Within the sunrise
dreams of you
are broken
by light
my fantasy
of loving you
into all of my days
vanished

Shadow of Lost Dreams
Silent shadow
of lost dreams
creeping over me
with the very hands
that made me fall
so deeply into you
I cannot
crawl out
don’t want
to get out
but have no hope
you’ll be anything more
than always
my silent shadow

Un-break a Heart
I wish
there was such a thing
as being able
to un-break a heart
but the only option
is putting pieces
back together
leaving lines
as permanent reminders
it once
loved deeply

Territory of My Mind
I love to wander
a territory all mine
it’s no one else’s land
entrance banned
from all outsiders
open
vast
sprawling
no horizons
no end
A place
I can run, hide, or seek
I laze in sun
or weep in cloudy gray
I plod steadily along
with heavy feet
or skip with light heart
This land is mine to own
sometimes it owns me
a saving grace
or a graceful fall
it doesn’t matter
it’s the only thing
that is all mine

Ink to Stars
As she wrote
remembering in ink
her heart
broke into stars
freeing all sadness
to the heavens
where angels
took each word
and flew

Control Freak
Weather controls me, and I hate him. I am completely at his mercy, and today he gave none. Windy with total grayness. That was today. That was my mood. And there was no escaping it. It wrapped me in a blanket of misery so tightly I couldn’t even fight to get free. There wasn’t a single ounce of light ever to crack through today’s blah.
This control freak even dominates my writing. Everything on the page today seems somber gray with a side of heartache. I guess I am easy prey for this beast. He has swallowed my heart and smile–at least for today. Maybe tomorrow he’ll serve up sunshine with happiness dessert.

In the Wings
Lost in time
where every second
seems like a hundred years
waiting, watching
the struggle for love
and a life
gone missing somehow
and all I can do
is be there
standing in the wings
ready
if he calls my name

Whiskey Escape
Through a haze
of burning gold whiskey
she swam
into the night
trying to escape
the clutches of a love
that was not hers
