I chase you like a dog,
relentless, unwavering,
with legs that tire
but never stop,
fueled by a never-ending desire
to be loved.
My eyes see past your soul,
piercing the depths of your being,
I've become a secondary character
in my own movie,
obsessing over your every move,
every breath.
You're the director,
and I want to be a star,
but alas, I'm just a pawn
on the board,
my heart beating to the rhythm
of your name,
a prisoner of my own passion.

He reminds me of the color yellow
WIth the glimmer in his eyes
Or the joy unfurled when we laugh together
Or sometimes he reminds me of the color white
When I look at him and see a future
Of children giggling as they run around the old German shepherd
White roses blooming
Sometimes I see the color green in him
When he speaks to me wisely
Like an ancient willow tree
Crooked branches blessing me with shade
Leaves of insight, sheltering me.
I see the color red in him
When our limbs are tangled
Dancing in love's sweet design
Tossing, turning, heart's beating as one.
In harmony and passion
And wisdom and grace
And laughter and Joy
I love my Kaleidoscope man.

The color of the world fades to a dull haze
Vibrancy mutes,
Like a song forgotten
My body floats away
Like a leaf severed from it's branch
The world dissolves
Like sand between my fingers.
The woman that birthed me
Turns into someone I don't know.
I'm numb
And she's not real
She's just an illusion
A figment of my imagination
How can I escape it?
This dream
Starts to feel like a nightmare.

The bird with broken wings watches as the bottle of corrosive liquid empties
Searing through her esophagus
Eating away at her gut.
The taste, the smell
Bitter metal engulfing her tongue
The tongue that once told the fox
"Stop it. You're hurting me"
But the fox didn't listen
So she lied there
Motionless as the fox had it's warm meal
Shattering the thin fragile threads of her families bond
Erasing her dreams
Ending her future.
Calming her eyes
Her body becomes a frozen sculpture,
Rigid and unyielding as the waves pound against her
The bird that just hatched,
Unable to swim out of the riptide
Trapped beneath the swirling vortex
Head under the sand.
Sounds of the ocean rolling into her eardrums.
Not in the air, yet she is free.

In shadows deep, where sinners tread.
A servant lost, his soul in dread.
He stumbles through the night so cold
A story whispered, seldom told.
His mind a battlefield of pain
Where echoes of the past remain.
A sheep, he seeks the Shepherd's grace.
Yet finds but darkness in its place.
The acid kiss, a fleeting high
a vulnerable, desperate cry.
He chases dreams that fade like mist
In hollow moments, lost, dismissed.
His heart, a vessel worn and weak
In silence, screams the word's he'd speak
Who am I now? What have I done?
The shadow cast beneath the sun.
He wanders through the maze of sin.
A battle fought, a war within
The sheep still seeks a shepherds hand.
A sinner's search for promised land.
In twilights glow, a tear descends.
A broken man who still defends
The remnants of his fractured soul,
His fragile heart seeks to be whole.
Through darkest nights, he fights to see.
The man he dreams he still could be.
For in his depths, a truth runs deep:
Even sinners, servants, and sheep can weep.

Candle, candle
Burn so bright
Guide me through the shadows tonight
Wispy smoke
Fill in my nose
The lovely scent
Of burning rose

Tears tell stories
Of happy and sad
Of times you were lonely
And times you were glad
They can come like the rain
On a cold, stormy night
Or an occasional sprinkle
Of joy and delight

Coronavirus
Don't come back
If you will
I'll give you a thwack

Tears dribble down my skin
Dripping like rain, down my chin
Wondering if he'll ever come back
Into this world that's as dark as black
Shivering, shuddering down my throat
Drowning in sorrows
In my own boat

I follow my dreams
They follow me too
I'm never alone
Only with you
Every step
Every breath
There are 2 copies of me
One is useless
One is good
Which is which?
Nobody knows
Only the shadow that goes wherever I go
