Surface

My soul creeped to the surface,
Shallow surface,
No harm,
It's just another shot in the dark
Until I surface once again.
Falling off, get back up,
Step back in,
To myself.

Chained by Waves

Trying to breathe,
Heavy weight suppresses my energy.
I toss, turn and try to rip these chains off of me.

Eyes heavy, soul weak.
It happens,
Every so often in this dry summer heat.

But challenges I'll face,
And overcome.
Stronger, than that of the broken will.

Watch me trudge through the sea,
As waves try to swallow me.

Thriving Beauty

She had green eyes,
Left them tongue tied.
Past full of lies.

Blonde hair,
Not a single care,
They wouldn't dare
Cross her twice.

Jaded,
Faded,
Broken but she made it,
On her own terms
In this life.


Watch her grow,
Entice,
And make ya look twice,
And thrive in this demented world.

Sisterhood

I'VE BEEN THERE
BUT THAT'S THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO HEAR.
I'M STILL HERE, AND WILL BE
TO CATCH YOU WHEN YOU FALL
BUT FOR NOW, I WILL ACCEPT THE CORNER YOU'VE PLACED ME IN FOR CARING.
DELICATELY
I WILL NOTE MY PLACE.
FOR
FRIENDSHIP IS A SISTERHOOD
IT
MATTERS MORE THAN FALSE REALITY

Red Door

Have you found the red door?
Hidden in the depths of the city.
One calling your name,
Screaming,
Yet inviting.

Have you found the red door?
Did you follow me there?
I'll show you what's behind it,
If you promise not to tell.

Taste of Attention

The taste of attention,
So shallow, so sweet
Like nectar derived from a tropical tree.

The taste of attention,
So bitter and raw,
A mysterious bite, makes you high as you fall.

The taste of attention,
So old, but so new
So engaging and tantalizing

If only from you.

Let It Age

SHE TOLD ME NOT TO RUSH IT
SO HERE I'LL TAKE MY TIME
LET IT AGE,
PICK IT APART,
LIKE MY THOUGHTS ON CHEAP WINE
