she knew then
the ways of this world

she knew then
of clenched fists

she knew then
her future
her place
her face, and all the weight that it carried

she knew then
of all the doors shut

she knew
she knew
she knew

of incomparable power

of beautiful strength

of divinity and all that is sacred

of wisdom and benevolence

she knew
she knows
we know


so she straightened her crown and rose

when you sleep it's like you never cried,

breathing soft and steady, wet cheeks dried.



when you sleep it's like you never lost,

boundaries weren't broken and lines weren't crossed.



when you sleep it's like you're still there,

and you still smile and you still care.



when you sleep you look young as I,

no crease in your brow and no old worn sigh.



and so if sleep is death just being shy,

is it still so wrong,

to wish

to die?

Is it the words whispered
in secret corridors
i love you

are they proclaimed boldly
from roof tops
I LOVE YOU

Or maybe love
sounds like laughter
giggles shared only between two

what if love has no noise
its beauty is similar to a sunset
seen and felt
but never heard

I died at my death
And that was a shame
My sun went to nova
With no one to name

I died at my death
And that was a pain
My song undersung
And nothing to gain

I died at my death
You called out my name
Weeping and broken
But no one's to blame

I died at my death
I went to the grave
What I spent of my duty
My heart couldn't save

I died at my death
They put up a stone
My flesh fall to rot
Til there's nothing but bone

Poetic T
People think,
    "I Love You,

is the most romantic
                     word.

But in truth,
          "I've Missed you,

means true love.
A for apple B for ball
You're cute baby beautifully small
C for cat D for doll
You baby is the sweetest of all
E for egg F for fish
Baby you're my fulfilled wish
G for goose H for hen
I look at you baby forget all pain
I for ink J for jar
You're baby my brightest star
K for kite L for leaf
Baby you're my strongest belief
M for milk N for nose
You're baby more fragrant than rose
O for owl P for pea
Baby your smile makes me happy
Q for queen R for rain
You're baby my richest gain
S for sun T for toy
Baby you're precious be girl or boy
U for umbrella V for van
Loving you baby is all I can
W for wool X for xylophone
With you baby I feel never alone
Y for yak Z for zoo
Rule my heart baby only you
A childish poem, for Lady RF, prompted by my comment on her poem Tree House.


We have got...
Just two moments
Of our lives

That thought itself
Is enough
For the cruel world
To separate us- LOVERS

And push us
To live life in grief
And **** our LOVE -
Everyday  - little by little
Slowly, slowly, slowly...

Look closely
We're burning within
The fires of LOVE

Now we see the embers of
Our "I"s in LOVE

Let the world watch
The rising smokes of our
TRUE AGAPE LOVE

Nor your remains,
Nor mine remains -
The world can gather
ONLY "LOVE" remains

So,
Let the world watch
The SPECTACLE of
How we burn our LOVE
In the fires of SOUL

And let our ashes
Fly, dissolve & mix
In this atmospheres
That will again
Give birth to
Our type of LOVE

I glued together your broken heart with love,
Cemented the edges with care,
Nurtured it with kindness,
Now you tell me I SUFFOCATE YOU!
