Lessons earned.
Promise.
Wry smiles,
when I remember
just how much
in awe
we were.
Perfection.
Respectful
of the unspoken.
When asked,
it all fell apart.
Half dreams,
hopes split.
Truth broke as
visions . . .

two years
it's been
twice gone
your birth
marks death
nails shut
my heart
and i
find myself
wondering again
the choices
i make
if they're
truly acceptable
do you
know why

I hear YOU.
I wake up
to a heart
that isn't mine.
Longing to blow
spirits of healing
courage and wisdom,
I pray'd for
a "break" through.
Patch'd it with
hope and . . .

not the tearing of souls
embracing potential
premeditated commitments
spontaneous generosity
sparkles spilling from your spirit
destiny taking a detour
absence of fear with reckless courage
abandoned . . .

Stone me
don't throw me
against the walls
separating our hearts
Does it empower you
to keep this storm
inside your accusations
by
picking at splinters
making me bleed
Your anger
squelches
the calm . . .

what it took
I can't forget
sometimes we need
the single space
to double
for clarity
and we called a truce
only to find
what we were looking
for
slip me your cards
i'll shuffle them . . .

i wish'd you here
to share pieces of m'heart
you so lovingly collect
and hang upon the walls
of your own
to tell you m'tales
of elusive love
and anchor'd wisdom
taught in your absence . . .

I learned something new today.
It wasn't as if you were here.
I heard your voice...
the simple words of wisdom that
tumble effortlessly
time and time again.
Wouldn't you laugh,
I wonder,
over . . .

Maybe it's thunder
that clouds judgement
Maybe it's lightning
that strikes vulnerability
Maybe it's tears
we forgot to shed
that streak windows
into souls
So misleading
is the ray . . .

It sneaks up on me
tip-toed words of wisdom
from mem'ries tucked
behind my ears
Don't touch m'hair
unless it's a reminder
harsh realities ricochet
and the way you don't say
I love . . .

the reminder
clears away
nothing but

to dust

of nothing
regret can
sway
tender

why is it
i can't ask
the simple question
of what matters?
do you believe?
what, you'll ask.
then i'll answer:
do you believe
in a heart
guided by three
father, son, spirit

Tip of the temple

etched against the promise
of baby blue
with patches of perfection
Promise

It's fucked up really…
This fusion of two pretenses
And I'm not impressed
By pomp and circumstance
Where the situation bleeds
And I'm at the mercy of
Mercenaries who choose
To rob the . . .

with words

sometimes broken
parts of my soul
entwined with his

from another mother
different fathers

filled with stars

Bring back from slivers of past mistakes
hook them up and strap them onto
another pack I've picked up on the way.
It's been another round without much to ask
for in return.
I've given more . . .

i called out
for i knew not
what perturbed me more
the dim reminder
of innocence lost
and laughter
forgotten
the quiet insistence
of a friendship
sworn
and torn
by pride
pulled
tried
not true
and you . . .

I stare down at the silver mules. The toeless panty-hose bites the tender spot between my big and little toes. Ouch is an understatement. I try not to bite my lip. Brick-red lipstick on pearly-whites don't . . .
