Feed The Wounded
Crowds die whimpering
The ocean starts to decease
Wounded by love
A sweet baby bird at peace
Where loneliness is real
And moonlight dances in the air
Silent affairs across the room
Exposing the scars that hound
My body is in a cage
That feeds the burn
When time tries to make us leave
There is nothing else left to give

A Fragile Distance
Dusk collapses the sunlight
The residue of my youth
Spilling clouds and existence of this dark place
Pushing to a boundless distance
Twisting into a famished prayer
Choking on teeth and a lovers obligation
Drowning veins misery drags me underneath
Repressed thoughts tight in my throat
The ocean of  sorrow painted by me

Savor The Scars
Whisper into my ear
Listen to the beat of my heart
That drums for only you
The smell of jasmine tickles my nose
I’m by your side
I need tenderness
Can you reach me?
Follow my tears stagger into them
I’m missing you
I shall cut myself with all this glass
Savor my scars
What seems to be your weapon that holding me so tight ?
Lost in this emotion when nothing here is right

Happiness
You are like everything I have ever needed,wanted or desired

Like the 4th of July

Or  a cool soothing rain

You are the reason I exist

The sun that sets way up in the sky

Your my dream come true

Almost to good to know

Its like Christmas every single day

I shall let you unwrap me discover what it means

I let you live in me

See inside my heart

The wind tickles across my face as I step out into the winter night

Your arms embrace me

Making  me need you more

You sleep so peacefully I watch your eyelashes against your skin

Fall in love with you all over again

Wake up in our babies arms

I dont wish for you to be any different then you already are

I will shout I love you from the highest mountain top

I am the luckiest girl

The stars in the sky couldnt make me any happier and

Your the reason why
I would like to add this poetry is older I wrote alot of these in 2009 It's interesting to see how the stages of life changed me so much.

The Corner Of My Place
When I was just a young child
I wanted to fly
Touch the sun and kiss the sky
Everyday at noon
I would run through the fields and play
That was before it was all grey
When my story didn't fade
I could close my eyes and escape
When the birds would whisper and play
Before things were gray
Before I lost my place
I use to dream of a place where peace lived
Now there is a storm in every corner of my place
Loneliness is so vivid and real
Just wish the clouds of darkness would pass me by
I have to believe that the breeze will talk to me
Give me answers and give me faith

Blinded Creed
An angel in the stomach of poetry
Eating  the spirit that makes me bleed  
Betrayed lips that force me to drink
Blinded hands deprived of touch
The distance of my creed

Feeding My Spine
The lights dance across the bar
As I wait
I don't want to shine just for anyone
The gift I have to share is a sin  
I don't normally sleep around
But this heart of mine is gone
If you enter me I will be complete
I will grow weak
With your fingers like spiders nibbling at my spine
Making me crave your touch
And then I will be  a typical whiny ***** and complain
Why did you **** me?
Do you even care?
I'm such a fool
But who cares
As I ***** out the remnants of you out of my throat
I choke on the hollowness that lives in this place
488 · Aug 2012
Inhale You Into A Line
Your just one more addiction
That I’m not willing to take
If I swallow you down will I fall to the floor?
If I inject you into my veins would I thrive?
If I inhale the scent of you in a fine line
Would I bleed and would my tears dry?
Your just one more addiction that I can’t fake
The taste of you I could drink all day
Make me sober making me mad
As I hit the main line I need more
One look into your eyes I get hungry
I yearn for more
Swimming inside of myself
Drowning into you
Don’t know if I can survive another lie
Your just a risk that I can’t take

Love Me Away
My imbalance for love is unsettling
My heart flourishes until the dusk of day
When the night comes and loves us away
487 · Dec 2013
Empty Air
I shutter as I pray
To the glorious god
Shattered and startled, my beloved is gone
As the mourners throbbed with internal pain
The sun shined that day
But all I saw was black
****** and burned is how you were found
I pleaded and wailed into the air
That is the moment my heart split
All my dreams unraveled that day
As I lay awake at night
I see your arctic shimmering eyes
Your radiant skin against mine
I untangle you in my sleep but the sorrow doesn't ease
Angels I ask of you to embrace my treasured
I will never see what my son looked like
Did he have mommy's eyes?
Or my nose?
As I taste the solitude I can't help but wonder what might have been
486 · Oct 2013
Old Stone
The lies live in your windpipe tonight
As the stars pop and the birds fly  
Lingering in suffocating guilt
Beneath grace where flowers sang
Stones on our lips we stay

Clocks that ended with the pain
A willow tree full of tears as we weep
We travel to the country side
A dead breeze held us away
My lips are full of flaws
In this blackened room without fight
The smoke began to apper
I beat the earth with all my might
Go to the top of the moon
To find the forgotten place
Someday I want to be forgotten. Lead the way.

Ruptured Armour
A swollen tongue can't speak
A black eye can't see
A split lip can't eat

Ingest The Universe
As my sins control my afflictions
That break into unfathomable space
It sips up the universe
Lines that wash me clear

Weeds Inside Of Me
I come down from the ozone
So I can see me
I don't like to feel
It's much to real
So I take another sip
Down a handful of pills
Close my eyes and scream
As my thoughts spin me around
Then I'm on the ground
Consuming the dirt and debris
That lives inside of me
As weeds sprout inside my stomach
With vines that choke my innards and intrude
I have skin that I use a cover
To protect my sins
482 · Aug 2013
Fatal Flaw
I sink with horror into my own corner
The shadows begin to devour my sorrow
As the wind rises
My skull screeches without a sound
The journey lets me down
I wait for the flowers that will never arrive
Your my fatal flaw
Hunger embellished in your claws
As the towering tree twists
Pulling my breast consuming the breeze
Tasting my tongue ,  I have something to say
I dismantle my thoughts with my finger tips
Bitter and bleak
I unravel the crumbling tears that fall
As my spirit withers
A colorless blanket of fall
482 · Feb 2017
Cheap Whore
Why did you try and save me ?
All I wanted to do is forget
Why did you pull me out of the tub?
Throwing away my pills, when I needed them to feel
Losing my clothes and your trust
I acted like a ***** for drinks ,never had to pay
This is a shame that will never go away
Let me silently submerge into stillness
I will not flail my arms or cause a scene
Nor will I inhale for life

Seaweed Bones
Skin of linen and hair of marmalade
Seaweed eyes where lovers drift away
Lopsided lips trembling with unspoken words
Charcoal eyes patch my worries
Your winged eyelashes catch my dreams

Starving Poet
I awaken a frail poet
Writing dissolves love
As one dances to his death
Under fresh flowers
Conceals the light of poetry
478 · Dec 2013
Feeble Frame
Throat of my spine
Place my bones on a ledge
As my lungs of trepidation is bruising the sun
I'm crumbling without a shield
Attempting to speak as my vocal cords are severed
Taking what I have left and leaving
477 · Aug 2012
The Open Wound
Broken beautiful yet exquisite
As love spills into repulsive awareness
When the vicious exterior fades and awakens you
These moments delight, yet torment you
The sweet open wounds
The secrets vanish
You can’t repair damages once it is done
Run and be free
Drink up what’s left of my love
But do not give it back to me
476 · Aug 2012
The Blue Bird Weeps
I’m just a weak mild bird
That is so fragile
If I cry my feathers weep
I’m nothing fancy
In fact I have no shine
I once had wings and I could fly
But that ended long ago
As you can see
Please close your eyes keep the secrets from me
Today I wish not to be found
I’m a nighttime bird with nighttime blues
Watch me gradually flow away
If only you knew

All A Daze
It's been forty three days since I have been in a haze
Yet I walk around in a daze
Not sure what to do with my time
Could sleep for hours but the nightmares won’t escape
475 · Jun 2013
Taste Your Bed
Speak to the voices that live in your head
Proclaim all your secrets
So you can taste your bed
The fragile interior allows me
Reality unsettles me
As I try and come down from outer space
I’m just a displaced trace of nothing in its place
Calm your worn bones
Place them with me
Twist and distort the circles above your head
The tension you feel keeps you high
Rest your vertebrae let me sew you to sleep
Give me your veins and blood and such
I still can't find sleep
Why wont you let me erase?
Minutes and hours became my enemy
Slumber will come
Don't fret just reflect
A coma may come soon in this lack of your empty space
Lethargic if you may

Looking For A Dream
I have a house made of paper

A house made of dust

When you put your hands on it there is nothing to touch

Gathered all the strength I had

Put it into this

Composed what I thought I knew

Existed as this

Crumbled falling and poor

Lost along the way my home hit the floor

Searching for something so I know I’m real

Looking to the streets

Looking for a meal

Put this bottle to my lips

I’ll be warm for awhile

My legs are tired my soul is asleep

Then as darkness comes there is a job for me

I’m full of shame bitter and hate

I can defeat

I study the cracks along my path

That I have walked so many times before

I see the same old man

Looking for his dreams under the stars

I look for a moment just to see

When the next one will come for me

Up against the building so cold

I fall to my knees stuffing the twenty dollar bill into my jeans

As this stranger walks away

I raise my hand to the sky and I begin to plea

Save me from this hell I’m in

Wash it away take my sins

I pick myself up off the ground

Go to a little coffee shop just down town

The people stare at me all battered and cold

It Burden’s my heart just to let you know

I want to shout I was once was like you

My house crumbles between my fists

I take the warm coffee let it hit my lips

The lifeless color in my eyes

As I look at my reflection I ask why?

Out into the cold September night

Wrapping my arms to cocoon myself in

Fighting for what

Will I ever win?

As I drift and my mind roams

Looking into the next day

The winter moon will be coming soon

Will it ever erase the pain I feel

Or take me back to what was once real

Something solid something I can feel

As I close my eyes heading for shelter

Hiding behind my enclosure

The rain starts to fall ever so light

I feel the need to just fight

As the streets call my name

Tonight its my only friend

I study the brick like a piece of art

Where and why did this begin

To the stars and tears that fall along my way

Give me hope for one more day

Knock Knock
Kiss the waves as there is death at every door
Time crawls like tears
As words fall slowly
Balanced upon my chest
The window in my mind is full of fog
My broken round tongue pours water for the sun
Naked sky is fading as it whispers goodbye
473 · Jul 2012
The Slumber
I would like to conceal myself in the bottom of the earth  
Tasting and smelling dirt
I may be cold or would the earth heat the soil?
Could I feel wind underneath the warmth?
Will my eyes flow freely as the tears pour down?
My body will ache with desire but it has no use
I will have no sense of time
In a slumber that is my mind
Nobody could take that away
Peace that fills my space
Oh so silently without abuse
Who’s voice would I hear
Perhaps it could be mine?
I have not heard it in so long would I recognize the sound?
Can I hide never to reappear
472 · Nov 2012
Velvet Sky
Your velvet breath comes
As the morning sky is born
Celebrate and devour peace
The broken timid breeze
Lingers and torn
At your young wild steel heart
That is on your sleeve
A naked prisoner that has no way
Stream through the secret desire
Into the ocean glass up into the free
469 · Oct 2019
Treading
I didn't even know I was swimming
Until I began to drown

Scarlet Blood
You sure look pretty in that shade of blue
When my hands touch you and what they make you do
When will you listen to the sound of my voice?
Do I need to drown that defiance out of you?
Let me touch your ******* whenever I feel
Don’t act like you don’t like it
It will be fine
Close your baby blue eyes
Want me to cover your mouth?
Nobody will hear you scream
If you do I will really show you what I mean
The scarlet blood is so pretty on your delicate face
Are you worthy for anyone but me?
I don’t think so and you’ll never be free
Come here be on your knees
What you have a word to say
I don’t think you will be heard not today
Look at what you made me do
Now go and lay down and then we will be through
With that pretty shade of blue that brings out the black in those eyes
You know I have no patience
I will not wait for you
464 · Dec 2015
Nonsensical Brain
Kaleidoscope twirls clutters my brain
Embers of carnality  enslaved
Your name dictates my tounge striking shame
Leaving your fountain ink
With a warriors thirst  ,stumbling upon oceans of bones
Mountains of heartbeats and moon dust
Horizons of haunted *******, burning hair with  withered flesh
461 · Mar 2012
Alive
The music settles into my soul I hold you not wanting to let go
I may not know for certain
What will happen in my life
I know for a fact I adore you
As the candle light dances off our bodies
We make one I look into your eyes
Needing your touch one more time
To make sense of this life of mine
To answer all my why's
Deep into the night
Its you I want to see in the morning light
And in the evening making it all right
Touch my face hold me as close as you can
You make me feel youthful in so many ways
Make me alive
I'll make you mine
461 · Nov 2013
Feeble Fields
I inhale the fragile fields
With secrets in my stomach
Tangled in the corner of gods throat
Quiet hours in a angels room
Fresh kisses of fate
The remains of the memories will set me free
459 · Feb 2013
Adrift
Ups and downs
Completely through and through  
Sad and happy
Mad and sad
Been all over no mans land
Been gone for so long
That grass grew and almost took it all
Can’t see the house I once called home
The trees need cutting its obscene
My roots are buried have you seen them here?
Sow them all over in that dirt if you see them again
Perhaps a bird came and flew away with me
I could just be alone under that fern
As bugs come and carry me away on a Sunday afternoon
I may even end up in the sea
Suspended and drifting to the bottom
Maybe I’m just dust
459 · Jan 2017
Manic Kiss
My lovers womb became chiseled with scorn
Beneath photographs and circle kisses
You had nestled another in
Under your sternum interlaced with valleys of cartilage, your ribs became a landscape
I had journeyed across your spine
Baptizing the hollows of your delirium, ending up with warm bruises
On sleepless nights when clouds where corpses, I held on
I had been your eyes when whiskey, would not allow you to see
Decomposing mentally, metastasized into my existence
454 · Mar 2012
Giving up
Love is about giving up



Giving in



Letting go



Only warm sacred sea through wild promises



Under the naked light



Together we devour the soul



Remember the kiss with a moist fear



Whispers under the tree



Worshipping the soft breeze



Embrace explore me



I shall soak with a gentle heart



Hanging on to the sweetness of the night



Painting drunk harmony



Trying to make it right



Passion imagining the moment



Through wild pain



When young hearts are shattered my life is long



I lay in bed your so far away from me



Where did it go?



What has happened to my once vibrant soul?



As I turn away the days seem to collect



A  little corner of my heart



Tucked away like a broken piece of glass



Laying shattered laying last



Let me cry



Let me sorrow



Let it go away

Over The River
Lonely hallowed summer
A song over the river
This quiet world of mine beholds the wind
Thriving like vines I could climb
Poetry seeds the winter season
As I wander and wither through sacred earth
The lonely intuition through the peace season
A gentle loves thrives beneath the dark
Leaving me with a thirst
453 · Jun 2012
Paint My Heart
Would one slight kiss bring you closer to me?
Would I crave you forever on my hips?
Long to have you near
Falling in love making me alive
My skin that has been so deprived
It will suddenly rise
The candle light will dance off our bodies
Chasing the shadows in the night
I grasp for you I scream I need
I willing to sacrifice to have you for one night
I have desires that I can’t hide
Want me to make you mine
You are like art
I want to paint you with my tongue
Discover your heart
Drain the pain that invaded you so
For just tonight release let it go
452 · May 2012
Order
Could I perhaps marry a poem?
Run away with the letters
Far from home
Used words that only express the truth
Could I would that be absurd?
Place my life on the line
Put it in a certain order not to be unkind
Could I write a Tanka and structure it differently
That would be wrong
What if I wrote a love sonnet and filled it with hate
That would be callous
But now it’s too late
450 · Aug 2012
Exhale My Demise
A spirit so peaceful embracing life
A breathe of serenity as quiet beauty meditates the earth
Shadows flow together focusing on wisdom
Inhaling the wind as it soar’s into a winding garden
A fresh tranquil soul soothingly grasping my hand
Demise is speaking to me oh so openly
Time and light that is perfectly white
The scent of myself passes me by
I exhale for a moment
Remembering the sullen compassion that whispers in the sky
Yelling out to me asking why
449 · Jul 2015
Blinded Bird
Ancient spirits, whispering into the wind
Angels staggering, claiming sorrows
Burning winds stroke the willow trees
Illusions of Galaxies concrete flaws
Blinded birds hatching sunsets
Bones of disease devoured and shamed

In And Out
Essence drowns my flesh
I felt the wind blow
The days weren’t mine
I would run out of my mind
Another night to dread
Yet I’m alive
But  I cant make it to far
I have some how lost my way
I once was naïve
But the past clutch’s me refusing to release
I pray on my knees the beads among my fingers
I start to bleed
Begging for deliverance  praying for me
Why so lost ? Yet not found
I don’t even recognize a sound
Could I just go and have my sins washed away ?
I just want to breathe out then in
I want to forget
That sorrow destroys all that I am
Should I stay silent to protect him?
But I desire in the middle of the night
A man to touch me until all is forgot
Heaven is fantasized
Once delicate nothing left for me
Strength you acquire when you need  
The time is limited when you grieve
447 · Oct 2013
Recollect
Elegant eyes
Natural beauty speaks
You create poetry as you move
Naked white shadows drift
Clear lips that dream
I would go into the darkness
Struggle and bleed
To empty you into me

Me
Me
What is the truth?

Who are we to decipher what is hidden inside

To make up the rules of what is believed to be the truth

Prehaps mine are different then yours

Sometimes I just want to give it all up

Head out the door

So many others telling me what to do

Want to hear the truth

Smell it on my tounge

Whiskey will do it

It always speaks for me

Not afraid of ones feelings

Makes it short and sweet

You have a simple choice either accept me for me

Or leave

Shall I repeat myself so that you understand

I will not be afaid of the certainty that I come to believe

Its all I can be

It is all ME
446 · May 2013
Tearing My Love
The fear inside shakes me
Tormenting me
With it's cold touch
Twisting my soul
And tearing my love
Hiding underneath my blouse
Caressing my trembling raw and ****** bones

Burden Made Of Steel
The rain came and washed it away
All, including the shame
Pieces of you that I can’t claim
The rain came and led me through
Into the night where I did not have a fight
Nothing left to offer
I carry this burden that feels like steel
When our fingertips met I could feel something real
You may think that I don’t see
But were one step away
I have drained all that I use to be
Now I don’t want to feel
I go to the side of the river
Kicking my feet in the pain
I don’t belong
Whispers that come alive
Slip inside this mind of mine

Umbilical Stew
I want to brew you into a cup of Tea
With your baby's breaths and embryo nectar
Would you keep me warm inside?
This cold has never gone away
I still count your freckles, hold them in my hands
Every speck of earth I pray
My resilience has become leftover umbilical stew

Can We?
Can we be free?
Have unity
No war just peace
Accept others for who they are
Let everyone be real
Hold hands in church with the person next to you
Watch children grow,  teach them morals and beliefs  
Let them  become the future we need
So we could be proud
Educate one another about our backgrounds
Be proud of our color
Not to be ashamed of our mothers
Love and embrace
Let everyone have a chance to be strong
Go visit lost souls
The older man down the road who just lost his wife
Lost his essence, lost his soul
Volunteer your time to help someone in need
Be kind and be true
One day we will all leave this earth
And reside in a home together
Why not get along now
Lets recover
