Pick yourself
a Summer Star -
They're not
so far...
With autumn
on the wind -
Lean and lilt
above the hill-
They shine
there
still...

Choose yourself
a Summer Star -
keep it close
then
hear the sighs
of Summer Skies...

Perception

He placed His Window against the sky. Even those from his childhood would never ask why. And each starry night, he would capture in hue. He would paint his Obsession - That's all he would do. Indeed - That's all that he knew. (He is MAD!) cried the voices... Friend or Foe? We shall never know. I draw IN the Light and I love what I see For when I evolve, I will cease to be ME. (I am frightened) The years raced away with His Hopes and Their Fears... (But what do you fear? they would ask with a tear. ) (No one listens) That last starry night - the last, he would see- he died in his bed at a quarter to three... His Window had shattered the clouds in his head... His canvas was gone. No calm before the storm... Perception of many but at last, only one. (Oh, what must you think of me! )

SWEET INNOCENCE

Sweet beauty we do praise your name radiant as shines the day it is innocence we lay the blame of why your mind was swept away. T'was Hamlet that you gave your heart marriage, yes you did aspire his words were spoken with such art that it set your very soul to fire. His father's death had sent him mad and his heart became a mystery his sickness made you very sad your covenant now cannot be. Polonius slain by Hamlet's sword now fatherless you went insane tears that ran, O how they poured your cross to bear this wrenching pain. In a quiet brook you chose to lay whilst music danced upon thy breath and there I know your spirit stays for while

SUMMER HAIKU

Rapturous beauty In colors of red and blue With hints of yellow... Summer has arrived Large crowds come to the beach For fun in the sun... Smells of fresh mowed grass BBQ in the back yard And Margaritas to drink...

crystalline

almost whole dancing in the blue, cresting waves beckon from the deep. enraptured by swirling sea foam, gathering star light in my hands. imposing wreckage and jetsam knotted in the reef, lost landfall. moonlit dip across the never, obeying the tide ocean's pull. quiet tears, crystalline ripples, salt and starry sky tapestry. unified, ocean has my voice. water glimmering, exquisite. you will swim along her zephyr.

l'amour a distance

we love like vagrants, ours a truck stop romance, ours all the vagaries of runaway time: us a roadside motel, us a highway map, us a crumpled collection of interstate lines. ours a vagabondish worship of the distances we drive. and all the violence of longing, is that yours or is it mine? and the vacancies in my body, are they yours or are they mine?

Agony

The clock is noisily ticking by -it's been hours since you last replied, but I keep checking my phone, just in case- the shadows thicken, darkness blooms around me like a graveyard garden, and my eyes keep shooting around, ears hungrily waiting for a sign of your text- but the silence laughs mockingly and harsh as I slowly fall asleep- phone still tightly held in my grasp.

gravedigger

dear sarah, i wonder if sometimes you can still feel the weight of your bed sheet around your neck. heaven knows there were days i could count every thread. last night i was cleaning up my desk, and i found the scissors i used to crack my skin open four years ago and when i went to throw them out, it felt like moving mountains or graves. if you don’t know yet, you’ll learn that some types of grief leave scars—some ghosts don’t know how to stay buried. you will stumble through the rest of your life wondering if you will one day forget how it feels to toe the edge of the cliff and turn the other way. the answer is no

dreamer

by all the gods, is she lovely— the sweetest lullaby i have ever heard. and her fingertips soothe this raging nightmare which roars inside, a decaying dragon that one too many knights have slain. if i could worship at her feet i would. alas, her temple is guarded by pale clouds and a witch's moonlight; only ravens may find their way into her tower and break her chains with a featherweight kiss. i do not feel her embrace every time the darkness whispers. no, it is only when the ice in my veins burns hotter than the sun and my voice is lost in the supernova that hides itself behind a black hole. it is only then that she is there,

You are More.

You are more than a number, statistic or fraction, You are more than a stranger’s glance or reaction. You are more than a puzzle piece or a missing link, You are more than what the world may think. You are more than a stigma or sign which you're labeled, You are more than “special”, diseased, different, disabled. You are more than a whisper, you are more than a name, You are more than rejection, you are more than others' blame. You are more than vibrations that torture your ears, You are more than disorder that drives you to tears. You are more than emotion you can't read or display, You are more than the words you’

Beautiful Disaster

You came to me- a sinner with wild eyes and saw me as an angel. I had flowers in my hair, you had blood on your hands. You saw my love as a halo circling my flyaway hair and thought my forgiveness to be wings that could lift my frail body into the air. But I got down next to you on hands and knees and showed you the slits in my soul, the imperfections marring my body. Yet you still looked at me with wonder in your eyes saying my heart was still more pure than a human's would be. And slipping my small hands in between yours blood slid between them, staining my hands along with yours and I promised you I'd save you if you saved me, too. A
