Alone in the night,
Away from those who right now doze,
Now it is finally alright
To ponder poetry or prose;
Now, I am allowed to think,
To spend a little time on me;
I've no sleepy eyes, not e'en . . .

Giving more of me in anonymity
Feeling alien in my home
Finding understanding with strangers,
Unseen, Unknown,
Still, there is rightness . . .
That my weakness remain disguised;
My strength . . .

mindless feeling
there has been so little of that
always Rigid, by the Rules. . .
i just can't seem to remember why
when i feel this way
so lost in a fleeting moment
that could shape forever
somewhere . . .

When trouble falls soft,
Like summer rain,
There is almost a pleasure
In the strength . . .
The shelter of loving arms;
But when the storm becomes icy, cruel,
The protecter weeps, breaks,
When . . .

The morning begins with a steamy cup,
In a distance, kids, laughing at a bus stop;
A morning breeze carries umbels and lavendar,
And you there smiling, carries peace;
I like how you kick . . .

Morning air was heavy on my body,
Pressing, Pressing Pain;
I could feel the impending rain.
The sun hid behind gray yesterday,
And gave in early to the night,
No stars, no light. . . .

I thought of you today.
Your elation over me,
Insignificant to others,
Never to you;
You always cared.
I miss calling
A hundred times a week,
“What do I set the oven on for cornbread?” . . .

Silence
No listen . . .
Fingers tapping on the keyboard,
The laptop fan turns on;
The refrigerator hums;
The air conditioner choruses in;
Pawing, scratching on the door,
Did I forget to feed . . .

Dew glistens, white rose
Tears of God on soft petal
Weeping for your pain

The looking glass tells truth and so we shatter it:
Not all at once . . .
First a crack, then it spiders, and finally . . .
shattered pieces all around.
You only tried to help, to force my gaze . . .

And so it begins . . .
The end:
Seeking a vision,
A future,
To find only obscurity;
Looking back,
Wonderning what really was;
Childhood memories now even evade,
Only suffering, a dwindling away, . . .

Who are you?
Haven't we met?
Loved once?
Laughed?
Actually liked one another?
Where did we go?
Was it the ballgames,
Cubscouts, homework?
Your work?
Was it when I
Went back to school?
Was . . .

Redemption
The shattered slivers of the mirror prick my proud and haughty heart;
The tears of yesterday sting my soul and burn my deepest parts;
The broken pieces piercing others who have tried to love . . .

For a moment I saw what might be
Standing there on the edge
Carelessly,
Staring into foolishness,
Teetering,
But then loving arms
Throughout the day
Drew me to the warmth
Of belonging; . . .

Why do we hide from the truth,
And then scream, you lied to me?
Why do we point at injustice, but not our own?
A few with so much power . . .
Not the world leaders,
But the world press.
The truth . . .
