me mothering you
no more you mothering me
soul emptying soul

04/02/13

she screams in terror
lights flickering in the storm
don't turn out the lights

don't turn out the lights
piteously she whimpers
don't turn out the lights

lucidity dawns
please oh please don't turn them out
a plea in echoes

'midst her sobs she asks
where am i and where is this
and who is that man

he patiently tells
as storytellers must do
holding her with words

i follow his lead
as if with her all were well
cognizant at last

03/12/13

it is oh so deep
the well that holds my sorrow
i have plumbed the depths

03/04/13

that needy feeling
surely only found elsewhere
mars my sense of self

03/04/13

yesterday daydreams
mislaid 'mongst today nightmares
tomorrow rainbows

03/04/13

answers to be found
after questions infinite
in brave acceptance

03/02/13

who i have to be
from the depths of who i was
i am missing me

02/26/13

mewing in the night
summons us to her bedside
prisoners of fear

02/25/13

tick tock tick tock tick
maple in january
time ravishing me

02/23/13

long days longer nights
reality out of sync
the passage of time

02/22/13

in rare chimeras
nostalgia of yesteryear
the street where i live

02/18/13

licking devouring
no respite for the weary
flames all consuming
