The way i ask people
to hang out is kind of
predatory, if this were an
act in two parts, you
would see all of my
acquaintances board
a carousel, and then
watch me grasp at
their clothes as
they flew past
on their steeds
the camera
film would
shutter across
my face, and
a pair of arms
stuck out like
prongs or jaws
or claws or pincers


trying to catch on.

catch on?

The Journey
 Jun 2014 Jemimah

Of every dream my mind has danced
along a path of nature’s grace
within a weeping willowed trance
beneath this canopy of space

Your hand in mine, my heart does beat
Of moon beam glow and eyes a’ shine
To hold you close in summer’s heat
And breathe a sigh in precious time

Amidst the charm of evergreen
To sit a while in fragrant dew
Your smile comes an evening dream
In quiet whispers sent so true

For as this moon and wondrous night
Caress our hearts to sing as one
of melodies that feel so right
in love, our journey has begun
Written for Paula, a very good friend with a heart of gold. I hope you like this my sweet friend.

This wound has been re-opened
One by one the stitches fall away
And this **** that I feel left with
Is leading me astray

My mind looks for a friend
My heart looks for the woods
A dark place to bury my feelings
Though I don't believe I could

My heart is hurting; my insides...
I don't want to feel this way anymore
The pieces of this broken puzzle
Remind me of before

I don't think you see how much pain
That this is causing my heart
But every time I run away
We go right back to our start

But i remember I don't I need to hide
There's one who knows it all
He's just around the corner
Waiting for me to call

And like a child I'm going to run to you
Because children don't have to worry
You'll take all of my fears away
And slow me down from my hurry

Anything in this world
That we care so dearly to choose
Means absolutely nothing
If we're not in it with you

So my lord, don't worry
I'm coming home to you
Your all I need in this life
Your the one that gets me through
