"If theres something left . . . I'll fight for it", he said faintly.

I didn't need an "if"
I had wanted a "because"

EYES IN THE WOODS

Eyes eyes
eyes in the woods,
eyes eyes
under dark green hoods.

Eyes in the dark
eyes in the light,
eyes shining dim
eyes shining bright.

Eyes filled with fear
eyes coming near
Eyes like twinkling devious
burning flames,
Eyes eyes eyes
they are never the same.

Eyes say yes
eyes say no,
eyes are the portals
from where all imagination flows

Eyes eyes
eyes in the woods
eyes eyes
eyes under dark green hoods.

She's as bright as the Sun

She laughs, as bright as day
She mourns with the passion of ocean waves

She giggles, with the pitches of a child
To be returned with glances and mild laughter

She takes each hand,
Gently squeezing in return

She understands and accepts
All that happened and will happen

Only hoping that someone will notice
. . .

DRY TEARDROPS

I cry
Not for me, not for you
Not in sympathy nor in pity

I cry
At how easily I can put up a blank face
And not hide behind that fake smile

I cry
Because of the repetition and
every thing I N B E T W E E N

I cry
The mental and physical, tearing me little by little
Each time, only to be scarred

I cry
Because this is making me stronger,
But still hurting, for each new second

At Last

Enjoying the small caresses, kisses, hugs. Your presence, your scent, your final note of goodbye. All the memories aching, wanting to swim away.

But now

Enjoying the wind, the air, the woods. Hearing my breath with each exhale & inhale. Feeling at peace within myself & gracefully taking each day with excitement, eagerness, curiosity & boldness.

everything in between

All hurt was enough, to have me detracted, to not want you.

Back Not Front

when you
Leave
my ******* is raised,
an image imprinted on
your **backs
