Have you ever
found someone who
accepted you enough
that you call it love?

Have you ever
been afraid that
no one else
would accept you
like they do?

Have you ever
felt something was
missing....
but too afraid
to find out?

Yeah, me too!

Poetry deserted her
Words
Are all dried up in her heart
she desperately
tries to gather
her scattered thoughts
as her heart bleeds blue

Caught in that place
between dreams and waking
A rainbow is illuminated
Showing the path
to my Heart's Desire
The desire for love
And to give love
I awake with a smile
upon my lips
Knowing
My Heart's Desire
is found
As the hearts of many
have illuminated my path
Giving my heart
the knowledge
That Love fluidly flows
and has always been
A Heart's Desire
Fulfilled

A Beautiful gift
was bestowed upon her
Floundering,
she found a way to
Express herself
Explore herself
Know herself
Is she a poet?
Doubtful
A Writer?
Maybe one in the making
Does she care
what others call her?
Not as long as
She is able to keep
This Beautiful gift
bestowed upon her.

Lo, she thought she saw
A ray of light
but Alas
No, tis the darkest of nights

Strange and twisted
are her dreams-
She knows
her thoughts
are often
esoteric
Though she craves
lucidity
It seems
beyond her reach
It is hard
sometimes
to accept
Her dreams
her thoughts
are often
strange and twisted
Hidden
clearly lacking clarity.

She lives in
a Faery Tale World
Odd from conception
She never quite fit in
Flawed and damage
Her parents sought
Others more perfect than she
So she lost herself in Faery Tales
and tried to live her life
like a romance novel
Always knights,
Too many knights
And well maybe not so shiny
Dragons, Griffins, and Unicorns
Yes, these were always
part of her dreams
Now the years
have gone by
but still
Like Delta Dawn
She wears her faded rose
Looking for a love
Looking for an acceptance
that maybe,
that maybe...
Can only be found
in Faery Tales
and Romance novels
Always on the outside
Always looking in
Wondering
Always wondering
Why,
Why or what it is
that is so unacceptable about her
Even she thinks she 's odd
Her head up in the clouds
Searching for something....
Making impossible demands
Living in her Faery Tale Land
Living on the outskirts of reality
She's an Echo,
A Shadow of something
not quite real
Lost
She just a Faery Tale Myth
Real, but not....

Her heart beats
for acceptance
Tears fill her eyes
as she realizes
That she still shuns herself
Her time is not now
Her heart has not bloomed
Slowly she turns away
Knowing this day
Loneliness embodies
her heart and soul

She just wants
someone to confide in
someone to understand

feeling so alone
she knows
no one wants...

the craziness
she brings -

a nerd, a pagan
a lover of learning
loves a video
in French
even though
she does not know the words

pain pierces her heart
as she knows...
well, she just knows
that something's not right

Sure, she knows
she not anybody
that someone wants

yes, loneliness is
her companion
she was foolish
to think anything else...

Lonely and filled with sorrow
Self-hatred burns bright, loss of self is profound
Defeated, she feels there is no tomorrow

Abandoned, she is left to beg, cheat and borrow
Hope is nowhere to be found
Lonely and filled with sorrow

She is torn asunder and on the morrow
She will stand firm and hold her ground
Defeated, she feels there is no tomorrow

As her heart is pierced by an arrow
The ground crumbles; she feels drowned
Lonely and filled with sorrow

She is bereft and feels quite hollow
Life makes no sense, leaving her confounded
Defeated, she feels there is no tomorrow

Hopeless, feeling despair she wallows
Afraid she’ll never rise up and be found
Lonely and filled with sorrow
Defeated, she feels there is no tomorrow

Beauty was in his smile
But within his eyes
Only Terror could be found

Love was never welcomed
within his heart...

Tears refused to well -
dried eye
He tried to tell the truth
Words got stuck
inside his throat

She saw his inner conflict
She offered him
A small sad smile

Both knowing the
Magic was gone
And death awaited him

Curled upon a porch swing
Bathed in the soft glow
Of moonlight
A gentle breeze
Stir memories
Long forgotten
As her finger tips
Caress her lips
She dreams...
Of a Passion lost
Her sigh blends
With the whispering leaves
As her tears mingle
With the evening mist
Longing for
Love's lost embrace

Love...
so strange
beautiful
sometimes ugly
fills my heart

A lover who...
draws a line on intimacy
who accepts, but not fully
who makes me laugh
but slings an arrow
a tear drop falls

Love so fulfilling
but leaves me wanting

Bittersweet...
the heart yearns
for romance
and sighs in comfort

Always touched
in friendship
denied a lover's touch
of sensual promise and passion

Love...
So strange
beautiful
sometimes ugly

Fills my life

Summer's heat
lingers...
Its coiling caress
is slowly choking her
She dreams
of Autumn's cool breeze
Gently playing
across her heated body
As wanton goosebumps
kiss their way down
down
down....
On her knees
she pleads...
Throwing off Summer's
coiling heat
and longing for
Autumn's chilled embrace

Moonlight at midnight
Weaves it's beautiful spell
As its kisses rain down
Like silken rose petals
Spreading love's glow
All around
