Sacrifices



I could wait for you,
the man I’ve loved for years
I could wait for you,
to finally follow through
I could wait,
for days, months, even years,
but wait…
I already have.

yet, I could wait longer,
if you asked me to
for you to be the man
fulfilling my needs
waiting for you to decide,
if I am the one
you’ll want forever-after
it is only my love, pride,
desires, hopes, and dreams
that I sacrifice
I could wait for you…
even longer.

Compass


there is a point

an arrow blatantly directing the way
through thickets and thorns
abrasions foreseen
crossing the path of destruction

no avoidance,
there is only one way
hard as the path grows
steep as the mountain inclines
up, over, but there is no sideways

braced, barren,
unprepared
encompassing the rigid
road ahead,
convinced,
the compass must be broken.

Frozen

wounds cut deep
as the whitened snow bleeds
blood red,
the purple abrasion
seeps,
the eyes no longer seeing
heart no longer beats,
hands frozen
despairingly motionless
as a puckered mouth opens,
silent
timeless
stillness of winter night streets,
the freeze becomes her.

let me down easy

let me down easy
lay battered limbs
down softly
upon a feather bed,
a deep plush nest
tucked in warmth
swaying in forgiveness’s arms

thermometer of my heart
beat down the walls
to be rebuilt,
break apart
the pieces
that need be forgotten
and let me down easy,
lay mingled limbs
down softly
to start anew

skies


relinquished gestures rendered...
sincere
soft, the lips of heavens whisper
breeze brushing slightly
to pitter-patter the earlobes
of unease
forthcoming the rivers, of anticipation
changing course, the time-watchers error
bequests enchantment,
dreamers barer, the eyes of the sun
warmth hindered there
beneath savory sins
you can not bear
trollop along, squalling vanity
reflection not of mirror
seek to the skies
reflected in waters
it is there
found, bequeathed.

us is we.
loving me.
loving you.
loving us.
loving we.
we is us.
lovingly.

Another Blow


sinister gods of the universe
preparing, diligently
come forth
another...

blow, blow, BLOW!
all-encompassing
oblivious, scattered minds
feeling safe

blind-sided
by fates...too many
wrongful duties
to of which is the purpose?

insight to thyself
knowledge
good, not enough
bad, be of plenty

growth...
endured
each blow,
strengthing

knock down, no more
hurt, no longer
existence
forthcoming
