The years have flown by
little sparks here and there
lots of hope and more tears
ohh so many for me ...

One birthday then another
lost a sister along the way
mom went to the way beyond
dad couldn't live with out his love
and followed right behind ...

Happiness poke his head
around the corner one day
but it didn't want to stay
what right is happiness
when nighttime forms its head
and I lay my tears to bed ...

This doesn't mean I am sad
I have been very blessed
but shouldn't there be something else?
I know maybe just maybe
I could feel again ...

I guess feelings have been dead
for so long I know
but maybe just maybe
I could feel again ...

You can't stop saving the people
you know you shouldn't help.
They are the shadows on the walls at night
that call out your name in your dreams.
There are no tomorrows for them,
just the insecurities of yesterday.
You haven't learned to say "No."
and it kills you every time
the words don't come out.
Unfinished, sorry >~<

Today I saw my love &
cupid paralyzed my face
with a arrow in my neck from high above.

now I sit here smiling.
now I'm stuck.

but,
this moment is everything;
this feeling is perfect enough.
I live in the dark, it is not my friend just a bails bondsman bringing me back from the anguish. In the dark no one knows you and you see no faces. You don't see the looks of disgust or the tears of disappointment. The dark is silent as it cloaks the whole room w it's dreadful embrace. Don't fight the dark because when the time comes it will be the confidante from the world you know. When the dark is near it'll never leave and you won't even notice the ones you love walk away. I live in the dark, but it is not my friend.
A briny deep of ink blobbed in a single drop
trembling at the tip of my head,
sliding to my toes, poised above
the golden trees of old parchment.
Deeper than the stroke of rouge
opera, with touch of light
and sable in the eyes, with
a love just as passionate
as when my heart found
my muse, and first penned it ....

How simple it would have been
like a rose that has risen our
love, like a bloom, more within
our flower, that you kissed,
days live within, for many suns to see,
moons reply, where Angels fly
and ride chariots of gold.
To love the hand that guide
my heart within loving seas
that rest under my loves breath
that is set deep in my eyes .....

And I thought I'd never go back...
But now look at where I am.
Sitting in the passenger seat of a minivan
I try to hold back all of the feelings
That have crept forward into my mind.

Today, I saw you.
Also something I've never thought would happen again.
You were driving past in your old, blue F-150.
I only caught a glimpse,
But in that glimpse I saw every hope and dream of us
That I've ever had.
Then I blinked, and it was all over.

And now I might want to plunge my worm and hook
Back into the same lake I found you.
But for all I know
You could be on belonging to another
And I just know that they wouldn't let you go.
The portal that rubs her deepest thoughts,
secret desires and fantasies
she lies on her bed, staring at the wall,
wanting more, wanting him
her head is clouded trying to remember what was said
what was done
the gap is widening,
the look of the bottomless abyss grows, she sinks
a tempest of emotions cradle of raw explosive nature,
at a distance she sees
at a distance she cries,
her blood boils, her thoughts run through her body
as she is walking this life alone, her past haunts her,
waiting and wanting what she cannot have.

She lay comatose of the vision she saw today,
with eyes shut, a vision from
the past, although she does not get out much,
she sits alone, translucent of her colors,
black and white and shades of grey.
The clock keeps ticking, a past
endeavor waits to be awaken,
countless moments of love loss, where words were never spoken.
With a cry for the fallen, a voice of wonder is upon her,
wondering was he really real.

Should this go on, or should it end?
The black rays of the sun sink deep in her soul,
in the improbability of reality.
Turning the outer layer of skin to a dark sensuality,
as the second layer boils and seethes of pain that rise to her fate,
as she tries to move on. She waits in vain, hoping he will wait for her.

As the Portals of Rain flows so deep,
she dreams of the summer rain, flushing her sins away.
When the silvery moon beams on her hair and love once again
will flow around her like sweet silver rain, just one more time,
as she waits in the Portals of Time.
