I know am broken
A little bit
A heck of a lot.
I know i am
I feel the pain
Building into a crescendo.
Needles drawing out threads
As i unfurl into folds
Trying to breathe
Pushing back the tears.
Why must i hurt this way?
Aching to my very soul.
I can't sleep as i think of what i don't have
I can't feel from trying to block out the pain
I am alone and empty.
Dying everytime i breathe
As waves of pain engulf me
Numbing me to the core.
Up at 2 AM,
No one else around.
Thunderstorm outside-
Lightning hits the ground.

The pitter patter of the raindrops
Reminds me of the crash of waves on
The sand - chaotic, but with purpose, as
Water always is. The clouds flash their secrets.

Exhaustion overtakes my body, but longing over-
Comes my soul. Looks like that's the only sleep I'll be
Snatching tonight. Watch the clouds flash again, and then
Move across the sky in endless harmony with all things Earth.

Thunder slowly gets softer and softer, slower and slower in coming.
The flashes seem off-center, and the wind pushes the raindrops ever away.
As one of few living creatures awake here at 2 AM, I heave a sigh and go back
To the endless cycles of busy work that consume my body in every way this week.

This is another of my 3-minute poems, but with real intent and background. It's finally stopped raining, but I miss the storm.
Not one to move on from a break up
Give time need to heal
Not quick to sleep with anyone
I don't forget right away but willing to move forward
It hurts to see an ex with a new
Wondering will I be able to do the same
If I find new love old love tries to wedge it's way back
Not mad but confused not sure
Do I go back or continue with new
Everything to lose don't want to make the wrong choice
Wrong or right the heart is hanging by a limb
Waking morning
clear my head
make me some bacon
brain must be fed

Here's to the hog
who gave me his all
a sacrifice for sure
a gift to us all

the aroma that wafts
through the air
hits all my senses
like a drug if I dare


Hog flesh and chicken embryos
a breakfast delight
just have to
start the day right
Two flitting, colorful petels,
butterflies, frolicking, forgetting mating,
make me and her, love drunk,
temporary rest place, now and then.
I glance at the sky.
It's beginning to lighten.
Has the early morning
Really passed so fast?

I've sat here for hours
Buried in homework.
Now I gaze outside
As the world awakes.

Welcome, songbirds.
Good morning to you, world.
You are glorious today, sunrise.
Welcome to the day, earth.

The sun's bright rays flash
And the world is bathed in color
The moisture from the night
Is slowly dried away.

My smile rests upon the earth
And gladness in my heart
But there is still a bothersome fact-
Today is a school day.

Reluctantly, I finish my thoughts.
It's time to get locked in a cage
Barely able to gaze out the window
At the start of spring and its invitation.

Brilliant flashes of life have awakened.
The vibrancy of green is broadcasted
Through the fresh spring grass
And the buds on the blossoming trees.

To the world at this time, I say, "Good Morning!"
To the night at this time, I say, "Good bye!"
To the light of the day, I say, "Welcome!"
To the mystery of darkness I say, "Farewell!"

What it will be like in an hour or so. :)
You know what you want
Then say you don't
You know what to say
Then you simply won't

You know how you think
But constantly ignore
You know how to fix it
But somehow trust became a chore

You know what can't be
But refuse to call it quits
You know how to persevere
But even you fell for those tricks

You know you bend the rules
Yet you know how they all are
You know how to love
Yet your heart seems so sore

You know what you feel
Then think to disagree
You know you should be true
Then you think last of me

You know how to say yes
Yet never seemed to be asked
You know how it's played
Yet you always come in last

You know your confused
Yet you toss reason aside
You know your torn
Yet you refuse to decide

You know what you want
Then say you don't
You know what to say
Then you simply won't

The hardest person to know is yourself.
Remember me as the tumbling and effervescent waves that creep up and steal sandy pieces from the still and sparking shoreline

Remember me as the late night conversations that consist of words and phrases beaming with honesty, words and phrases that are only spoken quietly, guided by the moonlight

Remember me as the first rays of the quiet sunlight that beckon the early morning as it slowly approaches with the retreat of the mysterious and looming night sky

Remember me as the soothing sound of the blowing wind that caresses the branches of the trees and their leaves while twirling softly through every piece of your golden hair

Remember me as the first rainfall of the summer and the igniting and awakening scent it gracefully sends through the tunnels of your airways and warm veins, slowly lighting your insides on fire

Remember me as every beautiful thought, every beautiful word, every beautiful sound, every beautiful sight, every beautiful experience

Remember me as burning passion and desire

Remember me
