Like a one winged
butterfly
I turn circles in the sky
Lost and spiraling down
...

Ive been looking
but cannot find
a soul so incomplete
it could be completed with mine
...

How could I ever capture
you
in words
How do I describe the feeling
...

Who is to define
what is poetry
and what is not
...

You have never
Loved
until you hold your child
brand new and innocent
...

be careful
with my love
not because I am fragile
as in the sense of a roses stem
...

the summer is ending
I feel Septembers
Cold fingers
reaching around the
...

I see her face
in the shattered mirror
of my world
and in this moment
...

fighting this burning
my fingers are yearning
to twist this blade
inside your heart
...

you shake your hair
and my dreams fall
like arrows shot
from Cupid's bow
...

Another sleepless night
I count numbers and sheep in my head
but everything brings me back to you
and the smell of your perfume
...

a cast away
thrown from the ship of sorrow
swam out into the black sea
searching and yearning for land
...

today I watched my dog (Killian)
jump over a five ft. fence
3 times trying to get to the neighbors tree
and bite this squirrel
...

I have not lived
but for 22 years
I wondered with eyes half open
and ears half closed
...

I cant free you from my mind
I cant let go of the noose
you tied so carefully around my neck
seeing you in my mind
...

I went to the ocean
Parted the seas
and she was
kind enough to reveal
...

we walked
hand in hand
in the sand
to the edge
...

Bad things
happen to good people
is it a sign
(a tumor, malignant
...

when you think it long enough
and hard enough
when it rolls over and over in your mind
like some forgotten load
...

I can write for you:

melting words
for a frozen heart
...
