Heart Song

I hear the rhythm beneath your breast,
music of intense emotion,
with a volume of such depth,
it bypasses my ears
to enter my mind,
which interprets
for my heart
and tears
fall
Form: Nonet


Memories

I fear my sleep.
For my mind unshackled 
Runs rampant
Visiting colonies of forgotten thoughts
And unwanted memories.

It bypasses the chains 
And the padlocks
Paying no heed 
To their reason for being.

I feel overwhelmed 
As past emotions overthrow my dreams
And invades my head
And I am consumed!
The avalanche has begun.

I feel weak
For a  fortnight of insomnia
Is the price I willingly pay
As I stay awake to forget

The Heart

when the mind is taken hostage
when the priests and professors outrage
something throbs with truth deep in the heart

when what you feel is as real as the devil
when the unreal is truth because of what i feel
facts and faith frolic in the silences of the heart

love of any kind bypasses the mind
loving with all that's within is but to bypass the skin
hail organ of four mansions and never-ending art
