Just to see your mouth frothing,
and your un-consicous-ness,
and the doctor declares
all your battling and history
has been for nothing.
I still remember
your first hospital stay,
I bought you chewies
that were your favs,
You said "thank-you for this"
With a cheery smile,
though it was the storm
of what was to come.
I asked God to forgive you,
so many fricking times!!!

BUTTERFLY LOVERS
songer.co/song/kfuxcl6o4174njro9t82lspc
Verse 1
She hides behind the world they’ve made,
A daughter’s place, a masquerade.
But in her heart, the truth burns bright,
A love she can’t let go, out of sight.
Pre-Chorus 1
Through the years, their souls have danced,
A silent bond, a fleeting glance.
But promises made, in the shadows creep,
And she’s not the one he’s allowed to keep.
Chorus 1
She falls

LOVE LIVES ON
When I lose someone I love…someone who was close to me
I try my best to follow the Native Nations’ wisdom and philosophy…
To stay with them a while
in those sweet places I call memories
To visit their smile often
To let their light warm and fill my heart
And always remember
Their love lives on through me

love’s last press
silly dream …
but it’s mine nonetheless
wait …
wait for it …
I’ll wait for it now and ever
to feel that press
the press of sweet tenderness
that melting mouth that met mine all
those aching moonrises ago
the first - a swollen-full blue of July
so bright it drowned the stars …
a muggy twilight of steamy mist and
cricket song and a hazy
dance

My Friend Is the Ocean
My friend is the ocean, waters that glide,
Rustling my footsteps and tousling my hair;
Many the times that we walked side by side,
A spark and forever, joined as a pair.
Always a cloud there lay over its play,
Dappled the sunlight that fell on my face;
Heaving, its waters had something to say;
Twilight with meteors it took for the

two bodies one soul
reversed and reformed repost edit.
once before humans walked the earth. before Adam and Eve before the trees and the air we breathe there was one-
one physical body with four legs four arms and two heads as well as one soul accompanied by one heart. as full of love and self as they could be.

This thing called death
This thing called Death
Lay me down by the one I love
In the light from the moon above
Let me hear his quiet breath
As we face this thing called death
Let me gaze upon his face
Feel his body his warm embrace
See the way he looks at me
This is how love
is supposed to be
Lay me down by the

HOW DO WE DO IT?
How do we do it? How do we go on
when the ones that we love are no more?
How do we face it, when each day is done
and there’s no footsteps crossing the floor?
When the house is so empty, and so is your heart
and the silence can drive you insane
When the memories of love lost, are

I'll Kiss Him Like Forever Is An Option, part one
The sickness is quiet, like the way winter creeps in. First with a chill, then with a silence so heavy it makes your ears ring. I carry it in my bones, in the soft tissue of my ribs, in the tiny thread between heartbeats that whispers: it’s not much longer

Corridors of Quiet Chaos
Blinding lights, the smell of chlorhexidine
Green colored scrubs, white coats and the strange red of povidone-iodine
A place where chaos and calm coexist as two sides of a coin
A realm where anguish and hope align, a balance between both cruel and divine
It’s a glimpse of hope for some, for others it’s a livelihood
It’s a place where

My Winter, Your Summer
the snow
undissolved
amid my heart
wanders eternal
as does my avidity
its difficult to accept
“to move on to forget”
six feet yet unreachable
how will this feeling melt
my everything lost tomorrow
‘we’ wander, separate, absent
as I hang by the blistering icicle
I want to accept but never forget
will a 'farewell' do me as to liberty
my tears frozen yet sentiments warm
let our memories perpetual

Turn into love instead
When I am dead,
all the things I wrote,
all the things I said,
that made you criticize,
irritated and distressed,
made you uncomfortable
in your heart and the head,
will become dearer,
be the sorrow a real good measure,
will bring tears
if you let the thought stand nearer
and will turn into love instead.
The love that I wanted and you
did not understand.

The Drowned Dragon
Drowning anguish,
Black bleached seamstress,
In eyes share intimacy,
In life comes wonder,
An ire forelivid,
A tomorrow for two,
Stars wretched in darkness,
Breathing for the hand,
Of the dark ocean hue.
