Turning Away

You go outside yourself
look back,
a storm of salt
bocks your skull
from seeing thoughts,

yet their wings flap like dying pidgins
on city concrete.

Washing your hair over the sink
blood returns to a floating mind.
You have shorelines, waves,
you are something
doing something,
but mostly you are steam
on the face of a mirror.

Salt hot-licks your mind,
you taste of wet dog.

Eventually you enter
the body

standing there 
nonchalant and ignorant
of his charm

Turning Away From Unwanted Loneliness

When they kiss so tenderly, they imagine plans for a lifetime,
their entwined arms protect what's theirs and precious inside:
they always get the usual looks of envy and unable to separate
these two young sweethearts, they simply give up trying;
staying together is turning away from unwanted loneliness,
building that tomorrow in trust means whatever it may take,
accepting endless

Premium MemberOn Turning Away

In my life, stacked are decisions 
I wish I’d taken, others that I regret.

roads that were not traveled ~
many it seems, without a thought or care.

But all in all, now that we’re here,
at times I have to wonder…

If, on the turning away, 
were I given another chance,
would I not

TURNING AWAY FROM GOD

Looking at life through tear dimmed eyes
One surrenders their life to God
They are relieved from all their strife
To walk where angels trod

But over time things take place
Things they cannot explain
They stray from God and His marvelous grace
And start walking again in pain

What would cause such an unwise decision
After feeling God's peace and

Turning Away

I stand in front of my father's work;
How I look for myself and bring my story
And still it is not heard. Nothing here

To tell me what to believe. Nothing
But color, shapes he has seen,
Taken for meaning. Frames, a roomful

Of what was done without me. Once a man
And woman lay under the many stars
In a moment
