The more you try to seek me out
The more you will end up confused
Mystified by the masks I wear
My cloak and dagger subterfuge
My flesh is anchored to this world
My soul resides in fantasy . . . more

Because of you
No longer do I hurt.
Nor do I cry at night.
I smile a real smile.
I know I'll be alright.
Because of you
I am actually happy.
I can trust again.
I can be the real me.
There's no . . . more

My face, joy,
Your face, pain,
My spirit flies,
Yours remains...
My lips smile,
Yours turn down,
My heart laughs,
Yours only frowns...
My love shows,
Yours stays . . . more

This is a poem I wrote a while back.
Time
Every second is precious
Yet it goes on for eternity.
You hold on to the moment,
But the hours pass you by.

All that you hold . . . more

If some god you offer, i will kneel before and pray.
If some prayer you give, then let it be sweet and bring me absolution.

I am here alone
Somehow it was meant to be
But why I wonder?
To miss her over again?
Or find some plan for my life?

I walked in
It's about 20 degrees warmer
In there than out there
The dread weighs heavy
But I keep walking
Knowing the boxes will way less
It's dark in there
But the fluorescent light will glare . . . more

My heart in a perfect blend of sepia toned film
Leaving traces of negative tape
Sitting in the water
My life caught in pictures
Silence put out for the world to see
Placed in scrapbooks . . . more

One day and that’s it.
Some snap judgment this or that thing.
You’re so sure you are in love; my lover, you say.
Secrets whispered through the wires, codified, . . . more
