WE ARGUE

We argue and we fight

Late in bed at night

Wanting the madness to end

Looking with confusion at my best friend

I love you, I think in silence

Hating all this violence

Finally, we hug and part ways

Not to be talked about for days

Why must we continually hurt each other

While we claim to love one another?

GROANINGS

Hands clasped

We sway to the rhythm 

Of our breathing

We are of the same flesh

We cry out together

As we meet in the middle

In groanings that cannot be uttered

MY HEART

I gave you my fragile heart

I warned you to be careful

You snatched it from me

Turned it around in your hands

Appraising its value to you

You smashed it on the ground

Picked it up, and dusted it off

Gave my damaged heart back to me

"I was trying to ignore you," you admitted

As the first tear rolled down my cheek

LOSER

I am a total loser

That's all I'll ever be

Everything I want in life

Wasn't meant for me


I am a total loser

But could you love me still?

Life's hope dwindles deep inside me

Can't make it up this hill

WATERFALL GALLERY

The way the picture was hung

I could watch you fall

There was just too much

Spilling over frantically

Chaos unleashed

We are the same

BREAK IN THE TREES

I was so lost

Oh so lost

In a forest full of darkness

Tripping over branches

Trying to find the light

My heart is a mess


I reach inside

To discover a fire in my soul

I find a break in the trees

And I know I am home

BLESSINGS

She lands next to me

Colorful wings wet with morning dew

She touches the flowers before her

Their color brightens instantly


Each day she brings her blessings

Into the lives of 

Everything she touches

Blessings that are mine





SHATTERED HEART

 Don't look at me  Don't break me This ghost of a person You will grow to hate me Disappear from my life Stab me with your knife And...
