I Met You Today

I met you today 
Memory you will erase 
I stayed positive

I could feel your pain
You did not want to let go
Our paths must part now

The tears were hidden
until I was left alone
I miss you dearly

Sense cannot be made
Of the circumstances that be 
Fate dealt a cruel hand

I had just met you
But our friendship ran too deep
Then you said to me

We shall never again speak.

Memorial Day

Memorial Day

Nightmares haunt him in his sleep
The faces of soldiers he couldn't keep 

His body drenched in sweat, yet 
shivering with chill
As I lay beside him wishing peace 
within would hold him still

He sees their shadows in memories 
throughout the day
Yet he wakes and pushes on, willing it 
away

The fireworks displayed on many 
holidays
Remind him of sounds from those 
horrid days 

He defended our country, his actions 
are with honor
Yet in his reflection he cannot see the 
valor in the mirror 

Scars from battle are visible on his skin
But the scars run so much deeper 
within

He walks with regret because he no 
longer serves and protects
His body worn down, but he worries 
about the men that he feels he neglects

A man of honor, a soldier, a vet
Someone many easily forget

Their sacrifices are more than most 
can imagine 
The simple idea many could not fathom

So, today remember those who have 
fallen and do not forget
To be thankful for the service of our 
Vets.

Soulmate

I have married two men in my life
And I loved neither

I have loved two men in my life
And I couldn't marry either

The relationship with each
Fleeting though it may have been

Was magical and whimsical
Like sparks floating in the wind

Our souls linked together
In this life and perhaps another

One lives out a life in my dreams
without seeing him for many years

The other still a fresh memory
Provokes many fresh tears

I know they are not mine
To hold or to long for

But deep in my heart a memory
Is protected by a padlocked door

Let go and let love
Is what they always say

Let go and let live
Is the lesson I obey

For these are kindred spirits
Or at least I pray

Just a glimpse of my soul mate
And how he'll be one day 

For in all my pain and agony
I have lost myself and others

But my journey is just beginning
Because I know there is another

You Think You Know Me

You think you know me
Look through my eyes to see
You don't know my fears,
Angers, what brings me tears 
You see my pretty face
And curves in all the right places
You don't see the ugly rot inside
too far gone to be revived 
You don't know my passions in life
or all my struggles and strife
You see me as loving and sweet
deep within is misery, no treat

When you look deep into my eyes
You see your own reflection
My eyes hide my fear and depth 
your lust is for a misconception

You must break down my walls
To even begin to know the real me 
when I speak it it is in truth
But I can tell a good story

What Are You

What are you?

What is a painter
Without his brush

What is a lover
Without his lust

What is a poet
Without his lyric

What is a doctor 
Without the sick

What is an artist
Without his muse

What is a survivor
Without the abuse 

What is joy
Without the sadness

What is humility
Without the madness

What are you
Without your words

Actions speak louder
Lack of them burns

Alone

Alone
When I wake
Alone
When I sleep
Alone
When I'm happy
Alone
When I'm sad
Alone
When I'm mad
Alone
When I'm in pain
Alone
When I'm in love
Alone
When I'm with others
Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone

Do I choose to be alone to be safe
Or do I choose it for peace

Even in laughter and love
Right now, I am alone
