The blue sky faded slowly,
she tread her route upon the grass.
The Meadows growing flowers,
swaying, as they make her laugh.
The knowledge and the the knowing,
the truth that sings with every dawn.
The love of life and growing,
always there,
since she was born.
And as she's sitting gazing,
living in a thousand worlds.
She hears a voice inside her heart,
hears a voice she knows is hers.
It tells her to go forward,
tells her, what shall be will be.
Confronting all those worries,
sailing in uncharted seas.

Inside a synthetic fantasy,
running from love's fall,
experiencing artificial destiny
when my life came to a crawl.

True life outside self-prison walls,
I can feel my purpose originate,
just another illusion's thrall,
twin ideas self-replicate.

(Why cant I keep misery at bay?!)

A lone perpetual memory,
I was just not chosen.
Reliving ancient agony,
I'm so cold, forgotten.

All senses lie to me,
truth hides unspoken.
Delusions are all I see,
I feel my mind is broken.

(Why cant this go away?!)

Unlit candles melt away,
under a cruel dark sun.
Colors fade back to grey,
watching a sadistic rerun.

Inside a forgotten cage
my heart lies sprawled,
unwilling to re-engage,
to her, enthralled.

How can I hope to see a new day?
If my heart still lies frozen..
Lying on my back
Amidst the manzanita
Gazing at the sky
Crickets and cicadas chant
Shrill and sonorous
As I leave myself and fly
A single raven
Soaring the wild blue yonder
All my torments left behind

-

I’ve counted every firefly
I think I counted twice
Tiny lights a’ flickering
The evening is so nice

Silently among the trees
Out here as nature sings
Watching while her children play
So many wondrous things

If I could only have one wish
I’d wish you here with me
Held so tight within your arms
Is where I’d rather be

But even though you’re far away
As nighttime does impart
Forever you’ll be close to me
Right here within my heart

So as I’m counting fireflies
I know you’re counting too
Two different spots, we spend as one
*To share our love so true
Good night
I'm writing this for you,
Flower thief. It's funny,
I told myself I'd never
Let it happen again, but I
Can only assume that I'm
The petal that falls once
You've clipped the stem.
Not to worry, my friend.
The breeze is quite beautiful
At such a day's quiet end.
You never know
How truly lonely you are
Until nothing's going right
And you have no one to turn to

susan
the fear of hurting
engulfs the weakest
seeks those
   that...can't cope
               seem beyond hope
            yearn for attention
just one positive note
   is desired
a warm hand
  to cradle a tear stained face
  that looks into honest eyes
will stop the pain
   briefly
but just enough to coax a smile.
sometimes that's all that's needed

I died
I lied
I cried
I'm a Woman
I'm broken
Unspoken
I'm strong
I been wrong
I'm a Woman
I been flattered
I been shattered
Like I didn't matter
I'm a Woman
I have a heart
I fell apart
Where do I start?
I'm a Woman
I hate
I mate
I believe in fate
I'm A Woman.
