Of Crows and PossumsSitting on a long deck
At a trailer
In South Georgia
Wind in the Pine Trees
Reading Nathaniel Hawthorne
My stomach is empty
except for
this longing and guilt
A murder of Crows
loudly soar through
Creasing the boughs of the Pines
It is only
Them and I
And
Love that I left
Love that I lost
A hollow serenity settles in
I pull at the Scarlet Letter
Blazing on my chest
Hester exposed
As...

Words to YouI have an innocent fellow in me,
I keep it hide from around me.
He has no mind but only a heart,
so pure, so delicate and innocent,
I need to keep it away from all,
world so wicked, intentions of devil.
He needs faith; He speaks the truth,
But around disguised in devil faith,
And You did a dangerous thing.
Assured him as...

As This River Gives, Rock a Bye, Lyrics
As this river gives, not giving a damn
Emptying out the lake of hate, I am
This ecosystem dies, but was it alive?
Just surviving on dreams that I kept inside
Confusion fills me, deep as this hole
The sinkhole depths mirror my soul
No reflections to see, nothing left to find
Just hollowing cries, and thoughts unkind
Saturated tears, muddled in fears
A...

Your divorceWith this demand you
hoped to evoke
in me the fear that
made even your bones
cold from exposer
frail and bitter the sound
they made as they
rattled around at the knees.
But You can not own even
this for the words
were not yours to speak of
dissolution and disparities.
and still you uttered
such falsehoods
an attempt to hurt...

Am I drowning?Another conversation within myself.
Another riddle within the spectrum of possibility.
Wouldn't it be wise to search for someone in this
moment of desperation?
Fighting to wipe away these tears that wont keep.
Standing in the rains of despair.
The machine becomes obsolete.
How to find clarity?
Diluted fantasies?
I know somewhere my questions
cease transcending the mark that keeps them guessing.
A fallible...

A Pound of FleshWhat is it that you need from me? -
I pray that you do tell.
For everything I've offered -
hasn't gone over too well.
Patience as you grow? -
As you learn from your mistakes?
No, that cannot be it -
because you've never really changed.
Could it be understanding? -
For me...

Save Our MarriageMy love, my heart
You're my shining star,
It's In your eyes,
That my soul goes far.
Our marriage, a flame
that's burning bright,
I want to save our marriage
Make it last through the night.
We've shared laughter,
And all of our fears,
Through every storm,
we've dried each other's tears.
Our bond is strong,
And our love is true,
I want...

The Decrepit Torn WomanBorn with beauty all over her face
Trim to fit leather and lace
Always attractive with her new looks
Catching her prey with her sexy sharp hooks
Green was the color she held in her purse
Men in suits would burden her curse
Whatever she wanted she got with her sass
And what helped her...

VacancyIn twilight’s hush, where dreams commence,
I wandered lost in limerence.
A glance, a spark, a breathless flame,
Yet never once he spoke my name
Love lived in ache, not permanence.
Who am I to wake a beast
Dressed up in stark reality?
For all the signs I could not read
And all the signs I did not see,
Love left within a...

The Bottom of the GlassThe Bottom of the Glass
Where do we go when we need to escape?
Moving forward, who do we blame?
Sometimes we go to a place to hide.
From here on out we don’t let anyone inside.
We live a lonely life.
While we leave the past behind.
Apart from another,
There's no going back...

Shadowswe're living with shadows,
I know we can't forget.
We are not the same ones we were.
Quite the opposite.
You gave me your reasons,
and I couldn't live with them
so you don't owe me a thing.
Can I ask you this?
If you have an answer
and I find a question for it. Can we
dance in...

Repeating Sentiments from her MommyWe had to divorce daddy the five-year-old said
Her mommy had planted this inside her head
He is uncourtable she announced with sass
What does that mean? I asked the tiny lass
We are angry with him, Mommy and I
A tiny tear slid out of her little left eye
Daddy still loves you, I told her, of course
He got me...

My Hands TodayMy Hands Today
My hands are getting old today.
They are getting old right in front of my eyes.
I suppose the rest of my face is following,
But I can not see that happening.
There is some peace in that,
But my hands…?
I don’t mind hard work.
I never minded hard work.
I liked hard...
