The hand of Art writes small
Across the crumbling wall
Of human years:
But bullets’ burst and spark
Engrave a deeper mark
Than poet’s  joys or tears....

To build a spike and engrave their own name
Even amongst the stars, to find acclaim
Rock and steel they took in hands
Yet futile are mortal plans
He chose one man and put all to shame....

Unbury my hearts secret
With the scroll of a pen
Engrave my darkest thoughts 
On a haunted page
Scarred by the rapture
Of a scorned soul
Look openly
Only your eyes can see
Mark my words 
With invisible ink...

Seasons droop with age
  trailing like your footprints, gone
while anguish leaves me homeless.

Above, stars engrave
  vignettes of our first moondance - -
till I  burst into bleak tears.

Death of a Mother

A mother’s love remembered at her grave.
Where children grieve and mourn at love’s conclave.
Her laughter and her smiles on hearts engrave.
And keep the loving memories they crave.

Several
forever fading
fragments of
one single
 shattered dream. 
Who’s streams
 of significance
flow far behind
the shadows of time.

leaving behind
their minimal
minor moments .
Which forever engrave
 themselves 
deep within 
the depths of my 
shattered heart ....

When someone calls me Charles, it makes me squirm and cringe
Jack's the name I answer to, it's always made me grin
Tired of explaining it for over eighty years
Hence the reason for my constant tears
Gonna engrave it with my Etch a Sketch all over my alluring skin>center>...

I wonder, do you miss me?
Although I wouldn't ask
The times we're not together 
For me are quite the task

There's longing that's inside me
I never let it show
It rises from its slumber
The moment that you go

Your presence I desire
Your company I crave
Take me with you Bluebird
My heart you did engrave...

Bid On My Love

Give me unconditional love and I be your slave
             No harsh words till I reach my lonely grave

Give me my own breathing space to engrave my niche
             Waltzing romance in our idyllic world sequinned for the rich

Not to far
From our backyard
Grows a large
Ironwood Tree.

Its trunk is carved
With a heart
That holds the love
You promised me.

Every day 
I pass that way
Too enjoy the shade 
of our Ironwood tree.

To place my hand 
Over that scar 
To feel the love
You have given me.

When I'm gone
On my stone 
Engrave for me
An Ironwood tree....

Back arching like a tree branch,
Take me and break me
As if snapping twigs with your hands.

Body brittle like a china doll,
Rip me and chip me
And watch me shine through the cracks.

Skin white like a new pearl,
Save me, engrave me
With your teeth, your fingers.

I want to be broken just so you can put me back together.
Fix me,
Love me,
Claim me as yours....

Shards of tears 
engrave memories
like a tattered glass
recalling years scarred by desire.

she went mountain climbing 
too high, gasped, got 
wedged like a pinched rose
then hoisted by a fish hook in the jaw.

he did 60 pills in 60 days
still uncured, he grabbed a feather
tickled a powder keg
and exploded.

this marriage was a crown of thorns....

I knew you cared
The moment we kissed
I felt the rush
We locked our lips
Said you’re the one
To heal my hurt
You left no doubt
Within my heart

I’ll put your picture in my locket
I’ll send you photos through the phone
I’ll give you heart shaped chocolate
So that you know you’re not alone
I’ll fly a rocket into space
Engrave your name on the moon....

Leave your fake hill 
And come with me 
To my dream mountain 
Of ecstasy.
Engrave your name 
On every stone 
That builds every part
around my untouched heart.

Leave your house of uncertainty
And come with me 
To my large castle of belief
And just believe,
Believe in me,
Believe in us,
In every step we could take,
Towards the truth, 
Towards the reality,
Towards our love....

I mean nothing to no one
I am no one
You hurt me
You lied to me
You put me down
You tore me apart
You said you'd never leave
Stick with me til the end
But when I look for help
You are no where to be found
I engrave my pain on my self with a knife
I don't think about you
And I never want to again
This is what you've done to me
This is what I've done
This is what I have become...

First time we met
I couldn't believe that you were real
When you smiled at me
In my mind you've left a trail

On the first date
It was my hand sweating in frail
You looked gorgeous
You were a perfect appeal
I played it cool
But inside, your name I hailed

Two years later
In a marriage we're tied together
In my heart, 
You've started to engrave
A graffiti said 'I'll love you forever'...

A great pond of light
this day.
A wine glass for every atom.
Then in a turning draft,
lantern-etched and lucid,
a clear signature,
a thing only flame and water
could make with their power to
engrave light.

I looked back and saw
stamped into feature, a flight,
a bolt of breath, a hawkish tinder.
This morning, over my shoulder,
swift unfurled talons
seized the bare and leaping air....
