A piercing cry

a roar
flooding

when the nose escapes
the mouth closes
the face frowns
no delight
no...

Cut loose from the rigid regime
of a snowflake, I join with a stream,
flowing free - oh! just like those sweet dreams
that I dreamed when I...

I am known
as a loan
people talk about me
he and she
they love me once a year
and this is unfair
14 February

I don't mean to be someone I'm not.
I'd love to be clean
But my spirit just rots,
I've quit before
That's the easy part.

I got an ugly duckling pen
that’s always
trying to write pretty sentences
My plain consonant smiles
don’t have a poetic glow beautiful

Nothing can prepare one
My heart froze, there was no sun
Tears streaming, I couldn’t run
Ice cold shivers, what can be done?

Laying in fetal position
Your wings, was...

Decisions you have made
Selfless and sacrificing
No thought of consequence
Done for love

It was a heavy price you paid
Broken in unmatchable pieces
You made it your burden
Although God...
