wounded Aug 2013

words laced with rancor
hurled in anger
wounding deep
with hurtful intent
neither finding the way
or courage to say
i love you, I’m sorry
can we start anew
destined it seems eternally
to spending endless wasted days
shared together alone

dream died //

what of the dreamer
who dreams no more
can he simply recycle
buy more at the store

the bold pirate prince
with the blushing bride
sailed away long ago
on a pale moonlit tide

the old white knight
tears burned to dust
fear replaced chivalry
his sword turned to rust

the surfer boy as well
is he now gone too
they’ve left everyone
the dream died with you

grasp //

the tighter and more desperately we grasp
trying to hold, control or even own
someone or something that isn't now
and quite possibly was never ours
the faster and farther away they'll fly
to find the freedom we try to deny

game of love //

greetings to all my wonderful friends
wordsmiths romantic, eclectic and bold
you touch my heart and make me smile
much love to you all both new and old

i promise to bring the love and laughter
some strangeness and a bit of sorrow too
thank you for sharing your words with me
and for kindly letting me share with you

life my dear friends is a game of love
beauty and blessings too many to name
you lose every time that you don’t play
yet each time you love you win the game

upon a star //

i sat silently neath a sighing moon
and nearly made a wish upon a star
but sadly they've nothing to offer me
as stars can't take me where you are

we were perfect once upon a time
now all that remains is a jagged scar
i'm sorry doesn't change anything
but i'll forever love you from afar

you're everything //

today i've no need for anything
you're everything that i desire
you returned my missing smile
of you my heart could never tire

a life that's better than a dream
i never believed that i could find
someone so lovely falling for me
i guess it’s true that love is blind

i love you more each passing day
forever a doubter now i'm believing
you're everything and so much more
my heart is home it’s never leaving

carrousel //

it hurts to breathe, to think, to be
stop this carousel, i can't play
it's hard to fly with tearful eyes
and i don't feel anything today

diamonds dahlias daggers and dust
i wonder i do, is anything real
this crazy calliope carrousel ride
sometimes makes it hard to feel
