 Self-awareness must not be confused 
With self-consciousness which can be
Devastating for people with fragile egos  
You cannot be as good as your inner self....

Wind, a Rondelet
We’ve called it names – 
Sirocco, Easterly, Chinook.
We’ve called it names
to match its devastating games.
Del Rio! how the tent-frame shook 
as, twirled on a Tornado’s hook,
we called its names....

Premium Member Love Turn Bitter
Submission so complete and fragile like nylon
Love so new, constantly refreshed in the salon
such virtue suffers the kill
creating a devastating skill
for guts to replace passion and fill the gallon....

Hurt
All it took was a NO
Anticipations and desires smashed
Could anything be more devastating?

Stupid am I for expecting
Unwise I am for wanting

A tearful pay for the thoughts
I wish I did not try....

Compromised
It burns me deep inside
that look thats in your eyes
It comes at no surprise
devastating compromise
The lies that I've been told
the lies that I've been sold
The heart I had turns cold
the hand I had I fold...

Looking Forward
The higher I go;
The lower I’ll sink.

The one thing I desire
Is the one that destroys me.

The closer to the end,
The more devastating the failure seems.

When there is much to say,
The only answer is silence....
