Free me now and leave me lonely
take your broken heart from mine,  dry your eyes, these tears won't save us
as we tread our final mile.
Scattered dreams and shared belongings
gathered up and set apart,
works of ours, once shared, now reeling,
silent, as we break their hearts
Send me words like gentle fingers,
poetic kisses, soft and slow,
send them here upon the ether
thoughts abound on starlight glow.
Words can bring such sweet sensation,
skin on skin fires lovers eyes,
hips and hearts in slow rotation
quiet moans and sated sighs.
Gently take my hand and lead me
to pleasure's peak, my heart's delight,
your words will be this souls companion
on this lonely moonstruck night.
I wandered through the forest
whispered to the rushing pine
looking for a new direction
but your face I couldn't find.
So I climbed atop the mountain,
screamed your name into the dark
skipped stones across the mirrored lake
as you once skipped my heart.

When I woke within this aching
burning bright, my one desire
you were hiding there in shadow
standing tall with eyes of fire.

You lay me down and took me
as the moss it cooled my spine
and I shivered deep within the haze
of your skin touching mine.
We stayed that way til sunset
seen by none but us alone,
but my screams were heard as echoes
In the valley down below.
the spirit of a gypsy wind
took his hand she guided him
into a land of fond rapport
and there he remained
forevermore

I haven't written in a while,
Nothing worth calling poetry.
I haven't thought in awhile,
Nothing worth calling thoughts.....
Stop questioning life, it will drive you insane.

Mama it happened again
He did those things to me
made me feel ashamed
shh, it’s our little secret

Mama, don’t leave me with him
What if he comes close
If I can feel his breath on my skin
Shh, It’s our little secret

Mama trenched gashes caress me
but I can’t feel it anymore
Come a little closer, can’t you see?
Shh, it’s our little secret

Mama, I cut a little too deep,
took too many pills
Please let me fall asleep
Shh, it’s our little secret


Mama, I see you crying
"Beloved daughter and friend"
I’m not sorry,
I was so tired of trying.

Shh, it’s our little secret, our little secret, our little secret.
written when I was 15 - in a group home for foster kids.
I would have written a verse to-day
but I ran out of things to say
with that said I'll end this verse
so I can collect my leather purse
as I must go to the general store
to purchase a mop to do the floors
whilst at the store I'll buy some jam
and a few slices of smoked ham
as it is nearly seven am Australian time
now I shall end my silly rhyme

The sea has shown me
Many things
Like how to float
How not to sink
To be aware of danger's tales
To live amongst the sharks
The whales
The sea she cures my sores
With salt
Waves that shave my
Every thought
The wind she sends
A scent that melts
Everything I thought I felt
In the sand a name was carved
The waves they came
& Dissolved it off
Nothing left of me and you
I watch the sun pass by the moon
And slide my body through the sand
And swim unseen
Till I see land
Swimming in love
Drowns me
