By Myself
It is pouring rain and lightning And I don't care I'm gonna sit out here Soaking wet under the breezeway Til it strikes me Light a smoke And burn the ash wet Drink this wine Watered down All by myself

Goodnight Goodbye
Goodnight Goodbye The blanket torn off White as a ghost Burned by the sun Minds all open deep the night And everything I believe About this spirit of the world Is totally true The god can't be taught How we know it Angels free I run to meet my friend And learn on his own things A soul on her wings Takes my hand in the song…

Eurum
I don't know how I want to be loved Nor how to love an/other It becomes clear Once in a while Love that is The height of the frisson All a twitter, surge is flowing Once in a while Grasshopper in my reactions Lightening fast or Incubating to reach the swell of... I am Feeling will again Bit of a manic ride eh?! Ole! Eurum

Driftin
Driftin in and out Of conscious mind Worry carried over An other titan mile This wine Drinks to you From the night with Taking sides Let go of searching Trinkets in the sand Or tying string around my fingers red So tight it rings me numb Palms facing sky Fingers so alive Words band The space between Regardless ... This is…

Somewhere In Between
Somewhere In Between… We wander through this life ripped open & bleeding searching for that faerie tale No one truly sure of it’s existence We subject ourselves to pain yet try to cover it up with pride Faith, hope and love what are they, but mere faerie tales in themselves… What’s real? What’s fantasy? and where is that…

Indifference
Indifference The wall between you & I between here & there had started to crumble but I patched it up again yesterday it should hold good now for another decade atleast… longer if we’re lucky if I am….rather I pray because the crumbling creates such an unholy mess and we both know how I hate to clean…

Not Really Worth It, After All
I wrote this one a while back...before I met my husband.. Not Really Worth it, After All There is a hole in me Dark and empty If you listen carefully You can hear the remnants of my beating heart Hollow space takes up residents in my chest A haunting echo reverberates within All that’s left is scar tissue Where I used to…

My First Steps
It's so cold outside that my head rains sweat. Looks easier when an infant manages it. Laugh lines mock my fury at things I can't forget. But if I don't hurry they'll plant me headstone down. Never thought religion as a prepared medic. When do prayers complete what hearts and hands do? They tell me I must try harder, in…

Burning Alive
Burning Alive Dark and mysterious our souls branded the same Your soft words spoken and the way you say my name... quicken my pulse.

Lady and the Ghost (girl in a picture)
In a photograph I see her standing at her typewriter, cigarette in her hand Has she found the words that make her feel, make her see everything she needs to be And all that lives inside her dreams. I wonder if she knows, can she feel me as I as gaze at her through the dim evening light That fills her lonely room ,dose she…

tiny toes
small toes dance through damp clouds at dusk nightgowns and fireflies hover in twilight mists laughter a distant echoing shadow foreboding cedars crowd about the fire for stories to hear a new rhythm begins as her head turns catching a glimpse, the ghost of dreams fingers losing grip , memories she can't remember into…

And All of Floating Thought
And All of Floating Thought Maybe hot flashes spring from all the years of unshed tears and yet it seems to me there were so many tears that none would be left to flash hot My tears were shed in batches of time, though I had a really good dry spell, The deluge has come to cleanse the dust. Nicotine has blocked the swell…

I Don't Need
I Don't Need I don't need me saved Your my savior from over there Fucked up minds Building stairs Tucked me in B'fore I woke up here Put out my fire Set up my ego I got nothin' but know how to listen Burned up desire Buried their heroes Come to this by their time for killing He don't need me strong So you said what I meant…
