I fell in love with the dark of the mountains
And the lights in the October sky.

in a silent house

i hear her crying,
him dying,
and the dead ladybugs flying.

Don't speak directly to her--
you will melt the skin  off
  her bone-frame

Instead, find the parallel-words--

ones that will float alongside her
as she walks, so as she is able-
she can pluck them--  like
wild roses along the highway

Sometimes, love takes a
   tremendous
amount of creativity--

the name of the game is
  its destination
not the control of its path

when you're a star, watching a planet collapse in on itself … into dust, into nothing.

These days my heart burns with selfishness
Even my prayers are all for me
I have no room for anyone else

a little revelation.
where did my mind go when i left my heart in the car?
i let my mind wander a little too far.
where were my good intentions, i forgot them at home.
leaving my pride and my bad ones alone.
it got to my mind, and when it came back
my heart found the remnants and then it turned black;
but sense came along and pulled them off their throne,
and brought them back to my good intentions at home.
I forgot about love and only liked the white noise for a while.
