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

You Were There

I walked in

The pub

"Ye Olde King's Head"

In Santa Monica,  CA

To meet a friend

You were there

The girls

And I sat in

A booth

Chatting

British accents

Everywhere

You were there

We talked

About our lives

My moving in

A week

To foreign shores

While drinking tea

And wine

You were there

Your smiling eyes

Of blue

Stared into mine

Your laughter

Rumbled deep in

My soul

While we were

Treated to

Sticky toffee pudding

You were there

A Pirate's Life For Me

When I was

But a wee lass

Me dad

An old salt

Did take me

Out to sea

A Man-O-War

She was a beaut

Manned by corsairs

With long

Flowing hair

It ruined

All landlubbers

For me

With a heave ho

We weighed anchor

And hoisted the mizzen

Set sail for parts unknown

In search of booty

Ripe for plunderin'

I learned to love

Salmagungi

As I grew

Me sea legs

And grow I did

On that

Man-O-War

Land for me

Was no more

I can weave

A merry yarn

But I'll not

Blow the gaff

And take the risk of

Me hangin'

From the yardarm

Or

Keel haulin'

'Neath the hull

A pirate's life

Is hard

But ne'er dull

It is the only life

For me

And one day

I will be

Buried in

Davey Jones locker

Luna

Luna

Dark as a starless night

On a new moon

You slinked silently into sight

With feline grace

By your side

A cunning serpent

Slithered by coldly

It's clear intent

To strike boldly

Then vanish

Without a trace

Why have you brought

Chaos into our midst?

My mind screamed

You think an innocent tryst?

You naive fool

You were a play thing

Nothing but a tool

Oh how I feared

As I looked upon

Your guileless face

Befriend not the devil

My dear Luna

For he will charm

Cajole

And disarm

Until you are left

A sorry case

Missive To My Lover

To my lover dear

Where my heart doth dwell

May I whisper in your ear

Of how I love you well

May I kiss your brow

To soothe your pain

If I could, I would, right now

Make your troubles wane

So read this missive

As I pray

For it is all I have to give

I just wanted to say

That I pray

Tomorrow is brighter

And brighter still

Each and every day

Pantoum - Tis Difficult

Tis difficult to bare my truths

For I would have to look upon my flaws

And find myself diminished

In my eyes

For I would have to look upon my flaws

The horrors that will reflect

In my eyes

As the tears well

The horrors that will reflect

My mind will reject

As the tears well

My pride will hold fast, for

My mind will reject

What is plain to see

My pride will hold fast, for

Tis difficult to bare my truths

My Side

This is me

My words aren't pretty

But they have a story

They can tell

This is for you

You know who

I've seen all

That you do

Hiding behind

A blank face

But your words

I know too well

These lips

You have kissed

This body

You have touched

But your time

Your precious time

It wasn't mine

I gave you

My love

Unconditionally

There was no one

Above

Years

Years

I gave

Tears

Tears

So many tears

Enough to fill

My grave

But you

Wouldn't give me

What I craved

You strung me along

Every day a new song

Minutes

Hours

Days

I spent alone

Wishing

You were

By my side

If you loved me

As you say

You would have

Found a way

My love has withered

It has died

That

I can no longer hide

All the time

I spent alone

I created

A new song

Now my lips

My body

My time

Belongs to me

Because I am free

To choose

I choose

To be happy

So spiteful man

Spill hate

As much

As you can

You are finally

Spending the time

That should have

Been mine

But your words

Can not touch me

For I no longer care

Just know

That I know

That behind

Your words

Is the love

You should

Have shared

Mr. Hummingbird

Mr. Hummingbird

Dressed in all

Your finery

Gems of rubies

Catch the light

As you fly by

Swooping down

Chasing away

Your rivals

A fierce raptor

With sword aloft

From the sky

You come a-calling

Several times a day

Standing sentinel

Across the way

I can almost believe

It is my company

That you love

But alas

It is only

My sweet nectar

That you crave

You greedy

Greedy knave

The Cold

As I lay

Bruised and battered

Shattered

Tears of blue

Torrential rain

Chest torn

Cavity decayed

I saw an image

Blurred, misshaped

A hand

Held out to me

To help me stand

Strong arms

Burdened

By my weight

We walked

Together

Through rocky land

I looked up at him

And smiled

Through teary gaze

He sighed

As our lips met

We felt

The twinge of

The cold melt

Inside

Silence

My first 'Spoken Word'.  I hope you like it.

"Silence"

In the silence
There is confusion

The silence
Has brought conclusion

In the silence
Broken illusion

The silence
Exclusion

Keep your lips sealed, my love
I prefer it that way

In the silence
Is our goodbye

Our silence
Has let our love die

Silence
