I Hear YouI hear your shallow breathing
Groans and sharp inhales
Of oxygen through your teeth
Wet shoes at the 7-11 and the Chinese Zodiac
I hear, “Can I get a room key?”

The walks we had on Comos' shores; when life was complete,
Oh, the simple Irish diner to which we did meet
Lead to the hours of love...

"My love," she murmurs, "lost in wisdom's maze.
A prince you were, with riches at your hand,
Yet craved a truth beyond this earthly land.”

Blindsided by DustHer whispers of "love," a suffocating embrace,
She claimed I was her air, her very space.
Blinded, I clung to a love's sweet charade,
Ignoring whispers, the warnings that frayed.
Smiles, kisses, a tapestry brightly spun,
Purpose bloomed, a battle...

The old tattered bookThere on the shelf among all the other books,
Was one, a book that was old and tattered.
By the cover, nothing could be told by the looks,
Inside were written words of a life that was shattered.

I was coming apart at the seams
Until i came undone
I didn't know my arms were mangled
Until they fell off

Until I heard my heart break

When Everthing Changes
In the blink of an eye
everything changes,
sometime for better;
more often for worse.
Afterward we may ask why,
but answers stay out of range;
never a call, never a letter,
never a card with a sympathy verse.

Eva, Don't Turn Them OnSome ladies need to be protected,
they are nice to hold, oh, so true;
and that's for sure they can

who reaches out...

Crying Shame
It has just come to me,
As I lay here thinking,
How sorry it seems to be
And what a crying shame
That I am left behind,
A fish washed up on shore,
A lonely cub separated
And abandoned by the...

Take me to a time of love that once was
A simpler time just me and you
Sitting under the sun
Daisies a few
Mildew a plenty
Rivers flowing free without any envy...

Why I love, love you so
So much, so much my darling
I can never fathom the ring
The invisible ring bestowed
On my neck. I cannot swallow
The terrible pain in my throat
I can...
