Procrastination
Standing alone,
Brain in a fog,
Think I'll go for a walk,
With my acid dog.
Pissing on flames,
To put out the fires,
Chasing ideas,
Kicking at tyres.
Accomplishing nothing,
He'll go where he's led.
Acid dog
Is in my head.

My Life In Flames
The uninvited fire of truth.
How long can I conceal this?
I can't go back to the cold life I knew
There, I didn't know I could feel this.
I evolve in this intimate healing,
The ‘burning wheel' is all my own.
I fear his soul is my only true mirror,
And it reflects me burning alone.

Numberless
I have no problem understanding
The concept of being numberless to you,
You can forget me,
But I'm still around.
I did not disappear
From the world you filled
For me.
I have...
The same giggle
The same remorse.
I have not changed
From the day you thought
Me perfect.
And yet....
You are gone.

Amazing Disgrace
You hurt me,
Scared me,
Bruised me,
Tried to extinguish me
And almost broke me.
Today, finally you are dead
And I feel that I have won
A brutal fight
Through natural order.
I refuse to be anything
Except free from you
And what you have done.
I will live my life
And breathe from this new dawn.

Sunlit Hope
He has an innate kindness
That has sown
A seed of togetherness
Into the middle
Of my battered heart.
The first tiny shoot of hope
Has emerged in me
And he tends to it
With sunlit smiles
As if it were his own.
Tell me.....
How was I not
To feel this enduring devotion
With all that he means
To my entirety?

Sunflower Harvest
She wants to warm him like the sun,
Heal his hurts with a whisper.
She wants to seal her lips with his smile,
And show her devotion,
In a million silent ways.
She will be his buttoned up confidante,
Gently trustworthy,
Just so she can stay his quiet darling of spring
And forever bloom in his direction.

Poetry of Midnights Voice
I should be asleep by now.
My body quiet,
My breathing steady,
Adrift.
But the healing hands
Of tonights restoration
Were not outstretched to me.
Instead, I follow
The healing proofprints of
Midnights Voice.
Time draws the sun closer to me,
And with it the dread of
Yet another opportunity to
Spread....
Myself....
Too....
Thin .

Nothing Under My Bed
Daylight hours too,
Can be insidiously cruel.
I'm sunshine on a cloudy day,
And I'm nobody's fool.
My manners will last longer,
Than any pain he can bestow.
The lessons from my intimates,
Outlive the insults he can throw.
There are still rainbows
Where my heart beats.
Look! He is walking
up the wrong street
For I am no longer his home

I Have..I Give.
This is not a tiny man made thing
Like religion or money.
This is a Mother Nature thing,
Made with the same stuff
As the starlight,
The pull of a wave,
And the smell of Sunshine.
It cannot be placed in a box
And its lid shut tight.
This is a sea!
A galaxy!
A universe!
And yet
You hold it in your hand
As if it were a tiny thing.
Look again....

And What's It Gonna Be Boy?
You sprinkle yourself inside me
With every comment,
With every intercourse of feeling
With every giggle you pull from me.
You make me love myself,
Because I see myself in you.
If you don't desire me,
If I never make your hands shake,
When I'm close,
Really close....
Then it's time now
To step back
And save my heart
Like a hero.
I'll let you sleep on it.
