What they did to the child slowly eats me alive.

negative noise
   weighted chest
       arms extended
overhead
waiting for a
   falling breeze

A Closed Door

A door unopened
the knock
makes almost
no sound
so subliminal
is
the flimsy veil
of steel
that guards the answer.

Morning’s golden 
Dawning
Kisses my wings
As I fly 
To the sky
Looking for you
Instead, I found 
Half moon

Soft Encounter

The morning sunlight
And night's breeze
Hit me in the face
Like the way
Eileen hit me between
My bones
And my skin.

a blue twinkle 
in the corner of her eye.

Let Loose Confusion....

What is the nature
                    of a confident heart
                                 shrouded by insecurity....

Watching the Tide

Remember watching the tide
The sandpipers around
The barnacled pillars of the wharf
Everything wet, you silky and soft

Shed as refreshing teardrops,
From the old oak trees limbs

Sadly, no winner

Perhaps I will blame the dog.

Is This Me

Sitting alone
Crying at home
Wishing for more
Watching the door
See the mirror
Total fear
What do I see
Is this me

Sorrow

Everyone has

No one can touch

Tears

In the distance

Forever lost

In a world of  pain

Floating endlessly

The Man

Computers are strange
computers are cruel.
Hate cruises with microsoft
because they gave
me liberty at a heavy price.

All That Is, Is

In the circle of life,
Everything is contained,
But true to life,
Find your freedom within,
For within, you find you.

Wind Chaser

Their dreams of uncertain truth are nothing short of dense foolishness. They seek protection under the shadow of the wind
