Desperate Love

she's off again

plunging head first

into the walls of a mans heart

repeatedly beating

down the doors

of despair

lonely cries emerged

embraced

in the arms of a stranger

this moment

this night

when the conscience goes quiet

insecurities hide

all is motionless

in the darkness lie

two hearts fluttering

racing against time

into the never-ending night
validating desperate love

clinging there

resonating hope
two passionate hearts
unlocking

Listening Gem

I told you,

once.

I have nothing to give,

but myself

I wanted to hope you were not listening
my words went unheard

lying in wait

a precious stone

it was forseen

one day a curious soul

should stumble across

this abode

gleaming there

a sparkling gem

hues of blue and green
hidden beneath the darkness

in life

bound to be picked up

twirled within the fingertips

of appreciation

You knew it would happen

You fortold the light

perhaps,

I was not listening

as our time

passed us by

unknowing

 love shared

unable to sustain

not listening.

when curiousity

rubs the soul clean

shining through the

pearlish light

as it naturally must be

You knew it would happen

an opal of oppurtunity

I just was not listening

perhaps you planted the seed

to lie in wait

patient

as our time passed us by

I told you once.

I wish you would have listened.

I wish I did not.

turned now to a ruby

in the heart

a diamond in the eye

of another

I cherish

what never was

never could be

sparkling

in the darkness

gleefully listening

Finding the Strength

can I find it behind the rock?

is it lurking inside the cabinet?
maybe across the sea,
on some pleasant retreat?

the courage, I seek
to stay strong in this moment
of weakness

avoid filling the void
as it is irreplaceable
seeking out what is not
manifesting desire
where otherwise is none

flooded eyes and foggy brain
an emotional turmoil bursting inside
don’t hide the anguish
let it be heard, let it be seen

this storm that has risen
doubt and anguish
ever confusing
pulling you this way and that
finding the strength to remember
there is reasoning, meaning
behind all else otherwise
deemed demeaning

loves gained, loves lost
hopes inspired, hopes deminishing
confidence rising, undermining overwhelming
titter tatter, the life scope goes
escape, if you must,
but what shadows must go?
which will follow, should your escape
be in vain?

in search of the sanity
of which you have never
really gained


Maybe I can find it
out there on some pleasant
retreat...?
See you in a couple of weeks!

Lady of the Pond

if i may

swine dive off the tip top

of the old pine tree

deep into the murky, cold

pond below

gliding along freely

in dark blue midnight cool air

water gliding through

nude limbs

becoming one

water and body

mind and soul

exasperated

floating in the center

gazing amongst the star lit sky

breasts open to the lightening

cool breeze, mist ensued

across damp vulnerability

exposed, hidden

as one

allow me to sink

deep into your quiet darkness

to spread wings

breaking the depths fo the waters edge

lady of the pond

fly
