I wander these crowded streets
Foreign, reserved, and alone
A past memory never repeats
Distant, concealed, and unknown

My eyes recollect the places
But the places appear much older
My heart will connect to the faces
But the faces appear far colder  

The strangers will pass me by
Ordinary, humble, or proud
Their voices will laugh and sigh
Composed, quiet, or loud

I walked once through this door
But the door remains never open
I felt belonging here once before
But the before remains now broken

Don't get lost in my eyes
I don't want you there,
Don't steal a kiss
It's mine, and wouldn't be fair,
And don't you dare take my heart,
It would be foolish to start
And then would just hurt
In a hole filled with air
And then I'd be empty
And you wouldn't care
So stay out of my head,
**I don't want you there

Under the tree I stare silently
at the waste my angst would cause
I’m left breathless without the words
that leaves my thoughts without pause

Beneath the breeze that would seize
my sigh that bathes a mountainous landscape
I’m left reeling beneath leaves that dance a tune
while their own seasons allow their very own escape

Of Earth and Wind and Sunsets Fire
I’m writhing inside an unearthly desire
to wait for your presence. I remain true
I’ll sit ( and contemplate) and wait for tomorrow
if it is with you

I could take the walk without the talk
and leave all impressions in the dust

... unless I’m desperately alone

Between me
and the tree
One is real
the other
I trust

Sometimes I just want to hide
But he sees me..
Even when no one else does

These are days of change.
Eggshell cracks,
Sun rising differently.

Sometimes I put my ear to
The ground and listen.
Heartbeat choirs of

Our unborn children.
Seeds of poets.
Write love; not war.

Arcanus
Spring's rain and winds have blown away;
Summer has died and Autumn too.
But in the sad emptiness of my heart
Winter beckons me to its cold embrace.
It is now so many long Decembers past
Since I lost the one true love of my life;
No, she did not die, I cast her out proudly
As she refused to leave her unloved spouse.
A victim of religious hypocrisy.
And now we both dread the future on our own,
Self-pitying victims of our idiotic pride.
