Our hearts are racing
Skipping beats
Our blood is pulsing
A gushing stream
Our passion’s rising
Heating steam
Our love is growing
Hearts expanding
Attraction increasing
You are
I am
We are
Unstoppable

Crisis
My world is a crisis
Every hour, every day
But with you by my side
We can make it together
We can make it all the way
Elusive
Joy slips through my fingers
Like an elusive stranger
Like water in the palm
Of my hand
Like air in
A bubble
Bursting.
I hope
Still.
Sanctuary
In a world of strangers
A precious sanctuary created for me
Amongst those that say they care, but don’t
A place of love and light and safety
A refuge to which I can flee
Wherever my wandering thoughts may roam
I hear a still small voice, quietly
Whispering “My Heart is Your Home”
Ticking Clock
Every second
Every heartbeat
Every ticking of the clock
Counts down each hour
Until I stand upon
Eternity’s shore
Punishment
The worst punishment I faced was being hit across my face by an adult man when I was nine turning ten. More than once. Being hit by a man in anger. With a temper. It instilled a fear in me that has never gone away. Even now, if a man displays aggression or temper, I cannot be in that person’s company. A man is physically stronger than a woman. Cold hard fact that we cannot physically defend ourselves. If a man wants to physically hurt a woman, he generally is able to.
Slowly
Beauty from youth
Eaten slowly away
Time leaves nothing
Living untouched or
Unfaded, devours all in
Its sight until all that
Remains are memories
Of what once was-
Littering life’s pathway
With faded scents of
A discarded rose
I Feel
Roller coaster life
Buckle up and enjoy the ride
From the time I awake until the night
I’m guided by an inner light
That transports me to joys so bright
Flying me on wings of dizzying height
Then dipping low and causing fright
Lurching, flying, moving, crying
My soul is on an emotional flight
To be, to have, to think, to move
All parts that work for good
But above all of these, there is but one
A higher, deeper, lower, greater
Depth to me and this would be
I feel
This is my humanity
Butterfly Wings
Butterfly colony
Fluttering their wings
In symphonic harmony
I cannot sleep
I cannot eat
I cannot think
Where’s the music?
Let it flow
Calming, gentle, classical
I cannot sleep
I cannot eat
I cannot think
Soothe my nerves, and calm my mind
Because I have butterflies
Feasting on my adrenaline
I cannot sleep
I cannot eat
I cannot think
Musical notes fly into my soul
Be gentle, be soft, be firm
And kiss these butterfly wings away

Drive
When love dies
Hope for tomorrow disappears
When hope dies
The joy you brought evaporates
When joy dies
The drive that spurned me on is gone
Replaced with a knife
Cutting through my heart so cruel
Leaving shards of glass
To splinter, tear and ruin
When love dies
My smile, my hope, my joy dies too
