Billy Nye, ask why
You're the one, don't deny
Ode to my son
She despised him
because of the threats
the promises
the cries
the screams


She abhorred him
because of the lies
the bruises
the scams

Hatred filled her heart
that was once full of joy
and from deep within
t'was all because of him
Abuse .. rather child abuse or spouse
abuse.. or any other kind..
should NOT be tolerated.
Too many scars....
You were a dog
And I was a cat
We'd play catch
Almost everyday
But one day you stopped
And I was confused
But it was a trick
I shouldn't have bought.

friends to acquaintances
together to alone
comforting streams to open oceans
warm flesh to rotting bone
from bed to soil
from earth to unknown
what will you say
when i lay in a place no longer called my home
but a graveyard
of silence and of stone

a stranger in a holiday card
voicemails become mementos
my laugh an ancient folk song
and the poems will attest to those
for the words shall live on
through dusk onto dawn
they will merely curve to your interpretation now
the neck of a swan
You told me once,
  " I love you."

At first I believed it.
But when you turned your back on me,
I saw what you've been hiding.

The hurt that washed over me.
The shattering sounds I hear in my heart.

The words you spoke
  I no longer believe.

Your love was a lie
I can not defeat.
Could it be
You're asking me
To go on a date
With you?

Perhaps, you are mistaken.
I'm not that easy.
But,
so shall I accept your request.

At first it was okay
But then it became all gray.

To simply put,
it was a disaster.

But I found something better,
the effort you put into the date
is something I've come to admire
And now you've become my desire.
How should I say this
I'm a bit strange?
Nope, not a bit
To be exact.
Just entirely strange.
But the strange is my nature.
The weird is my home.
Insanity is my sanity.
When we say goodbye
  doesn't mean we won't see again.
Not for a while.
Not forever.

When we say goodbye
  it means farewell for now.
We'll meet again.
Someday.
The day we went stargazing
I remember what you asked me

"What do you think of me?"

Of course
I thought you were amazing
Someone I can rely on
Someone I hold dear

I asked you the same question

You thought of me as the stars in the sky
Shining brightly
Light for the dark

You told me I was the light to your heart

The words you spoke
Feelings rushed over me

At that moment
I knew you were the one
My one and only

I am your star
And you'll be my sky
I lose my mind
To the question
"What is love?"
Thinking of it everyday
I don't know why
It's complicated
Love is complicated
