I scream
                 I scream

I scream your name
into the empty
moonlight
by the cold firelight

I scream
just to hold you
tight

to be dancing in the broad daylight

scream with me
scream by my side
scream for the hours
lover must suvire

by the cold fire light

dear sir,
this was my jacket, a fine coat it is.
it held me tight an kept me from fright.
in the wind we would go, bright sun would shine down as I'd
cruise all over town.
I'm gone now, the coat hangs limp.
a constant reminder to my wife so fine of the life I left behind.
I plead with thee,
do not tread my path.
not a poem, just a open letter to the unknown other

Deyer
It's so easy
to write while grief spews from
the greatest depths of your character.
Everyone, too,
needs to read about the heartbreak,
the lingering heartache that makes
life decisions feel like clouds.
And it's so easy to give in
and put pitied pen to paper,
and the beautiful only
blossoms with agony, angst, and anger.
Infrequently, though,
can you really find the blood curdling words
that turn ache into anything but
agony. Only then
is a poet born.

Woe lone beach travler
The anwser you seek
Is much to deep
For i am only the sea

I can only cover an mask
Your burning question
you must ask
Will never be answered
while you hold so fast

For i am only the sea
I can not carry thee
Cast it away
And do not stray
This is the only
way.

As i walked
I talked a lot
Questions asked
The sea at last
Replies so fast
You can not hear with thine ear
You must see past
The last
Tear
For dont you see, that taste of salt is me
in you
I am you
You are me
We walk together
Im all about you
You will last forever.

My mother the sea
She waits to be with me
The sand so deep
Grabs ahold of me
Filtering my soul
While exfolateing the old
My mother the the sea
Cant you see
I need thee
I see the sea as part of me
With its salt upon my lips
I embrace its new day
For i have been washed away
...
.. just two quick minutes. Work it over for me TonyaRiddle. Its missing the refreshed , the return . There is something lacking that only you can fill on this eve of the greatest gift to be recived.

Eyes like cherry's
Skin so bruised
Weeps beside me

Salted red glossed cried in deep
Stomped to the floor
Thousand miles apart

She knows the  struggle
Right where im at.
A chance meeting
Ever so brief

Talk to her,
never heard her voice.
Picture it,
coming soft,
like trying to calm a scarred dog,
just enough hand extended,
hesitate from bit to much.

Touch of nuzzle
Bend of ear
Drop of tail
Under her palm
with just a nudge.
Ok its just a start, will twist an fix later
