in the shadowy damp
your arms keep me tethered
securing fragments as you cram
my ragged edges together
Thank you.

Let's empty out your pockets
The jangling keys and loose change
The wallet bulging with receipts
Your worn out lucky charm
An elastic band that's lost its stretch
That stray mint gone sticky
A hanky that's always slightly damp
And all the bits of fluff
That pockets are wont to spawn

Let's empty out your pockets
So I can put my hands in

Box
Take a piece of chalk
And draw some lines
Add a little lock
Stay within its confines.
Some people choose to cut themselves off, and yet feel like they are the ones who have been cut off.

Relief

You can't find relief...
In reasons non existent;
In predicaments ill-explained.

There's no relief.
In trying to peer over towering walls.
With feet on tiptoes,
and necks sorely craned.

Relief isn't found...
In wishing upon droplets
that explode as they meet the ground.
Everytime it thundered,
and then rained.

Relief is in the trove
when the heart lets go.
To acknowledge the error,
to move on...
And commit fully to the lesson gained.

South by Southwest
He walked the streets a begger
they buried him like a king
he played a six string guitar
he wore no golden ring

She had the voice of angels
survived a valley called death
then fearing no evil
she passed every test

They wrote the songs with sunsets
they walked the line together
they stood in a ring of fire
in love they burned forever
Tribute to Johnny Cash and June Carter

Depression is here everyday
And it never goes away
Go away! I yell into the dark
As if someone is there
I feel as if I'm a prisoner
In the dungeon's lair
And as always no one cares
Do I dare?
Dare to care about anyone but me?
Could it be,
Someone there?
Someone there to care?
No, just an image
That's the way it will always be
No matter how hard I try
I just want to get by
I go through life day by day,
I thought pain was supposed
To go away with time
But it's not
It's still here
Here with the fear
Fear that I will get hurt more.
