Evil
I am not the one
I chose a life of crime, stealing hearts, shattering them into
an unpalatable refuse
Only after the fact do they realize what was had, until it is gone
I walk away, without a blink of an eye
I am heartless
I am friendless
I am not your lover
I am not sugar and spice
I am woman
Therefore;
YOU had ME at HELLO
You Had Me At Hello...
I long for your touch
To hear your voice sends me
I here the one minute warning
One day a week to see your smiling face
The glass that divides us, shades the color of your eyes
Cold iron seats, chipped paint, stale smell
Foreign voices, the yells for help read more »

The Golden Aspen Leaves of Fall shimmer in the sun

Dancing on the liquid tension of a high sierra lake
The fisherman stands anxiously awaiting this day's take

Pachlebel
Pachlebel
I hear the pianoforte
it takes me to a place of green and mist
lace and grandeur
the horse and carriage
a castle
candles that light the way
white gloves
tall hats
masks
the gowns that flow with each turn
a small soft shoulder, white as milk, soft as silk
dance cards, the whirls, childrens curls read more »
To the light!
To the light! read more »
Wrong
stepping in, left and right.
right as wrong can be.
in the ether coagulant spins
into a frothed beard.
a hopeful thought can pass
but may not move further than
these bricks.
wrongfully yours might contain
the smoke of a spirit.
rises from the collar as steam.
it is freed.
splash through this ether read more »
