to love a poet
is to admit the world
is tragic

I was not born a

poet.

I was broken into

one.

I see you

I see you
I see that tear burning in the back of your eyes
When you say its okay I do not care
I see the sadness that you carry
When you act strong
I hear the pain in your voice
When you speak to me and say your fine
I see the lonliness at night when you
Hold your pillow so tight
wishing your holding someone tonight
To all the girls out there Tired of being alone
I see you and I love you

if this is what emotions are
hot water pounding down on my skin
the taste of stale alcohol trying to create some essence
of numbness
the words of music so loud in an attempt to drown out
the ache that my heart brings with each beat
I don’t want it
I don’t want any part of it

Be My Muse

Be my muse tonight, my love.  
Inspire me in my dreams.
In poetry, I'll think of you
where starlight always gleams.

As Morning Glories catch the sun,
I'll capture you in rhyme.
My heart will sing your praises
while you make my spirit climb.

The raindrops are a mockery
that try to match my tears,
which fall like diamonds on my cheeks
each time our parting nears.

Your eyes like pools of amber
often take my breath away.
Your lips demand attention
and my ardor doth obey.

Be my muse tonight, my love.  
Ensnare me with a kiss.
Enslaved my heart shall ever be
a prisoner of your bliss.

‪I don't just love you;‬
I love your imperfections,
those hard memories
beneath kind eyes,
when I watch you
gaze out my window
every morning
darling,
I was right.

You will always be in love.

You will always find love with galaxies in your eyes, you will always have that extra hop in your step, you will always flash that smile worth killing for.

You were always, always in love.


Just not with me.
Never with me.
In this life
We have love
We may not have had
The passage of time together
The years of naivety
Youth or freshness of spirit
We have not caressed
Our younger bodies
Enjoyed the sanctity of being as one
When our skin was smoother
Our touch was softer
Our hearts were open to receiving
More congenially
A time when we may have
Chosen indiscriminately
This led us down a road that was
Perhaps
Right for the time
Yet now outgrown ~
The model of love

We have the maturity of mind
Still the tenderness of heart
Enjoying the ability to cherish
That which the Universe brings us
We have more complex bodies
That savors the relaxed
Appeasing, sensuality of love-making
Remaining as a priceless work of art
Instead of the rushed; less intense
Inexperience youth often brings
We have each other in what will be
The ultimate love of its kind
The last known to us in this lifetime
Our twilight years, may come and go
But we have love that lives on
Forever recorded in history
The mistakes of the past rewritten
Because now, in this life
We truly found ~
The model of love
~ It's never too,late~

my mind crawls
the same way my skin used to.

admittedly, i draw blanks.
everything i say
is in prose,
yet everything i write
mimics a brick.

hard.
lifeless.
