Staring at the world
My place of peace and my love
She looks, sly, at me
Bright twinkles in her her eyes
She'll turn her pretty face
And say, 'stop looking at my ***'
Then, a little happy laugh
And, she'll dance along her way
Tiny mote, too light to fall
Catching the morning light
Sneaking through a crack in the shade
It hangs there although it is flying
Almost giving truth to fairies

Or maybe tiny angels
You know how they are

The light gave it a a silhouette
Against itself, and against the dark
It stays there, longer than a moment
Longer, almost suspended
Beautiful and perfectly still

I can't say I could blame it
For just below
Lay a beauty to give pause
Even Helen would stop
Where time itself froze

You lay there naked
Not for the world to see
Wrapped in sheets
As well as me
So I don't dare move
Not to disturb
The Sleeping Beauty
In this life,
though we may
squirm and fight,
we all long for
that perfect love.

Perfect, not to
the world perhaps,
but perfect enough
for us.

Many come and go,
leaving behind
remnants of their
futile attempts at
engaging your heart.

Then one came
and found me,
drowning in the
filth and muck of
heartbreak,
and breathed new life…
into me.

At first, going on
Instinct
I reacted in the
twisted ways
I’d learned.

Dysfuntion
was all I knew.
Nothing was healthy,
nothing was ever honest
or real,

but,

in his eyes
I found devotion;
Love unconditional,
the kind only written of
in myths and legends.

I am, slowly, learning
to trust and see
Truth in his eyes.

In his arms
I found
my comfort,

and in his eyes
I finally allowed
myself to see…

forever
and what beauty
can actually be.

* For my Wolf *
Life throws
live bombs at you;
abuse,
cruelty,
manipulation by
‘so called’
loved ones,
betrayal of trust,
****** of innocense,

all contributing
to the grand design
and creation of a
sorrowful, raging monster;
a special breed.

You come to
discover and sharpen
the only real
weapons
you possess…

YOUR WORDS.

These words
become like machetes,
cutting and chopping
through bone.

These words
become the lethal
bullets that
penetrate
deep into the
crevices of
heart and mind.

Somewhere,
within the vast
depth of yourself
you find a strength
and courage,
in between
the layers of
rusted scars,

creating a new
persona,
one who will
stand up for you,
when your fragile
‘self’
cannot.

This creature
takes the brunt
of the hurt
and fear
directed your
way.

Those that pretend
to love you,
yet cause only harm,
witness this savior
you’ve borne,
and have the nerve
to be offended.

Often these
Pretenders
find it quite
entertaining to
watch and listen

as you tear
another apart.

That is,
until you turn,
and point your revolver…

at THEM.

Bang! Bang! goes
that gun,
and down they go,
obliterated
by your own hand,
and you can
only offer up
an amused grin…

as they
bite the bullet!

Retaliation, revenge, Karma
You'll always remember
he'll not disappear,
keep the moments so tender
held at heart, always near.

When your eyes flow with tears
as in moments they might,
let them flow without fears
and hold those memories tight.

As in time you move on toward a new life
those fresh events will never obscure your past,
just try to relinquish the reins on old strife
for your life is still full and remembrance is vast.

You've endured and survived the pain
and one day you'll come to know it wasn't in vain.

Regarding making it through the dark, pained moments of this life. One foot in front of the other, always. Never let anything or anyone destroy your light.
All I need is to look once
A passing glance, just for me
But I pause, for you
Because I want you to know
With my eyes, that I love you
Calling on Angels
from celestial planes and Earth;
we must begin with ourselves.

We each must decide.
We all heed this call each day;
tested by action and word.
