'Play back that sound',she explained with bitterness,
'What's wrong?',I questioned,
I found out that she was severally harrassed at a conference,

One more day in the house
Cleaning up memories that took a 
family a lifetime to gather.
Passing on one by one they all left treasures.
Or better known to some as
"One mans trash another mans treasure"

How do...

I am overcome with a sense of dread,
when hearing talk of that leg injury. 
It becomes an atrocious time machine 
throwing me viciously on to my couch. 
Will it ever feel like normal again?
I wish...

I don't know how to react to you anymore,
You will never know my deepest pain,
You confuse me as best as you can,
You gave me mix up emotions,
You are not here with me,
You don't say you...

I am not good memories
I am not very kind
I am your history
Stuck in your mind

Turn your life into dust
For I am your past etched into your brain
I will...

Willowed pond and dappled water
And right across a splendid bridge
With people leaning over

A dream, a joy; a perfect summer’s day!
In all the muted colours of a...

When I'm alone I reminisce
And measure out the damage done
I watch my thoughts play back to me
In my theater of one
Like a crippled man without his cane
Or a king without his crown
The passion that once...

Here we go. Stomach churning, brain burning.
Together mixing up a bit of that cha-os.
Body built up, mind fortified, but resistance is fu-tile.
All that training and that experience, trumped by the infantile.
Mature and rational thoughts interrupted...

Slivers of moments
caught in the memory jet stream
Blowing gently the past,
eddies of windswept emotions of elation
Presently, sitting on a park bench,
taking a breather after doing a bit of shopping
Press the rewind ... play back memories...

Looking through the frosted pane I see,
the moonlight,
reflected off the newly fallen white.
There is something tantalizingly beautiful,
about this magical scene,
set before me.
Shadows play back and forth,
chasing each other.
A game of their own choosing 
of darkness...

In this pit of utter darkness
The day doesn't see the light
Encompassed by my agony
To my captors, joyous delight

Surrounded by constant weeping
And the sounds of grinding teeth
Their cries for mercy go unheard
With no hope for any...

I can hear you crying
Calling daddy ! daddy !
But there is no answer.
I can hear you calling
From a million miles away
Urging for the bond we once shared.

You had a home one time
Family and a father
But...

only seemed to last for a second,
but those moments are savored

as I recall on the times I spent by your...

Thru the tears that gather in my eyes,
That will try and find my cheek,

VICTORIAN VIRTUE

Victorian virtue left bare -
ivory shoulders, pulsating neck

i hear the tinkle of chimes
and the brisk flapping of his cape

his sultry voice, rich and romantic,
hypnotic

suddenly the dagger of teeth
sink

into the darkest carafe of my neck
warning...

They keep on running;
feet pounding on the floor, the stairs, everywhere!
I tell, no yell, at them to stop, but do they?
They keep it up, not thinking of consequences.
One day soon, something will break,
