puckered lips to go un-kissed
left hanging in the wind

a Blackbirds song
on a path of its own

a shattered silence
singing of loves lament

squeezed onto the horizon
a future imagined-
taking to the unknown road

long shadow
dark days
freely abandoned
to love

how strange for a man to be so fully imbibed with hate
all the way to the unleashing of indiscriminate slaughter

Sometimes
Life feels like
Carrying a piano
While walking on
A tightrope

How can I put my mind into words
How do I show my soul lives in you

We can build a nest, like two birds do;
You know how much I care for you.

My dreams won’t come true without you,
I believe your love will make my life new.

I see you walking in my neighbor’s yard,
But you don’t glance toward my windows!
