Don’t break
down don’t
break down
Going round and round
In my head.
My other self
Laughing at me in my mind.
Hold it steady.
Be ready to bolt.
No
Looking back.
Keeping my eyes on the
Closest exit;
The path
Is clear and free of obstructions.

Those Nights
Those nights I snuck in.
We would be
Oh
So quiet.
And in the morning your dad would knock on your door,
Peeking in to wish you a good day.
You would lie on your side
So i could cuddle up
Oh
So close
(My heart beating so fast)
And melt
Myself into the blankets and mattress.
Into you,
So as not to be seen.
When we heard the front door shut and the car pull out of
The driveway
You would turn and grin
And begin again.
I remember the morning light
And your body
So warm.
Your strong hands
And thick hair.
I remember your
Lips and how you kissed me
Like
There was nothing but each moment
Together.
So young.
So simple the desires.
Body to body.
Heart to heart.
Eager and overflowing with
Something we could not explain.
I wonder
What do you remember?

When You Are Ready
Only when we (you) are ready
To take care
With our (your) words and actions
Will
Our (your) world change
Which in turn
Will change the world.

Grip
Though
They look right through her
As if she isn’t
There,
She
Knows she is not invisible.
(Oh but it is as if she does not exist)
For she feels hands grip her,
Move her when
She obstructs the way.

Emotion
Every emotion
Felt in a lifetime
Crashing in my gut all at once.
You and I
Face to face.
Loss for words.
Our voices faltering anyway
At the enormity of emotion
In a touch,
A gasp.
And breathing is enough.
Our hands know the way,
We know the way.
The thrill.
Euphoria ignited.
And there we meet together as if
On the very head of a pin.
All thoughts dissolving,
Look no more.
Space-time blooms evermore
And hearts erupt in unison.
Tangled.
Submerged.
You and I
Every inch of skin
Pressed.
Heartbeats thump through
Veins;
A morse code coursing
Unending.
Body language
Perceiving intuitively
Where to go,
When to move,
When to breath.
Stillness absolute.

Stone
Your heart and mind are not made of stone.
If you think you are always right,
You are wrong.

Always
And it was there beneath
Darkened skies
She rose
From
Circumstances
That shook her to the core,
Left her dazed and
Perplexed.
Lying quite devastated; solitaire.
That is when she saw the Angels who had
Sheltered her,
Their
Glow so bright.
And so
She has always believed.

Opinion
We all
Sure have a lot of opinions
About stuff we don’t know
Anything about.

Periodically
Periodically I get trapped inside
My mind.
My body knows it should
Stand up,
Should move.
My eyes try to look
Out the window.
I want to go outside and inhale life and
Lay in the sun
But
Then the thought of it all;
Moving myself,
Makes me cry.
Exhausts me.
And all goes silent
In my head.
The connection is lost
And every thought becomes
Slow motion
Until I remain
Motionless
And call it a draw.

One Summer
My step brother came for a short visit one summer.
There was a 12 year age gap between us.
(I thought he was so cool in his soft top jeep.)
Anyway, that summer I was 10.
We were in the backyard having lunch while sitting at the big red picnic table my dad built
When we heard a very strange, loud crash.
We ran out of the yard and looked in the direction of the noise to see black smoke rising high.
My brother ran inside and grabbed his camera.
Off we went to investigate.
Even though it was just the next street over the fire engines and ambulance were already there.
A small plane had crashed into the corner of an apartment.
I remember the smell of burning flesh and against my brothers adamant pleas to go away,
I stayed watching as they put a burnt body in a body bag
and carried it away.
I think there was only one body.
