music
ebbs and flows;
within my small frame
comes great power
inside my fragile body
emotion is overbearing
into my soul
the listener peers
ever so delicately
the only reason ive survived this long is because of piano

i can't
you can't either
but swing me around when
no one is near; let's dance closely
all night.

so small,
fragile.
but firm,
sure.

precious.
soon to be
big,
but the path
is narrow.

darkness
overpowering, enveloping
staunch, wicked, heavy
unforgiving, shrouding, blinding, absorbing
bright, fine, glorious,
loving, overcoming

bones
Bleeding

bones
We danced toward
each other's wounds

with gentle step
and touched inside

and now the bleeding
has resumed

and all this blood
is hard to hide.

Sailing in my thoughts
            Like a ship in the ocean
Swaying up and down
               On the poetical waves.

Thoughts are the waves
                     Poetic and creative
Painful and joyous
                        Stormy and calm.

They hit unexpected
             Leaving a mark behind
Like love leaves a scar
           Thoughts leave a notion.

Poets are in need of them
         The ideas of stormy waves
Their mind is able to create
         After a thriving earthquake
Which brings about the storm
                       In the creative days.
