Amour
The wings of angels have sprouted from their backs
Upon these they set flight
Not knowing what life has in store for them
Not caring as they look into each others eyes

The winds of change have set upon them
As together they soar
He had waited patiently as a man could
Now having what he desired and more

They complete the other
As one they have become
Unspoken words now never lost in translation
While in bed amour has them undone
#wings #soar #undone

Yes, I Ran
I ran
Hard, fast
             away...
I ran until
breath was gone
Bending over
Head between legs
Sharp pain in my side
                                               still
I did not run enough
I cannot run
                       f   a     r
enough
He is still there
Inside my mind
                            I cannot escape him
black eyes
dark hair

His scent clings to me
So I run again
Maybe this time
This time I can
                               e  s  c  a  p  e
*him
Hard to escape what is in your mind...

Eternity of bliss spent in bed
Spent now they rest their heads
Did their demons put to rest?
Or did the beast they just test?
One night is never enough. Our demons are fighting their way up top again. We both know we're eachother's favorite sin..***** little secret

Monster
I don't think you understand. The way my chest tightens. There's a vice holding back the tears and it makes it so hard to breathe. this incredible pain and emptiness vying for the space. How my mind screams at me. The part of me that isn't like this is trapped in there. Banging on her cell walls begging to be let out again. the Monster has taken over. It's ******* the life right out of me. I don't think straight. I can't see clearly. All lines are blurred. Every look is suspicious. every text some other woman. This Monster is controlling my mind. Having me read between lines that aren't there. And the pain... Oh God the pain!! I don't want to die, but I just want the pain to STOP! I need help putting this monster back in its cage.....

I Jumped
Into uncharted waters
Heart first
Mind racing after

Unknowing how it will feel
Reaching my destination
Shivers race across my body
Anticipation of the experience

will it be cold as ice
warm as the summer breeze
will I land upon rocks
or soft satin sheets


So I jumped

Into the abyss
Free falling
Trepidation close on my heels
Praying for an angel
pure or iniquity
                             "catch me"

Place me safely upon the ground
someone catch me, i'm falling.....

Saturday Morning Ramblings
If only I could paint the picture I see before me with my words
The skelatous tree with the black birds sitting upon its naked branches
The church in the background with its steeple all majestic, showing there is light in darkness
The cold breeze singing thru the dead leaves that have haphazardly fallen to the ground  
In the distance hearing the noises of those hustling around in this early morning chill
The pigeons and blue jays singing good morning to all who care to listen
The morning sun, hazy in the sky, attempting to warm the earth from its winter chill
Oh, if only I could paint this picture with just my words
But no words can honestly paint such a masterpiece that has been placed before me
Beauty in the simplest of things

21 years ago
a blast shook the state
Seventh grade and TV'S were off in school
What was wrong?
We became anxious
somethings off

Got home and my mom was crying
She's like me, we don't cry
I was scared
I learned a new word that day
Domestic terrorism

Domestic terrorism
Two words that should never be together
Two words that killed 168 souls
Two words that took the lives of babies

Two
       Words......


He thought it would ******* us
******* the heartland

We showed him
We became stronger
More vigilant
Using our second ammendment to the fullest
Pulling together in any crisis

This is the Heartland
This is the Heartbeat of America
Together we Stand
UNITED WE OVERCOME!

Domestic terrorism
Two words

Two
      Words


We will never forget
**WATCH OUT
21 years ago Oklahoma had a tragedy. We remember. We still mourn. We are stronger for it. We overcame. I am proud to call myself an Oklahoman!

Darkman II
I went for a midnight drive
Going to one of my places to hide
Shadows lurk in the dark
Knowing what they are making their mark
Flashes of lightening in the distance
Illuminating objects for just a moment
Time is over, go back home
Turn on the lights, scared of what is shown
Where did this come from
This man in front of me
Heart beats fast pulling me out my reverie
He is dark, no face to be made
An evil laugh is what he bade
In one hand a scythe of dead
in the other holds a head
Without moving lips whispers hit my ears
*"Come to me now my evil dear
For here you shall no longer feel pain
I will take it away just like the rain
Once you are dead you'll be like me
Come to the darkness and see"...
Did go for a drive last night to ease my mind. That and the moon she was calling..

She Used To
She used to revel in your touch
Become giddy when you were near
Fantasies adorned her thoughts
Thoughts of one she held dear

Now her skies are grey
Steel as a sword
Insecurities now abound
She feels desolate, worn

I hope you're happy with yourself
You cruel and selfish pig
Now she's crawling again
Unable to stand after your gigs

She tries to let love in
Consume her as once before
She finds it near impossible
She can barely get off the floor
I may love myself again, but how he made me feel the last of our ten years is a hard chain to break. Hopefully one day...

Monologue...
Memories, how strange they are. One moment they are true, concrete. You feel as though you can grab it and relive it all again as it was the first time. As you are drifting inside of it, you change a look, a word, a carefully placed step. You changed it. The original now gone forever. That magical moment that sent the fires of fervor through your veins, the flames now snuffed. Instead of desire lurking from their eyes you instead see doubt. The memory carries on but now, now you wonder...did they truly mean what was being said? Their confessions of love and lust that were spouted from the lips of passion, the ones that could quench your thirst..was it real? Memories are meant to last a lifetime... So why then must our brains change it? Why must we then doubt our lovers? It is as though our minds cannot be grateful for the love that is present...
The mind is a tricky sob..

Never Have I Ever
Never have I ever
Heard truth pass from man's lips
I do not care how
Beautiful you make your quips

One may say to another
Beautiful you are
Then turn around
and lust for another

One may say
I shall never do that again
Turn around
Same mistake the following weekend

I have found actions speak louder
You speak what you may
The proverbial untruth
For what is real is in what
With your words you do

For never have I ever
Heard truth pass from man's lips
But have seen truth
Man's words in action
Act upon your words!

Honey
Her voice is honey
Deep inside the hive
You're being stung
Each time she moans and writhes
With every little quip
You want to go deeper
But the stings will not quit
So you let her **** you dry
Till you cannot take anymore
Then you ignore her
Hope it goes back to before
But you are addicted
This honey she let's you taste
You keep going back for more
Knowing the pain in the stakes
You want to quit her
As she does so with you
But this will not happen
The two have become infused
Try as you might
You cannot quit her call
Her honey voice is a drug
In which you've become enthralled

Stars
Are the stars out tonight?
Can you see them where you are?
Do you think of her when you do?
Remembering under the moon
you made her fall?

As crystals do they shine?
Are they bright in the sky?
Would you like to touch them?
Want to wipe them away?
Are they tears from her eyes?

Do you hate the coming night?
Dread when the sun falls?
Does fear creep when the moon appears?
night was you and her
Does your loneliness now envelop all?
Do you miss me? Miss me at all?

Lost...
I want to lose myself
In between the pages
See fae and dragons
In my mind's eye
Feel loss and love
All in an hour
Become someone else
Feel the weight of a crown
Have the wind whip my hair
As I dive into a forest
See the greenest of greens
The bluest of blues
Escape from reality
Delve into another
I want to lose myself
**on the words of writer
I need a new book to read..

If You Do
If you tell me to go, I'll go
I won't look back
As I close the door
And with heaving sighs and shaky breaths
I'll still love you
Until my death

If you tell me to stay, I will
Together we'll face those mountains
We'll make them hills
And until my dying day
Loyal to you
I will stay
I love you babe

Her Time is Nigh
Storm clouds upon the horizon
Chaos dancing in the air
Rage building within
More turbulent with each passing minute
Calm hands grasp firey ones
Attempting to soothe fray
Unable to lull back the beast inside
Understanding passes
The storm is let loose
Flood gates let open
Thunder cracks
Shaking the sky
Lightening dances upon the ground
Burning whatever it touches
No longer a midas touch
No more gilded peace
It claims the earth with fury
Fury only hell would know
Fear enters onto the earth
For it has seen whom brings this storm
Lightening casts the silhouette
A lone woman with scorn in her eyes
Welcome the queen of hell
Had mediation yesterday. Went horrible. He attempted to remove the religious aspect of our children from the decree that would essentially not allow me to bring our children up in the faith of God.

Clock
The clock is ticking
The only sound I hear
Silence is deafening
When the clock just sits there ticking
I need noise
The white sound is hurting my ears
Speak, speak now
Don't stay silent
That blasted clock ticking it's painful
tick-tock
Driving me insane
Speak now, don't hold the peace

Words on Paper
Words on paper
That's all I write
Nothing more to give insight

Words on paper
That's all it is
Do not fashion my words more than this

I do not write from my heart
My brain and it
They stay apart

My brain and my body
They go hand in hand
Searching the Internet for words to become 
The Google master of this land

For if my brain and heart
Decided one day to not be apart
What a horrifically sad poem they'd write
How then just one word
Would bring a tear to the eye

So words on paper
That's all I will write
Until my eyes grow heavy
Till I succumb to the night

Words on paper
That's what I will do
*For I will not waste my heart's words
Lamenting over you
Just words....right?
#lament #words #you #mind #heart

My State in Flames
I'm sitting on my back porch
Smoking a cigarette
Looking at the stars
Hazed out by smoke
Oklahoma is burning
Flames are all around
Smells like a campfire
Even in town
Livestock are dead
Running for the barren river
Wildlife gone
Majestic mountain lions
Climbing in the burnt trees
Only to die of smoke inhalation
Oklahoma is burning
River beds running dry
Dear Lord above
Give us rain
Help us see an end to this nightmare
Of Oklahoma burning

Aching Feet
I sit here on my perch
Gazing into the street
Feels good on my perch
It helps my aching feet

Call them back
Weight and vitals
Tell me your history
Please do not lie to me

Pinch the babies
Make them cry
So when they come back
They'll of me be shy

Well, this one lied to me
Now I stand before my boss
My *** getting reamed
Thanks to the one who lied to me

This one just found out they have cancer
Hold their hand
Hug them tight
As they ask why, looking for an answer

Wipe the tears from my eyes
It's time for the next
Look at the clock
After twelve
Still no lunch yet

The afternoons are starting
Still haven't been able to sit
My feet
**** are they aching

Now it's five
The last one just left
Missed my lunch
I don't remember if I peed yet

Now I can sit on my perch
Looking out my window
Watching the cars pass by

They're going home
That I long to do
The paperwork though
Home isn't coming soon

The day in the life
of this clinic nurse
So happy to just sit

***** my feet hurt
#nurse #sore #feet #foot rub anyone?

She Survived
Her father beat her when she was young
She survived
It became easier everyday to forget
she breathed

She lost her brother as a teen
Watched her mom die a little
She survived
It became easier everyday to dull the pain
she breathed

She left the abuse of her first love
She survived
It became easier everyday to overcome
she breathed

She understood when the love was gone
She came to resolve and left
She survived
It became easier everyday to let go
*she breathed
Just breathe. It gets better.

I Remember
When I peed on the stick
Nervous butterflies wracking my insides
We tried for two years
But this time felt different

I remeber when I again checked the stick
This time trying for only 4 months
Could it be possible
2 years for the first, 4 months for the second

I remember the first kicks
Both little tumblers inside me
My bladder was the trampoline

I remember the first pains
Were these the real deal
More false alarms
Not this time, they're not stopping

I remember the first cries
Not little mews
Big belted full of life
I cried too

I remember when I held you both
The first time was like a slice of heaven
Little bundles searching for food
Then opened eyes and recognition set in

I am your mommy
Welcome to this harsh world
I will protect you
Shield you as best I can

I vow to let you live
Learn from your mistakes
Be there when you fall
Be there when you rise

I am your mommy
I will never leave
I love you
So much love I never knew I could have
My boys have birthdays coming up this month and next. You never know true love until you see your child...

Bring It
Clad in the armor of war
She faces the storm
Above her roaming the sky
Her obsidian dragon of eyre
By her feet slithering fast
Her red serpent of tales
Upon her back
Lays the bow and arrows
Soaked with poisoned truth
In her hand
She carries the staff of justice
Her body is black and blue
From all the hits she's taken
****** feet and hands
From the mountains she's climbed
She is finally here
The last battle
With a stance of defiance
Whispers into the storm
*"I am ready...."
I am ready....I shall rise the victor..

When in Rome
Cheshire grin
Memories renewed
Song in my head
Thinking of you

Flatbed truck
Under the stars
Only one night
Promise of more

another yet strays in my head
Been from the begining
Know I his head

Obsidian eyes and hair
Knows how to get me
When takes me to his lair

Both tempt my sin
Two the same name
One speaks one sings
*Opposite as night and day

Gentle Not
Go gentle with me, it's my first time
No, I'm no ******
But with you, I'm straight from the vine
Caress me tender, but keep it rough
Don't break my heart, just scruff it up
Don't let my tears fall down like rain
Let them instead come out in blood from your veins
Don't let me sob into pillows breast
Let me die peacefully inside your chest
Be gentle with me and yet so strong
Keep trying to show me why we are wrong

A Guitar and a Song
A song plays
A series of  old memories surface
A time of innocence lost
Dark hair, brown eyes
Guitar in his arms
Playing as though Just for me
That first kiss, first taste Of what heaven could bE
The first time
Sweet, slow, all encompassing
The "I love you's" slipping easily off the tongue
I can still feel his warm arms, smell his sweet breath
A time of innocence lost to a man with a guitar and a song    
I drift off to peaceful slumber with his feel still all around me while our song stays on *repeat

How I See
My face is not that of beauty queens

                the indention in my forehead
                         shows that clearly


My hair is not as shiny as most

                        ***** brown and limp

My neck is not that of starlets

                         I have a double chin
                          when I look down


My chest is not that of a model's

              I could pass for a man right there

My stomach is not a six pack

                              having babies
                      stretched me too much


My bottom is not smooth at all

                      stretch marks all over

My legs are not that of a dancer's

                              chicken legs
                       I've heard them called


My mind is not that of Einstein

                      I'm still learning everyday

My heart is not made of gold

                             there are days
                the blackness comes through


My soul is not white as snow

                       it is tainted with life
                   harsh words thrown to it


I attempt to overcome my faults

                       walk as though I have
                    nothing to be ashamed of


But in the back of my mind
There sits the forever

                          Not good enoughs...
Insecurities ****. Tonight more than most.

Pick Me
Pick me
    Pick me out of the throng of women
    The chaotic crowds
    This diamond in the rough

Choose me
     Choose me to lay beside you at night
     One whose demons need slayed
     Who will fight by your side

Love me
     Love me and you will see royalty in us
     I your queen, you my king
     Together we can rule this love

Pick me
      Choose me

So Tired
I am so tired today
Tired of it all
The lies, backstabbing, gossip,
letting another take your fall
I am so tired today
So tired of the pain
The heartaches,  loneliness,  and all the **** games
I am so tired today
Tired of the masquerades
the shyness, the hiding,  the truths that won't be said
I am so tired today
I just wish someone would give it to me straight
My thoughts from listening to my coworkers and patients.

Changes
you are my sunshine,
                        my only sunshine

Holding him close
Rocking my baby
He may be five but I still pace the floor and rock

                        *you make me happy
                          when skies are grey


Big changes are starting
He wraps his arms a little tighter
Safe, secure

                        you'll never know dear
                           how much I love you


Holding tight to his baby
Thumb in mouth
My little Linus
Safe and secure is what I bring

                           so please don't take
                              my sunshine away


*I don't want to go mommy.....
"You Are My Sunshine" is my youngest song. I have sung that to him since my Bug was born. We had a bad night last night. The divorce is drawing to a close (hopefully). He wanted me to hold him close and rock him singing his song.....
Who the hell do you think I am
I am no longer that little lamb
No longer led to slaughter
This time I will not falter
Call me out I dare you
Watch as I push on through
Gloves are coming off
When I'm done you won't scoff
You'll lay there in your own blood
I'll be standing over you with my gun and slug
**** with me dare double dog
This stick on you I'll flog
I may be little but I have might
****** you just called my ***** out to fight
I'll flip your world till you can't stand
I'll take you for everything, you're not a man
A whiny ***** is what I see
Upset you can no longer control me
So shut the **** up you little ****
It's about time to take what you give
Karma has been waiting in the wings
So bend on over and take what she brings
He's decided to hire a lawyer 4 days before the divorce is to be final. He now wants to contest. ****** has no idea who he's ******* with.

ps. Sorry for the language

And Fight!!!
Tonight we watch a rival to match all rivals
One of blood lust and rainbows
These two have been at it since the beginning of birth. Forever at the others throat. Let's meet our competitors!!!

In the blue corner weighing in at 114#'s with a reach as long as her career
She's the stomper of dreams, the instigator of fights, it's IIINNNNSSEECCCUUURRIIITTIIEESS!!!!

And in the red corner also weighing in at 114#'s with a reach half an inch shorter
She's the rainbows after the storm, the swell of joy in your chest, the giver of forgiveness, it's
HHHAAPPPIIIINNNEESSS!!!

The referee for tonight's match is neutral. Let's hear what he has to say to the opponents

"Alright ladies. We discussed rules in the locker room. Hitting below the belt is illegal. The heart is frowned upon but in the game. Let's fight as fair as possible"

"I saw that shady, did you? That gleam in insecurities eyes when neutral said the heart. That woman has it out for happiness "

"I did see that fair. Happiness' eyes got round as saucers. She knows that insecurity is gonna pull a fast one. Want to bet that it's 'he's not really in love'?"

"I don't know shady, I'd hate to think she'd pull one so low. He did just profess his love to her"

"She could pull that 'he's still in love with the missus. That he really doesn't want to let go' "

"**** shady"....

TO BE CONTINUED....
If you know the WWE or UFC...use his voice

******!! Make me feel as though I should not have fears! You say "I love you", but do you truly mean it?

Give to me words
Uplifting ones
Ones where it will set my soul free
Let me fly as I am meant to
Give me words
To heal my broken soul
Ten years past
Ten years gone
Give me your words
Show to me all will be right
Give me words
Beautiful ones
Ones that paint the picture
The picture of me soaring above
Above this storm that has brewed
Give me words to my lighthouse
My safe harbor in this storm
Give me words to set me afire
Release me from these mortal bonds
6 more days and it is finished. I am ready but saddened that we failed.....

       for they are not in your hands  

My ears are ringing

      for they are not hearing your voice

My eyes are closed

   for they know you are not in front of me

My hands they tingle

      for they are not touching you

My mind stays numb

      for it is not sparring with yours

My body trembles

War
War
Sitting, staring at the document
Laid bare before me
Letters turning into words
Into jargon
My mind hurts to read
It should not be like this
The pain that accompanies
Years lost, gone
Words mocking
Words of terror
Rising anger inside
Heart breaking
*"Corey, this is as though we are preparing for war"
"We are. It has begun"
"And we are but it's pawns"....
The date is closer. Lord help me to stay strong in this "war"

Wept
My friend
My lifesaver
You are hurt tonight
The memory of what happened
Not far behind
You felt the tiny body
Struggle for last breath
You saw the tiny head
Crushed beneath your hands
You felt the tiny neck
Snapped in two
I am here my friend
I will hold you
Place onto my shoulders
The pain that you feel
Take comfort in my caress
Sleep so you can heal
I will cradle you in my arms
As a mother would their child
I will try my best to console
If only for a while
A simple thank you felt for you to give
My dear, no thank you necessary
That is why I am here
And in my arms I held you tight
and as the baby can no longer do
You shuddered and you wept
A horrible tragedy shook our tiny community last night. A dear pillar in our community and her 18 month old grandchild passed at the scene after being hit by a drunk driver while walking. My best friend was the first responder. This is for him. My love and prayers are with you Ronnie. May you find comfort in knowing that the child went to rest in a father's arms. God bless our first responders, they are our unsung heroes.

Dozen on the Dime
Men will come a dime by the dozen
But you in my life
You're not one of them
No, you're more
I don't know how much more but yes
More to me than you could ever see.
Ever know
And I want you back, I need my friend my lover back into my life
Don't deny it, I think you want the same
You can't help but put your fingers to the keys and respond to my words
You can't help but talk of future after we're done sweating out the nights alcohol
I told you once, I don't forget
I remember the words you say
I remember the games you try to play
I won't let you forget
I'll keep after you until you jump the ship
You'll have to delete me from every part of your life
I don't think you can
I think my blood is now on your hands, in your veins
That's where I am, that's where I'll stay
You can't outrun me even if you tried
But that ok
Because men come a dozen to the dime
#jump #ship #dozen #dime #in your veins #goodbye

Junkie
I cannot quit
I am a ******
in need of her fix

No matter how hard I try
To stop what I'm doing
this will be the last time

I cannot help myself
My fingers itch
i cannot just put it on the shelf

My lips are on fire
My body an inferno
quenched only with his touch, kiss

He is the drug I'm not ashamed to chase
My nights are lonely without him
*this ****** needs his embrace

Untitled VIII
It is now night and I try to fall asleep
Though the days events unfold
My mind will not quit, there is no peace

The day has now played through in my mind
But no, that's not enough
Let's just see if I truly am that tough
My mind picks apart all that was said
From sun up to sundown
My heart, it hangs onto every word
Each syllable, each verse, each sound

It remembers how each one came across your lips
Looking in between the lines of all your quips
I try and tell my heart that it's foolish to look
That you're as easy to read as a children's book

My heart cannot accept that
It wants more
My mind agrees, let's see what's in store
I tell them no, we can't, not yet
*Just leave it with your shoes at the door
One day it will have a title.
One day I will not have to....

Untitled 25
She put herself out there
What she wanted, craved
She held out for you her hand
You batted it away

You leave her broken
So many times
But still she comes back for more
An obsession of mind

Do you not care
Or is fear what reigns
For fear is what travels
All through her veins

Do not scoff
This soul opened bare
When out she holds her hand
Take it, for her, be there

The Dance
Slowly we dance
You and I
Round and round we go
In a cadence of to and fro  
  
Never seeming to take that step
The final one that forces us
to take that
Chance        

A tango here
A waltz so fair    
A rhumba or two
One between me and you

Our steps are sure
The space we do keep
The chance between us
We dare to not let meet    
      
The fear we keep
In our sway of chance
Both afraid of what will happen
If we don't let fear keep the lead

A other measure has gone by
We've gotten closer
But backed away
instead of giving chance
At least one try

Paso Doble is now in swing
This chance of ours
The bull in the ring

Slowly, confidently
We stride to the center
Fear grips our minds
As we finally find each other

The chance is now ours
We take it by the horns
Fear be gone
Now love will soar
This one has a happy ending. I'm still dancing with mine. May we both one day grab that chance.

Asystole
That day marked the end
The end of something beautiful
When you did not fight for me as I  walked away
Before I had  stayed and I fought
I begged and I pleaded
All of it was for not
I tried to revive
I tried to keep it alive
No matter how many times I compressed
No matter how many I gave of rescue breaths      
No matter how much voltage I shocked
It was no more to be
It took me a while to see
Even the biggest fools know you can't bring back asystole

The Eye
A maelstrom of emotions riot within
But at this time I find my self in the eye of the hurricane.
Peace, freeing, content...
But I know it's not long before I'm attacked again by the unforgiving emotions of fear, anxiety, painful unrequited love.
The eye only stays for so long.
These turmoil of emotions sitting on the precipice
Waiting, watching, becoming antsy to assail me once more.

Alone
The flames are gone
Ashes left to scatter
By the wind of change
No ember here remains
The spark I once saw
In my own reflection gone
I am the ghost of my dreams
One who's hollow and gaunt
Happiness is not for me
Trust and security washed away
Love is just a dream
Loneliness is what beckons
Reclused in my solitude
Walls will be built
Pain will leave
Suspicion will reign
Alone I will forever be

Your Mask
I see it in your eyes
The ones behind your mask you try to hide
Your mask drops around me
Vulnerable and in your eyes I see
You are afraid, of what I don't know
When your mask drops, fear is what you show
Do not fear, especially not me
I will not tell your secrets, they are safe with me
Shhh....I won't tell
