Twisted Love

Fri, 22 Mar 2013 23:06:17 -0400

Love has twisted me
and made me vulnerable

Divided against
my will to be remote
and my desire to let go

Once a speck
on my horizon
now you obstruct
both sky and sun

Yet little remains within me
to undo what I have done

Soul Searching

Tue, 19 Mar 2013 23:29:03 -0400

He says that when I die

His soul will still be searching

For mine

Unnecessary "I Love You"

Sun, 17 Mar 2013 16:02:32 -0400

Telling you I loved you
Was the kiss of death

You said you had waited
…so long

To hear those words
In return

When they finally came
I slowly felt your joy
Erode into scorn

Telling you I loved you
Was a mistake

An unnecessary risk
I chose to take

The Moment

Sat, 16 Mar 2013 23:43:00 -0400

The moment when
I told you too much
and the line went still

The moment you thought
its not worth the thrill

I felt my hold
run down the drain
feeling the slow burn
of desire get doused
with pain

Before was better

Thu, 28 Feb 2013 22:43:18 -0500

So we finally came together
but the build up was so much better
the way you are
makes me smile again
and again

there was nothing better
than the conversation
we had while
still joined

you cared for every detail
made me feel
so very beautiful

Cellos

Sat, 01 Dec 2012 00:34:07 -0500

the threads of so many cellos
echo through the mountain range
of my emotional landscape
they soar on wispy wings
of mist and thunder

searching
for a space
of rest
peace
and unity
of spirit

soon they tire
landing on rocky crags

You and I...

Mon, 26 Nov 2012 12:03:40 -0500

                                                 You and I
                                            both jumped off
                                        the deep end together

                                           You to one degree
                                            And I to another

                                                  For that
                                            we shall always
                                                 be sisters

Rescue me
moment by moment

Pull me
out of myself
into your reality

Make everyday
a new eternity

Embrace me
while I am still cloaked
in darkness

Remind me
of your continued
strength over
my weakness

Sun, 18 Nov 2012 18:47:48 -0500

And though I have done
These unmentionable things

Afterward
It feels like I haven’t
Or maybe
I simply dreamed them

You left me witha fistful of wordscrowding my mouth

Fri, 16 Nov 2012 20:00:48 -0500

You left me with
a fistful of words
crowding my mouth

Fri, 16 Nov 2012 16:02:32 -0500

The dancing forms
are not what they
once meant
so long ago

The music no longer
takes me to
that special place
the lights only shine
on features of disgrace

It means nothing
without you here
the high of the night
ever out of reach

My movements
leaden
my charisma
wilted

Your fading memory
in the distance

All Things New

Wed, 24 Oct 2012 21:30:00 -0400

So I will see him tonight
and he will embrace my pain

He will take it
again and again

He will place me
in high regard
with him I won’t
have to try
nearly as hard

He will ask me
no questions
so I can
drop my guard
as my emotions
are soothed

His simple presence
will make all things new

Taken Down

Wed, 24 Oct 2012 16:12:00 -0400

Your foot
crushes my chest
you blot out the sun
with your shadow

My breath comes
in strained rasps
totally taken aback
by this swift
heartless action

Where is the man
who held me close
where is the man
who I held above most

Now you simply snicker
as I cry in a whisper
to fearful to let
my emotion run down
my face

So Mean

Wed, 24 Oct 2012 14:45:20 -0400

Your words
are barbed flame
they sear my soul
causing damage
that goes untold

My heart crumples
under their weight
my smile sinks
under your mean grin

I didn’t think
we’d be here
again…

Balancing Madness

Fri, 19 Oct 2012 14:44:00 -0400

The exhaustion
of multiple lives
pulls out my temples
my forehead throbs
with myriad possibilities

Laid out in front of me
they bleed out
in high definition color
each one competing
in varied flavor

I contemplate them
running them through
my fingers in turn

This madness must end
before something burns

Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:12:00 -0400

I have it all in my hands…

Happiness dancing
on my fingertips

A circle of love
and relations
that run deep

So why singe it in fire
why test the bonds
why hover precariously
on the edge of obliteration?

I guess the years
have taken their toll
and I now find comfort
in frustration

Clothing myself
in conflicting emotions
hiding behind a facade
of love and devotion

Back in the day…recording in Rimini, Italia. Rimini is known for its beautiful beaches and kickin’ dance music production scene. I did a concert on the beach there once with Radio Dee Jay…it was wonderful :)

Torn at Me

Wed, 17 Oct 2012 12:25:00 -0400

You lifted me
cornered me
gave me little choice
but to give in
let you in

But I resisted
just enough
to remain
unblemished

Your eyes stare
torn at me
divided between
the need to claim
and proceed
honorably
