Sacred

I will hold my heart

In tender hands

I will wrap my heart

In silken cloth

I will protect

My most sacred self

That was ravaged

By a spineless wolf

Time Bomb

I’m okay and not okay

I’m waiting for the winds

To carry me away

To mountains high

Or valleys low

My eyes cry tears

My heart weeps too

For pain and loss

And constant sorrow

Time goes by

To steal the child

And turn us ever

Older, wiser

Until a time

The ticking stops

Forever

A Moment

Colors merge into one
Images melted from
Memories

Running with the wind
Into your embrace –
A moment

Rushing with the thrill
Kissing with passion
I remember

Delicate

My heart tears

For every whip

That lashed

Across tender

Skin

My eyes well

For every slice

That cut

Across delicate

Layers

I cry

For every time

I made myself

Worth less

Illusion

Without the magic
Of the highest highs
And the lowest lows
The waiting, anticipating,
Hoping, thrilling
To be remembered
To be kissed
To be loved
Each day morphs into night
Each night morphs into day
My life is without light
My heart is without hope
My flesh is without fantasy
And the most powerful magic is
Illusion
