For Amy

They say she was six
Seductive beyond her years
Hidden behind her childs eyes
A sea of silent tears

What a pretty little girl
They all used to say
Look as she walks
Her hips seem to sway

Someday she’ll be a model
Or a big runway star
With a look like that
She’s sure to go far

Walk like this, baby
And talk like that
Bow to the man honey
He puts the money in the hat

It wasn’t long
Before all knew her name
The pretty little girl
Playing a grown-ups’ game

No time for dolls
Her mother always said
With the price they pay
We can keep us all fed

Now you know, baby
You can’t go out and play
You have to sit for photos
With the nice men today

It’s ok sweet one
Show a little leg
It’ll make the nice men
Stand up and beg

Her soul had been sold
By the time she was ten
The life of a child
She’d never have again

She’s all grown up now
Feeling alone and abused
The marks on her arms
Tell of the things she’s used

Just one more fix
And the pain will go away
She’ll be alright now
Amy died today….

Finding Comfort

Borrowed words
From a borrowed time
A borrowed love
That could never be mine
Stealing a kiss
Taking a chance
Wishing on stars
Longing for romance
Knowing what’s right
Wanting what’s wrong
Finding some comfort
In another’s song

Hiding Behind the Collar

Father please forgive him

For once again he’s sinned

The words come all too easy

It’s as if they’ve been penned


Sing praises of Hail Mary

One so full of grace

It only takes a penance

To free him from this place


Locked inside a darkness

His soul begs to be well

While he is granted forgiveness

Another’s soul resides in hell


Having wiped his hands clean

And his secret safely locked away

He remains free to sin again

Another victim, another day


Suffer the little children

Unto him they shall come

But it is the demon in disguise

They need protection from


Hiding behind the collar

Shielded by our laws

Another child is molested

Still religious order has no flaws…

Her

You wait for her to reveal
The truths hidden behind her lies
You watch her in a silence
Removed from her disguise

Her strengths no longer shadowed
In her weaknesses flare
She’s musing again, it seems
Her darkest secrets, bare

Were they ever hidden
Or were you just blind
Questions you ask yourself
As you search for peace of mind

You hate that you wonder
What it could have been
Had she not belonged
In another mans den

Angry at yourself
For wanting to touch her still
A hunger locked deep inside
That only having her can fill

Somewhere in the madness
The faint hope for a taste still shines
And you watch her closer still
Trying to read between her lines.

Always Within My Heart

Shut your eyes, listen

Can you hear the waves rolling in

The sun feels so good 

As it dances on my skin

The air, freshly scented

Like a soft summer rain

Takes me to places

Far away from the pain

Warm breezes caress me

Gentle, like your touch

Reminding me of what

I’ve been missing so much

While I watch the sun rise 

Then slowly it sets

I think of the things 

I’ll never forget

The birth of my children

The smile of a friend

The way my soul feels

When touched by your hand

The taste of your lips

Sweet as honey wine

The melodies I see

When we combine

The distance doesn’t matter

When we are apart

You will remain forever

Always within my heart

No Boundary

Piece by piece
Till nothing’s left to hide
My mystery unfolded
Stripped of foolish pride
Bare naked skin
Emotions jagged and raw
You wouldn’t quit
Till you had it all
Look deep into my eyes
It’s all there for you to see
What stands before you
Is undeniably me
No pretense or game
Visibly shaking
Constraints removed
Ripe for the taking
Is this what you wanted
What you needed to see
The freedom to enter 
Inside without boundary

As Time Went By

His love healed her

When her soul had died

He beckoned her tenderly 

Till she could no longer hide

In a time of struggle

When the lights were grey

His soft pleading

Made her stay

His practice of what is

And what should not be

Gave her the courage

To set herself free

He entered her life

Like a gentle sigh

She grew to love him

As time went by

The Darkness of Desire

While life dreams of satisfaction
In muted shades of red and gold
Jaded hearts burst with emotion
And souls are bought and sold

My memories hang in shadows
Like stains on an ancient wall
The silent screams can be heard
As the moon begins to fade and fall

A finger of somber discontent
Jabs at an inflamed archaic pain
Seeking the darkened passion
That once nearly drove me insane

In an everlasting capricious sleep
Deep within the catacombs of my mind
I search in vain for a final peace
To which it seems, I’m blind

How can one possibly desire
That which hurts so much
I pray in the darkness that he never sees
Just how much I crave his touch

For My Friend

You entered my life 
Like a soft gentle rain
There was no agenda
You had nothing to gain

You made me feel liked
Even valued at times
You were simply my friend
In spite of my crimes

We flirted and teased each other
Throughout some of the days
Sometimes we just chatted
When we had nothing to say

I cherish the way you’ve trusted me
With the secrets that you’ve shared
About your wants and needs
About for whom you’ve cared

I know it wasn’t easy
Letting go of my past
You could have walked away
Left me standing as an outcast

For this I am grateful
And always will be
You gave the greatest gift
You liked me, for me
