drown -
In sorrow?
There's always -
HOPE -
In each tomorrow.
It's faith that will -
Have you believe.
You've got to -
Make the effort -

Is it necessary -
That two hearts -
Shall not be as one?
It's love that be forsaking! 
Shall this truly -
Bring thee happiness -
In the long run?
Circumstances -
May not be best.
Yet loves good deed -
Shall surely attest!
And show itself -
To ages old!
Is it not for thee -
To truly uphold?

When you smile -
You light up like -
A neon sign.
Your eyes are -
Flashing -
Fluorescent bulbs.

In the heat -
The thick of night -
Avoid those -
Who thieve!
They alter their face -
To deceive!
Pounding -
P O U N D I N  G -
At the door!
With wrath and lust -
And greed!
Looking for a -
Subservient whore!
To whet the -
Insatiable appetite -
Which only fills up -
More and more -

If it be love -
That I aquire -
Than I shan't -
Push to go -
Much higher.
ONLY a fleeting -
Little fling -
Could bring about -
Such a thing!
And though -
Galvanizing -
Would be a thrill -
I'd rather keep -
My will.
This love is -
Nascent -
In the making.
And not worth -
The forsaking  -
For any carnal delight… Read full post »

I walk the labyrinth.
It's many twists -
And turns.
The spirit moving me.
Looking for the center.
The eternal flame -
That burns!
This unambiguous path -
To my lord -
Is often changing.
But it's destination -
NOT!
Though be it -
Some rearranging.
Reflective in -
My journey
May I never lose -
The sight!
Redeeming,… Read full post »

See me in the wind.
I'm blowing through -
The trees.
Hear me once again -
In the rustle of -
The leaves.
Feel my soft caress -
In the warmth of -
A  golden sun.
They lay me down -
To rest-
Yet my time on earths -
Not done!
I'm here!
Surrounding you!
Look for me -
And believe!
I think that when -
You do -
You'll… Read full post »

The hardest part -
Of loving thee -
Is giving up thy -
Claim to thee.
Sweet release -
Elusive, free!
To love, forbearance -
Thy heart be true -

A peremptory view!
A selfless joy -
Thy gift to love.
The needs of those -
Before thyself -
To place above!

Green-eyed monster -
At my door!
Looming large and -
Grotesquely -
As before!
Thought I chased -
The feind away!
But he came -
Came back!
Now I'm his prey!
UGLY!
Hairy!
Putrid green!
BIG!
FAT!
Making a scene!
Foul mouthed!
Drooling!
Flustered!
In a rage!
Who the hell  -
Let him out -
Of his cage?
OH! How I'd…

Lets sit and watch -
The world go by!
The window seat -
you and I.
Maybe too -
We can fantasize!
And look at all -
The passerbys.
The same old -
Wednesday .
The same cafe.
A simple salad -
Then on our way.
The doldrums of -
an uneventful life.
Myself and I -
An estranged -
Housewife.
Wondering what -
All those -

I'm a just a ship -
In a bottle -
On a journey -
Nowhere.
No need -
For a throttle -
Or a lifeboat -
To spare!
Up are my -
Sails -
To catch a -
Brave wind!
Clung to the mast.
But sadly  :  (
My hull is -
Quite pinned!
I'd join the regatta -
The festive gala -
So sweet!
But to leave -

The arms lay limp -

How does thou -
Feel -
That which one can not -
Touch?
How can thy humble eye -
See -
Through total darkness -
And thrice as much?
How shall one -
Hear -
Thy word -
Without audible -
Sound?
The odeur -

What hands and lips-
And body can not devour -
Shall soley be for -
Thy eyes to enpower!
Succulent eyes -
Taking you in!
Absorbing you whole.
Penetrating through -
All of your layers -
Far beneath -
An exterior skin.
Thy love be far more -
Than a body feast!
When thine soul -
Is starving!

I don't want to hurt -
Like this!
I can't stand the pain.
I want to wash -
Inside the ocean -
And feel my body -
Fluids drain.
I want to dance -
Among the stars -
Feel the twinkle -
Of them in my toes!
Running naked -
Into darkness -
Not be encumbered -
By my clothes.
Lay this weary body -

It's very strange -
These feeling new!
Not quite from me -
They take on you!
I felt it just the -
Other day -
When solemnly -
You looked my way.
The sky hanging low -
Like an old man -
Turned grey.
Ominous clouds -
Filled up our room.
I felt us inside -
A deep, dark tomb!
And I swore I… Read full post »

I got you packaged up -
Tied so tight -
With a bright, pink bow!
And I take you with me-
Wherever I go!
Your beauty boundless -
Lies deep within -
A little box that's -
Filled with sin!
I won't let the devil -
Play his tricks!
Though I would so enjoy -
Such barbarous kicks!
The box is hidden -

Hiding.....
In the shadows -
My reflection remained -
The same.
Until I was stricken -
By the catalyst -
Who held -
Eternal flame!
Burning alive -
On fire!
Afflicted by -
The light!
Wincing -
Pulling into myself.
Was myself -
My only blight?
Now I face -
My Armageddon!

Life is -
A series of events.
Mortar upon brick -
That once set -
Hardens.
We are all -
Carpenters.
Using our hands -
Our God given tools -
To build upon -
The  good earth.
Sometimes -
We have a vision -
Of what we want -
The layout to be.
But more often -
Than not -
It turns out -
Differently!

Without even seeking it, the truth finds you! Your responsibility to yourself is to unlock it! Resistance is the only thing that binds you! 

I've never known -
A moment of truth -
So real.
Never imagined -
The depth of love -
I feel.
How did I ever -
Live without -
True existence?
Living unfruitful -

Striking the change!
A metamorphosis -
Indeed!
From a bumpy -
Lowly caterpillar -
To a winged beauty -
So freed!
When once -
You've barely moved!
NOW LOOK!  -
You're fully grown!
I raised you to -
The heavens.
And now you've -
Truly flown!
And I'm so very -
