Walking in my sleep, walking in a dream,
Where to go? Who's to say
Say what it means, how it seems?
Eyes burn, emotions fray
As I watch you walk away.
Walking barefoot, walking and walking Among the trees, soft grass all so green
What is that I hear? You talking...?
How could I hear you but you not be seen?
Your voice echoes..what does it all mean?
Walking to you, walking with a smileWalking with purpose, not wandering
To you who has made it all worthwhile.
As I get near... I begin pondering
Why come back to you who has left me floundering
Walking away, walking and not looking backAway from you, my heart can take no more
For I be
Mind racing - ninety to nothing
Words have no place, when they can't keep pace.
So much to do, panic and anxiety set in.
Sanity lacking... no silence... no peace.
Though the door, anxiety fades
Leaving intense excitement in its place.
Sink into my pillow, my outlet
Muscles relax, thoughts begin to slow.
My pillow extends an arm, wrapping around me.
I exhale the last of my tension, thoughts
Completely cease. Ah, silence at last
A first. Muscles rubber, no worries, lids flutter.
The steady beat of his heart, sound of his breathing
Slow, rhythmic rise and fall of his chest.
I begin to drift, suddenly extremely tired

An Unconditional Love - A Poem For My Mom
You have always been there, through bad times and good.
Your love has always been undying, strong, and true...
How can I repay you or show how much I care?
You are special, you are loved, you are one of a kind.
There's nothing like knowing you'll always be there.
I can't imagine a world without you, although you'll really never leave.
My heart will sag knowing you have gone,
You have no idea how much you mean to me Mom.
Your heart is big, your care is touching
You give so much and take so little.
My love for you is undeniable, my gratitude is true
I cannot express how thankful I am, to have a Mom like you.
Your smile and eyes light up a room,
Somewhere... in the distance, a small girl plays.
Dancing, frolicking, laughing, and singing with arms wide
Such pleasure she takes, the sun smiles and shines on her side.
Twisting and twirling she giggles with delight
Then suddenly she stops in mid stride. Directly in her sight
A bear lays heavily but she refuses to stray.
Tall, strong, and scary this bear looks to the girl
Annoyed and fierce, the bear snorts at her alarm.
Not until she starts to pass, did she notice her arm
In his grasp. Worried and frightened she begins to fight
Twisting and pulling, she tries with all her might.
The bear pulls her near, paws flexing, she begins to whirl.
Oh, how she blows
Soft voices speak to me
My love for her grows
She is where I go, when I flee.
The old, creak and groan -
Protest as they rock
Birds singing magical tones
Losing time, paying no attention to the clock.
Her arms wrap around me, soothing
Her warmth calming and glowing
She's what keeps me moving
Like the water that keeps flowing.
Her Majesty, my love
My sanctuary, my sanity
She wraps and fits me like a glove
She makes me forget all the vanity.
O' Majesty, how I love you
You have no impurities, no judges
So pure, raw, full of life, and true
Don't allow anyone to make you budge.
Surprise emanates, the hole from absence
Echoes loudly. The sounds of sobs and breaking ricochet.
Tears wet and salty much like the river
Once flowing though the now empty canyon inside.
Dry, cracked the walls crumble begging out.
Fractures in the foundation reaching out arms
To where the bountiful water once was. Now
Left alone, silence... solitude... despair.
Sun unforgiving mirroring the canyon to the river
Loss of necessity, a partner devastates. Heard across
The world as canyon walls and resolve breaks.
Chunks of rocks fall to the empty riverbed,
Groaning it's protest, breaking the deafening silence.
Loneliness and sadness from within

Solace, Tenacity, Open, Rejuvenate, Morality
Splat pitter, splat patter, splat pitter
In the distance, feel the worry, angst
That is the constant scream out horrifically.
Go to the sound, embrace it, feel it.
Splat pitter, splat patter, splat pitter
Calls to the soul, spirit, mind. Feel me.
The caress of the sound-maker over the body
An aphrodisiac, an elixir to childlike innocence.
Splat pitter, splat patter, splat pitter
Warm, cold, ever changing, the first touch... Shock!
Giggle, a small smile plays, a scar wiped away
A pressure taken, the heart and mind sighs in relief.
Liquid falls, rejuvenates youth.
Tear shaped drop ironic, as tear drops fall.
The boom, the light in the distan

Heart Pin Pricks - Heart Blood Drops
Your words full of hope and promise
Your actions are dark, empty
My heart is heavy with emotions.
Anger...disappointment, sadness, and pain.
You strike me deep and quick
A snake coiled up hissing, sinking
It's fangs dripping with venom.
Hurt shown as anger... but you don't see
You don't know because you refuse to observe
The patterns, the reaction, it's always the same.
You ignore, I do not pretend to know why.
My world turns dark when the thought
Of losing you is upon me. But -
The ever present and far too common hurt...
This hurt, the aching, the breaking must stop.
With every prick my heart bleeds a drop.
One drop... is not so much, and
Walking in my sleep, walking in a dream,
Where to go? Who's to say
Say what it means, how it seems?
Eyes burn, emotions fray

i crave your touch.
[i still do, after all this time.]
i crave your fingers on my mouth,
your mouth whispering in my ear,
your ear pressed to my heart.
i crave the weight of you, reassuringly corporeal.
i drift away without you anchoring me.
you take my heart, when you leave,
and leave in its place an
unbearable lightness.
