In Your Mind's Eye (Originally Written August 16, 2003)

Once again you have broken my heart

Dreams are shattered

Ripped apart

Why do I love you?

Why do I care?

The pain inside is too hard to bare

My love you have taken in your cold grasp

Wielded a knife

And slashed it in half

I trembled in fear and rage

I'm frightened of what I'll find

When I turn the page

Will you be there

Standing above

What is left of my remains?

Poised and self-assured

That I am powerless, beaten and tamed?

You snicker with glee

Because
In your mind's eye

You have exactly what you want in me

Turned Me Away (Originally Written October 3, 2005)

I would have drowned

Willingly

In the deep green sea

Swirling with excitement

Turbulence and uncertainty

Thrilled in the passionate pounding

Of the violent waves

Against my bruised form

The iridescent foam

Tickling and teasing

Dissolving

At my touch

Keeping me

In a never ending cycle

A nightmare

That would have

Gradually driven me

To insanity

I stumbled

Into a clear

Glassy lake

It seduced me

with its purity

I floated

On

Its soft steady

Ripples

Its warm water

Gently

Enveloping me

Into its fold

Turned me away

From the sea

And filled me

With promises

Of serenity

Swimming away

in peaceful

Eternity

Mantodea

Mantodea

Of Bologna

Flew into

My arms

To do

The rhumba

I told him

"No!"

My hand

Held

'Like so'

"I am strictly

Absolutely salsa!"

He turned

To me

With his

Large wide set

Eyes

And said

"You are

So vanilla."

With fire

I did not

Know I had

I kicked ball

Changed

Him

All the way

to Manila

Run Far Away (Originally Written November 26, 2004)

Run, run, run away

For you see

In his lustful eyes

And beguiling ways

A future

He can not disguise

Full of hurt

And wanton needs

Full of obsession

And misery

It is best

To run away

And protect yourself

From the onslaught

Of lies

And duplicity

Better to set sail

For smooth

Calm waters

Than sail

Towards

A brewing storm

That will leave you

Broken and torn

Only to limp home

To mend and patch

The shattered pieces

Of your life

Oh, but oh

The mortal eyes

Can see

And the mind

Can know

But it is

The heart

The lust

The heat

Between

Your thighs

That sets

Your feet racing

Towards

A road

That leads

Nowhere

But a

Dead end

A crippled heart

And lost dreams

She Has Arrived (Haiyan)

She has arrived

All swirling fury

Intense

In her ferocity

She has made

Her presence known

Surging through

Our lives

Affecting everything

We own

With no compassion

Choosing without

Prejudice

Complete

In her fairness

Discards any and all

As if

Of no value

No consequence

Any presumption

Of surviving

Her wrath

Without

Seeking shelter

Is your folly

I will not aid

In your lunacy

I watch through

Open window

As she tugs

At my hair

Her fingers

Slices

My strands

Urging me

To meet her

In her element

I turn

My back

As she howls

In outrage

She rains

Her terror

Swipes what

She can reach

Planters fall

Jagged pieces

Lay at my feet

Patiently

I will wait

Her anger

Will soon abate

She will

Move on

To greener

Pastures

And the sun

Shall once again

Come out

Of hiding

For he has

No love for her

Nor does he

Have the energy

Of fighting

Brewing

A storm

Is brewing

I can feel it

In my bones

I look up

The azure sky

Clear of groans

The white

Cottony clouds

Turn tail

And run

As if dodging

Unseen stones

The wind is picking up

Blowing the beads

Of sweat

From my neck

To parts unknown

Swirling violence

Cackles

Like twisted crones

A storm

Is brewing

I can feel it

In my bones
