Lost

I wanted love
I let you in
I let you stay
Until I no longer
Could run away
And now the pain
The pain sears deep
And even though I loved, I lost
My tearing eyes refuse to weep

 

Missing You

Is our friendship really over
Is it time to say goodbye?
Will I never hear your voice
And will I never see your eyes
Why does my heart
Still ache unceasing
Even when my mind commands
To let you go
I think on you
I think of you
I wonder where you are
Tonight
My heart still loves you
My soul will love you
My body craves to be
Wherever you could be
Tonight

Friendship Tree

Reflections

I think of all the words I said
Of all the words I should have said
But did not
I think of all the choices made
Of all the choices I should have made
But did not
And I wonder why
I said the words I said
Why I chose the way I chose
And where to sail from here?

Love Story

I found my home
When I found you
I found my love
When I loved you
You are my love
You are my life
You are the day
To my darkest night

Vote Oscar!

A Star is Born Round VIII: Imitation of Life

A couple of months into the foray of public blogging, I made a friend with an amazing poet Oscar Plascencia from In So Many Words. Oscar has been a wonderful friend, willing to listen privately while I’ve gone through a couple of emotional meltdowns, and even sketched a beautiful piece of artwork and posted it to me. A couple of days ago Oscar requested that I do a 15-second video on his work and himself, to form part of a 2 minute video for his entry in the “Best Performance of the Year” online competition hosted at thepublicblogger.com. Instead of saying no, I decided to move out my comfort zone and try and do this for him. Well, it took me about a hundred takes and eventually gave up, sending the last one I took. If you’d like to support Oscar, head over to the link above and vote now! You might be able to make out who I am in the accompanying video! (I am not an actor by any means lol, but I tried!)

Vote Oscar!!

Above All

I felt envy
A feeling I did not want
Or want to admit
Or want to feel
Or want to own
And yet
It was a feeling
I had to admit
I had to feel
I had to own
In a world
Of blessing
And grace
I am bound
To nature
To self
To want
To desire
To envy
And above all
To love
