A pretty girl

a tragic smile decorates
her otherwise
pretty face

a pretty girl
she could have been
could have been...

But knowledge slit her like a sword

open, end to end
exposed

and all her heat grew cold, so cold
and yet......

yet

except for the
telling smile

she shows the world

she could have been.... a pretty girl

The Last Remains

Turn away your eyes,
leave me here with this
sweet sorrow


And I will clutch at the last

remains...

For this dream’s
come undone


Another discarded deserted one
A broken down disgrace


But

I can’t turn away my eyes
So I will
lay here beside



the last remains
our last remains...



For it isn’t over, no it is not over,
It is not over until



I say so

Underground Sanctuary

her fingernails bear the mark
earth packed down to her skin
from where she has clawed
scraped, dug
this hole...


she lives within
it’s misery
beneath the ground


it’s a sanctuary
where she conceals...

what others should never know about.


she breathes in dank
dirt, death.

she won’t crawl out,
quite yet,
for the pain still resonates.

it thumps, runs through her like a fire
burning ever brighter.
it thrives.

and here in her Land of Dark
she dies,
dies, dies

rips at the ground to cover herself
and prays....

to be
buried alive...

Begging

I want to touch you
on a shore, kissed by the sun.


I want to touch you
in the center, where your past lays.


I want to touch you
in the depths- of your bitter soul.


Let me know you...
a fraction of your days.


give me moments
give me moments
give me more


give me glimpses
give me seconds
give your touch


give me this
give me time
give me us



give me moments
give me glimpses
give me...



love.

An Internal Open Wound

I’m dying
right here, now,

in front of his eyes but

unnoticed by him.

he can’t see the wounds

bleeding away pieces... of... me...

death
would be merciful but
he insists “no one gets out of this that easy.”


a heaviness passes through the air
and I start to believe
even ghosts can’t break free
of him.


He can’t escape himself
so why, his illogical mind declares, why should I?

Sinking Floating Surrender

October 26, 2006

let me sink
in this sea
of words that call me home

let me fall
into a swirling blue mist
and never see the surface again
breathe in the essence of Shakespeare,
Emma, fire and ice

and drown in my own
expressions
loving, loving, loving
this falling without effort

yet, never reaching the ocean floor

living now, then, forever
a sinking floating
surrender
among the words that I
adore
