Windows tend to rattle When the frigid winds of winter arrive.Sycamores waving limbsWhile seasonal change is stirring the air. Glistening whiteness drifts As fallen snow spreads over the rooftops. Bright sunlight gleams brieflyPeeking through the gray clouds floating above. Watching our breaths puffing,The city sounds and smells are now muted. Skipping through clinging flakesGloved hands grip tightly as we run and play. G...

It seemed so simple to me And I thought it would be for you.But here we areApart. Complications whereTrust isImplicitMakes little sense,But there it is my friend. My friend,Never again. It seems this is the end. Lives are not that easy to read,Lives are not that easy to live,Lives are not easy,But trust is.Or should be,Don't you agree. Did you decide that someone was more,Did you decide that someone must be the coreOf you...

Let me bleed, let me drain my life away, Let me leave the world this day.I gaze out on the vistas beyond.Let there be no tears, I have no fears. I know that we have forged a bondYou know me well and wish me all the best But hope cannot be found On this death ground Where I will find my rest. Know this, my closest friend  There was a beginning, now there is an end, But know also my life was good. I sought to serve, I knew...

Is this her heartMisplaced and hurt Gentle softnessHer slight shoulders Those of the  Unknown trooperWho bears the loadWhile the brutesRip her apartIn the questTo own the right. Twinkling in the lightIs bleeding To be seenTricklingDown her spineIt colors theLoss she feelsFrom the bitterBiting hatredSpent upon herTo make her bend. And she won'tShe never willBecause it is notPart of her soulPart of her spiritPart of her lif...

"Here be dragons." No ancient maps that we know of have these words. Only one globe from the 16th century contains the words in Latin form. But what a great descriptor of the unknown and the mysterious. The dangerous and treacherous.These words came to mind when I thought of you. And I did think of you. And then rejected the words and remembered the beauty. The beauty of the sharing and swearing of fidelity.And the love t...

Someone wants to caress You know who Someone wants to guide You know whoSomeone wants to comfort You know who You have always known Who I amYou have always seenWho I amYou have always feltWho I am Our dance may be dancedIf you want meOur song may be sungIf you want meOur souls may be joinedIf you want me Such was the way we touchedBefore you scornedSuch was the way we livedBefore you spurnedSuch was the way we lovedBefore...

We all have them don't we The friends that bring no benefits To the relationship at all anymore They may have started out sweet And caring and interested in us But that seems to have passed Never to return it seems to us Because we try to reach out to them And get ignored for our efforts It would seem the least they could Do was to express interest in our Work that we put out there for them And all the others who do care...

In my mind she exists and she is really realHow dumb is that Anyway. When will I realize that she stopped being thereWhen she leftIn a mist. But my mind is a frangible substance that willFall apart if I thinkToo much. I sustain my visions of the impossible by faithIn her becoming mineThrough will. Systematic resistance to the truth has me hereWhere I am todayIn denial. Do not try to tell me it is otherwise my friendsBelie...

You know I don't believe in fateBut somehow it must be the truth For how can this go unexplainedThe way I found my life in you. Adrift without a path to trodThe mists of drifting raindrops fellAnd dampened all my dreams of joyIt was an aimless way to live. Dreams came and went within my mindOf soft caressing hands so fineThat touched my face and fed my soulWith tenderness and selfless love. I felt that I had known beforeA...

Songs reflecting from the walls of my heart  Echoing with sibilance in chambers Deep within my resentful defenses Built from years of pent up fears and spent tears All it means is that she will never sing With her true voice and her true soul exposed Only under the stealthy wings of pain Falling upon my heaving breast and chestShe simply gives what she has never felt But takes what she wants as she strums the strings In t...
