Informing Memories

Last night in bed as I restlessly tried to sleep 
Every memory of you began playing in my head 
The good ones when we would smile and laugh 
Then the bad ones with the harsh words said

Those are the ones that gave me unrest 
The pain from the crushing guilt was killing me
It was then

To Block And Let Go

Have you not wondered why we close the door,
Why silence wraps the ones we used to crave?
Not out of spite, or pride, or keeping score
But just to stop the heart from being brave.

For if I see your name, I start to reach,
My fingers trace the hope I try to hide.
An anxious heart, no logic it

Bipolar Love

She says I’m so fun,
then claims that we’re done,
she says she hates me,
then wants my babies.
first she wants her man,
then says, “Go use your hand.”
She stares at my eves,
then says I’m full of lies.

The aggravation…
the resignation…
I think I’ve had enough
of her bipolar love.
Bipolar love.

She dreams of houses,
then only grouses,
wants to show me off,
then snaps, “Just

To forgive is human too

Of what use again is my tear to you?
I plead, I cry, I try to soothe with care,
Yet you ignore me, and call me a fraud.
I know I betrayed your wholehearted love—
But if to err is human, then to forgive is human too.

When the vow breaks

There's a quiet kind of ache,
deeper than any silence I've known.
It sits inside, a heavy stone,
a loneliness that lives and makes
its home where two souls are meant to be one.
This is the loneliness of being married.

Of sharing walls, a daily spread,
a bed where two bodies are laid.
But still feeling unseen, a hidden shade.
Untouched, though hands

Fool's Errand

I wonder after his black spectacles,
if I could recognize his phantom's scare
by his bandy left foot, something he'd wear:
constrictor turtlenecks, cowboy buckles
his trials decided by flayed knuckles
his tombstone eyes, the depth of night they bear.
I wonder at the factors of his fear
as I adorn him with cherry jewels.

Your bass breathes, haply, the contents of love;
it

The Traffic Moves On, So Do I

The Traffic Moves On, So Do I

I
Stuck on the road full of a heavy traffic
Inch by inch , no movements are automatic
Drivers do rant, shouting their personal tactic
Someone says “hey, go ahead.. damn pathetic”

II
That loud voices echoed in my ears
Recognize voices who caused my unstoppable tears
The pain of betrayal that brings back my fears
And carry

blackest wings scale higher than mountains

 Blackest wings, scale higher than mountains
in the chill of tonight's air,
scarred and bleeding from within,
determined to reach her lover's side,
A voice calls out to her voyage
but her vision gets lost
as it starts to drizzle and rain.

She collides & in such pain,
her claws trying to embed in the side
of the rocks but she keeps skidding

Never meant to depart

For weeks, my hands searched your side of the bed,
Yet emptiness mocked the warmth I desired.
Our love now lives in a distant, closed past,
Where memories refuse to fade or dim.

That morning you spoke your final good-bye
Turned my whole world to a mourning ground.
I lost the knowing of what love feels like,
For your absence drove me

More

More fool me
For hoping you would change,
You promised me the world
Yet everything’s the same.
I’ve told you that I’m broken
And I can barely cope,
You said you’d make more effort
Filling me with hope.
Actions speak louder 
Than your words can ever say,
I’ve already waited forever 
So I won’t wait another day.
I’m not sorry that we’re over
I’m sorry that

I'm Hurt

I wish you were there
When I needed you the most
I thought you were the only one
Who will protect me, at any cost 

When my trembling hands 
Wiped off the heat of tears 
I was going through so much
All that my heart had always feared

The pain I felt right in the chest
Strong enough, to forget the

If love is a battlefield new song version

If love is a battlefield

Sarcastic words 
are launched
like glass hand grenades
Shattering her dignity, 
she's bruised,
battered and afraid

When coming home 
fills her with a
dreadful trepidation
When her words 
walk on eggshells
trembling in expectation

Chorus

If love is a battlefield
then, 
somethings not right
Home should be 
a safe haven,
not cut like a knife
Oh, 
if love is a battlefield
and there's a cry

Lisa's Frozen Pen

Part I

The wolf had been knocking at the door
Longer than I had realized
A young man saw an old man in the mirror
It's taken all in stride
It's so cold, where did I go?
I hadn't noticed the rust on the jailcell bars
Until I looked at all the scars
I wish I could laugh
Because of a whole heart, I

A heart without tomorrow

My love garden remains unweeded,
Each planted flower slowly wilting.
A shadow spreads across my sunlight,
And a storm lingers without rainfall.

Sad teardrops fall from my broken heart,
No blood shed, yet my worlds fall apart.
Agony, sorrow, deep dejection—
Reflections in my shattered mirror.

My tear burns hot enough to bake bread,
Depression drapes a cloak on my head.
Love tortures like a

Too Slow

If I am too slow 
It will all pour out of me
My desire, my debauchery 
My ever-growing need to be
the object of your sincerest affections 

And you will see that I’ve been lurking 
Like some kind of freak 
Outside your door
