Personal Quote: To the world you may be one person, to one person you may be the world.

Contemplation
of you,
of us..

A fresh start,
like the beginnings
of a sidewalk square.

Your name
intermingled with my own,
like a signature in time.

As time passes,
we change
showing our many colors,

Months change into years...
weathered, broken, and warped;
angry words have their say.

Breaking off
into little pieces
absorbed back into ourselves,

Lush weeds
have taken the place
of so many footprints in time.

Personal Quote: "Even super heros die."

she took the dark handled brush
and drenched constellations across the paper kissing it
lovingly, she left her imprint like fingertips
caressing the nape of one’s neck the raindrops
glistened, rolling down rosy cheeks from clouds black
and long, accentuating the ocean

the stars stretched out along the lines, in between the
cracks of time, each a memory soon to be lost

Personal Quote: "If you love something set it free, if it comes back to you it is yours;
if it doesn't come back it never was."

A guarded cell, your massive wall of stone.
Not one window to let the sunlight in.
At arms length you say, you'll not die alone.
A door with no key, you did not intend.
When construction began there was no doubt.
Tragedy led you to this pain and guilt.
Letting nothing in, letting nothing out.
Unyielding it stands, this prison you built.
Travelers came with gifts of compassion.
The timing was off, 'twas not the right hour.
Their brave labors were met with aversion.
Love withdrew while you watched from your tower.
Under deaths breath, a key you uncover.
The time is at hand, the time to atone.
Love is forsaken there is no other.
Your wall now becomes your casket of stone.

Personal Quote: "Good things always happen when it rains."

Dance in my throat,
little feelings,
and on my heart-
flicking off like nail polish
on like fluorescent bulbs.

Pluck at acoustic hair
that prompts promises
and think
all the ways I love you
I forget
until you smile
with eyes and lines that
undo me
knock down
the child-safety-gate
guarding my heart.

When I look at you face
Its so peaceful, so perfect.

Im entranced by the sweet spells you cast.
Im hoping to hold you in my arms one day,
My sweet guilty love
No one will ever know whom this love is for.
Its just another secret I will take to my grave.
My sweet guiltyy love that Ill love forever more.
That perfect angel that has blessed my life,
...My sweet guilty love.
