canyon wren
sings her sweet song
perched upon
the piñon-

for my love
who lies beneath-
the cottonwood
twee twee twee
tsheeeeee.

r
shadow man-

measuring my span-
born(e) in the space between
heart beats and the unforseen

hiding on the periphery
of  crow's feet and defeat
-the shadowy me

snickering peripheral(ly)
i got yo numba-
boy.

Tracing the outline of your scars
Is like reading your soul.
The stories they can tell.
Just more parts to your whole.
Never cover them,
Do not be ashamed
Your scars show the truth
Of life filled with love and pain.
They are a part of you,
What makes you truly whole
I'll trace the outline of each scar
To better understand your soul.
For a friend.
You know who you are. :)
I clone you in my mind, I'm slightly off into my zone.
I'd call you with my phone, but again, you decide to be alone,
Talking to myself, seems to help, so I drone on and on,
You seem to come to mind when I think of letters home.
I think of all the times that we shared when we were known,
and how we would set the tone as we have grown to move along.

I remember all the times we shared fries, and we watched the sun rise.
I remember the stars in the sky, and the ones in your eyes.
I remember when we cried, when bad times came by.
I remember our goodbye, the love we let fly.

You aren't perfect, but you've made life worth it.
When you're around you clear the pain below the surface.
I was hurting, in my mind I was worthless,
You taught me how to love myself, I love you that's for certain.

Close the curtains please, join me in our place,
I want to take you up in my arms, and kiss you on your face.
You are my solar system, you are my outer space.
Heartbeat racing, fingers tracing, the lacings of your galaxy.

Coup de grace! Fantasy again mixes with reality.
The bottle hits the floor like in a cliche'd tragedy.
You aren't the same person, you burn off apathy.
You were here, now you're gone, you're resentful, and you're mad at me.

I left you far behind, when our love was in our prime,
Now you don't give me the time, I always seem to cross some line.
It seems to you I'm slime because you always gripe and grime,
It's never good enough for you, no matter how high I climb.

This mountain of love I made for you, is so quiet, so giant.
But you walk away from me, and make your own island.
So I'm jumping off for you, this is sure to be violent.
Now you get your wish, I'll forever be silent.

I miss the magic,
Of new romance,
Blossoming,
A feeling of electricity,
Beyond the point of words,
Chemistry immeasurable,
The crippling happiness,
Exhilarating fear,
A riot of feelings,
Heart stampeding,
Mind enveloped,
Stomach twisted,
Eyes entranced,
Completely, utterly, spellbound,
Oh, how I miss the magic
He was such a sweet talker,
Met him at a real nice bar
He didn't have a ring on
I didn't know it would go so far

Yes, he is a charming *******
That sounds like his M O
Always getting drunk in a bar
Looking for his next ***

That's not how it was
He wasn't even that drunk
I see it all clearly now
His lies all stunk

The first thing I thought
as I saw you two together
Is not what a lady should say
So I think that I had better
Keep my mouth shut
And rise above the situation
Calling you a ****
Would just start a confrontation.

Listen here, "wife"
I didn't know he was married,
Thats not my type.
Throw away this hatchet you carried
I'm not the one you should be mad at,
He's been doing this behind BOTH our backs!

That is fine "mistress"
I think we can both agree
He is the one to blame and
it shouldn't be taken out on you or me
Now the hatchet that you talk of
The one that I have carried
I know what we should do
And where it should be buried

Who knows how many times
He's sweet talked an innocent girl
We could do something real nice
To rock his fantasy world
What do you say, you and me?
I think this could be destiny.....


**To Be Continued.....
