I hope that 
your Personal New Years 
was everything a sixteen year young, lady 
could ever wish for on her 
Special New Year.

When you were a baby 
I used to run into your room every time I heard you cry
Now I wish that I could...

Losing the belonging in debris of broken heart
to the silent shore of sorrow I had sauntered.
My emotions swirled like dislodged moist sands
in the tide of remote time when you were mine.

On the rolling sea made of billion drops of tear
descended somber shadow of night’s slate...

her thoughts flicker
like that old streetlamp
awaiting to cast shadows
of passerby's that never come

the streets are silent
like a mind without a voice
as she scribbles
amidst the darkness
her thoughts
on a stage
without a crowd

black against black
her words tumble
downward
casted out 
in shadows
unseen
unheard

she bleeds poems
where words form
like tears in corners of...

I read the language of your flame
in whispers the world never taught me--
where every breath leaves ash on the soul
and love glows
just before it burns.

You speak in storms,
in echoes of rose and ruin,
where every pulse is both prayer and dare,
and I find myself--
not lost, but...

The abyss so deep so profound
It didn't thwart our efforts
It made us strong of mind
Gave us a sense of unity
To see thru the light
At the end of this
endless Tunnel
this is today,but yesterday's
Gone by recalling a time
When our bodies ached
Working 16 hour days 
16 hour nights...

LIFE IS A FLICKER IN THE WINDOW
“Life is like a flame’s flicker in the window, the window of time. One moment the spark is there, and the next it’s gone."

When you look at a flame, what do you see?

     I see...

Floating in the sanctity of a tiny tranquil sea,
hidden from the world by only a fragile wall,
unaware of the uncertainty of their own mortal future.

Wide innocent eyes blinded by a bright light,
unable to see the evils and prejudices of mankind
and the society that emulates his...

flames flicker desires

seek to share unique light

battle rages on

If I were to swagger off the streets
Some gangster as I perched the skulduggery 
Of my litany in glitter and smoke
An ageless vandalism to linger unknown
While I sneer from the lounging corner of your TV

Would you recognise me

Though I slide sheathed in the flags and...

I draw honey blowing wind 
thinking of you ore precious gift
like a snowflake pure unique
One of a kind in seventh Heaven
arriving within these eyes kissing a diamond

You're my angel rays softly touching outside
gently inside sighs the one in a thousand dreams 
Beautiful nine floating in...

You came into my life
You made me glad you came
You changed my feelings
From a flicker to a flame

You found me at the bottom
You raised me to the sky
You gave me inner warmth
I know will never die

You reached into my soul
And took away the pain
You cured...

How fleet is a flicker of the mind
Perhaps with a noble thought assigned
To explore some lofty domain?

Electrical impulses move about
Seeking logical connections, no doubt,
And thought processes attain.

Convolutions so deeply etched
Cradled in the cranium to fetch
Details of facts in a complex chain.

Currents travel down neuron highways
With...

North Richland Hills grew a rainbow I wanted to hold in my hand
Wand for wishing I don’t know what to reach-ask for?
Plethora is sunshine below the bow along your Texas land
Donned a different approach—your rainbow opens a door!
 
Wand for wishing I don’t know what...

I light a candle for I love its soft light
But it flickers despite no breeze in night
I like the flicker, but I want it to be happy
To be steady, contented, a friend true and sure.

Is it puffs of wind that disturb it so?
I feel no...
