you only love me in the silence I keep
I wet my tongue with white wine
quiet,
and when you slumber I speak
each syllable a liberation.
youre the missing lyrics
to the song that plays within my soul
i love you

Two opposing thoughts.
Belief, the toughest practice.
Ultimate Reward.

lately i've been thinking
how the flow of life
changes direction
because of that one decision

what could've happened
if i...
took that step;

answered that call;

opened that door;

what could've happened
would've happened
if i trusted myself more.

now i'm dwelling
on trapped possibilities
writing poems about
what could've beens.

heavy lids, batting lashes—
flipping pages through my book
while the moon is my lampshade,
i shall read it you.

Pages turn,
chapters end,
books are finished.
With resolution, and head
held high, I'll
fly away to somewhere
safer, where there's
less pain.
I try to love you,
but you just
push me away.
The heart is a
silly dreamer.
It sees life as it
should be...could be,
and not as it
really is.
The head sees what
the heart doesn't.
Emotions can be as
treacherous as a
rabid dog or a
razor blade.
I wish I were a
redwood or a rosebush,
or even a dandelion
just
swaying in the
breeze.
