Stone

Moving forward, turning corners, never finding home Keep listening, less speaking, and most are always wrong I go the distance that few ever roam Universal lessons seem to keep me on my own Often these tribulations can only be learned alone Weakened and discouraged I’ll stop but not for long My heart more calloused and hard like bone Whatever it takes to keep me strong With the wisdom of knowing…

Made in Heaven (Movie Recommendation)

Made in Heaven has been my favorite love story and film since I was 10 years old. It’s currently available to watch for free on Vudu. It’s from 1987 and you shouldn’t even watch a preview, you should just go watch the film. If it doesn’t pull on your heartstrings, then you’re probably not alive.

It’s one of the most beautiful stories ever written and I cry every single time I watch it. It ruined…

Unsuccessfully Coping with the Natural Beauty of Infidelity I SAID I KNOW

Fog

Here comes the dark Creeping like a serpent Like a thick, dark fog It twists as a vine in my heart

She trades sex for love He follows the current Laps it like a dog Ignoring my love above

She visits his dock Sees behind the curtain And I a slave or dove Without a tongue to talk

Here, there, everywhere She is lurking Like a black smog And I an angel without prayer

Eyes that burn with what it sees H…

Chances

I hope we can start where we never had stance The circumstances surrounding just wouldn’t allow it The messages once sent unclear in meaning I needed time to understand what I was feeling

Moments caught with you were a dance And while petite and frightened I still took a chance Your voice and eyes left me in a trance But it was really love at first glance

Your existence lifted my spirit Inside…

A Letter To My Future Lover

We were born inside fires I know your deepest desires

I know how you are wired I know your hands are tired

I’ll take whatever you give me Please though less misery

The bumpy waves were temporary Side effects of an angel in a hurry

For when I chose to see I saw it all But honey you are worth the fall

When my thoughts are with you It feels like deja vu

It’s not just my soul that aches It’s not just…

Prey

He gives himself away willingly It’s the wrong kind of humility Worshipping the wrong ministry Ignoring his own trinity

I watch her slither and prey Feasting on my bouquet Behind her a trail of foul play Offering her sex as a buffet

I laugh and applaud her Sex is not the only land I conquer I don’t offer my sex to any shopper Jealousy from me is something you’ll never conjure

I’m not your friend…

A Love Letter To Myself

Baby girl Let it go Let all the doubt Sink down To the bottom And drown Where all your tears Have settled and been found Pearls and diamonds at the bottom of the sea All the traumas in your life that you don’t need Baby girl Rise your head up Get above His half-empty cup When you smile the stars glisten When you laugh they all will listen The Moon now full and ready for kissing How the Sun warms…

Weeping Willow

She is not a tornado She is the wind needed to sail She is not ammo She is the scope needed in hell She is not woe Her smile is hidden under veil She is the result of a weeping willow Growing tall where she fell Where others only see shadow She is the path of a hidden trail She is not a black hole She is the breath from which you inhale She is not the wisdom of Plato Or the beauty of a comet tail

Crystal Ball

My eyes with such vision they are a crystal ball Things that I see leave me clawing up the hall

Revelations so heavy I’m breaking down my wall Time always settles me but every time I fall

Try to pick myself up but instead I will crawl Another day is gone without a hello or call

I’m beginning to think I’ll never hear from him at all And I guess I’m not as important as I once thought

Cotton Candy

I know he is feeling wanton And there is others that he is wanting

Silence keeps me a prisoner here Slowly I am starting to disappear

For now my heart feels like cotton Once hard, then soft, now rotting

Sweet and sour candy For the forgotten

You're Everything

You’re Everything

Taste his lips, his ecstasy Reminding me the best of me Warmth and love appearing Covering as gravity My temperature rising Coloring me like flowers And in this life a rarity Knowing this is ours All these hours No more towers You inside me hiding I’ll take us gliding Spread your wings Dive into my springs Ever flowing and never slowing My spiral just keeps going And love for you ever growing Ther…

The End

I want to walk with him until the end Stand before hell both condemned As long as he holds my hand I can face whatever God will send

I want to touch his face As the world falls, feel his embrace Holding me tight to ease the ache Protecting me from the bite of fate

I want to see his eyes at the end of a rainbow That is where our kisses go That is where our love will grow The end, together, is an…

Kites

His words take me to such heights Atmospheres I have never flown

In moments I am taking flights Through fields of the unknown

My soul must look like the Northern Lights I wonder if to him I glow

And if it is to me he writes It’s not possible this I know

But that’s a doubt for different nights When we’re flying over the Arctic Zone

His words as invitation invites Thaw the places I have froze

For…

Poisoned Nicotine

Crawling over distance Crawling over his pieces

Scents of his lover following me And her sour scent spreading jealousy

She’s black tar, poisoned nicotine He inhales her, feeds me misery

Like a cancer in the heart That’s where her disease takes mark

Two souls belonging Yet her presence keeps us from dawning

My sunrise faltered Love left alone at the alter

In desperate need to be rescued But he’s at…

Eyes Like Diamonds

Those eyes Create galaxies Heavenly bodies And earthquakes In my bones

His eyes Blue as a sky For my mind Shining diamonds A favorite prize

His eyes an ocean Deep depths to explore Creating motion Sinking evermore My heart his shore

His eyes like waves Crash into existence Can they see I was made for thee Without permission

His eyes cast rays Heating my skin Warming my days I can feel again For…

Death

I just sort of died. Nothing more to be said. No inspiration coming through. No motivation going out. Silence. Isolation. Despair. Gasping for an inch of life. A real connection. Anything other than stars to make it better. More than planets. Give me wonder on Earth. In man. Make me believe again I matter. Finding the best of the worst. In any cup. Empty. Depleted. Agony. I don’t want T.V. I don’t…
