She was a working girl from five to midnight
rarely standing by the window in the red light
the men would wait in line for their twenty minute turn
it would make my heart sink and my stomach churn
and at the end of this nightly torture we would meet
her smelling of many men and cologne nasty and cheap
yet I always greeted her with a big hug and smile
she was one never to be tamed, for she was a wild child

We would sit by the river bank with hot coffee
sometimes laughing sometimes crying
and when it was cold, I'd put my coat around her
she knew not I loved her and inside I was dying
after a couple of hours I would walk her home
she would ask me to come in, I always said no
I'd kiss her on the cheek and with fingers in her hair comb
say goodbye, and head back to the river bank to tearfully roam

I gave

You'r with some one else
And I shouldn't waste you'r time
But all I can think about
Is you'r hand in mine

We had great things
That I let slip away
It hurts me so much
Still to this day

I still love you
And that's all that counts
With each passing day
In greater amounts

We can still make things work
And that much is true
All that I need
Is me next to you

You'r dreams float by like a careless breeze
Tossed and destroyed like stormy seas

You made your plans but soon they failed
All because that ship has sailed

Your life has changed because of the choices you've made
Swift and sharp like the edge of a blade

The fork in the road will appear one more
The answer is in you deep in you'r core

Left or right will choose you'r plight
A life full of darkness or bright golden light

How is it
That with a few simple words,
You tore my heart out of my chest,
Ripped it open as it was still beating,
Used tongs and tweezers to dismember it,
Then threw it back in my face,
Useless, a mess, and broken?

Comfort is your worst enemy
Don’t fall in love with security
Fall in love with the realization that nothing is forever
and as a result we must love in each individual moment
fall in love with each moment that hallows your existence
with each touch that awakens your senses
with each articulation that questions your existence
with every moment that makes you come alive
for God’s sake love with every fiber of your being
not because it offers you a sense of comfort
but because it simply offers you a moment in this brief reality
to feel.

My light
Is Dimming,
Diminshing,
Almost gone.
As it flickers,
I worry.
Why is it disappearing
Descending?
Your light is so bright,
I almost lose sight,
staring into your light.
So ******,
and strong,
and even prolonged.
My light,
once like yours,
Symmetrical,
Identical.
Your light inhaled my sparkles of shine,
synthesized the lines,
that once were mine.
My light,
my light,
now flickers in the night.
Soon to say goodnight,
my poor little light.
You stole its beauty,
its happiness,
its joy.
Goodnight'
restless light,
that once shined so bright.
