Liars

Liars are everywhere,
In front of me
Behind me
Beside me
In me
Through me
Everywhere.
Around every corner,
In every crevice,
Hiding in the darkest places.
Lurking inside people we love,
People we trust.
Waiting to free themselves
Waiting to destroy.
Liars are everywhere
They can not see themselves.
Am I one?

First time ever I saw your face

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love,
To the dark and the empty skies.

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
And felt your heart beat close to mine
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command.

And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last till the end of time my love
It would last till the end of time my love

The first time ever I saw your face, your face,
Your face, your face

Lovely Song.

Starlight

Starlight
Star bright,
First star I see tonight,
Wish I may
Wish I might
Have this wish
I wish tonight............

I wish to be taken to the sea,
My home far away.
I wish to be one with those who have gone before me.
I wish to be heard, felt, and loved.
I wish to belong.
I wish to be free.
I wish that I could wish.
I just wish.

On a Faded Violet......by Percy Bysshe Shelley

The odour from the flower is gone
Which like thy kisses breathed on me;
The colour from the flower is flown
Which glowed of thee and only thee!

A shrivelled, lifeless, vacant form,
It lies on my abandoned breast;
And mocks the heart, which yet is warm
With cold and silent rest.

I weep--my tears revive it not;
I sigh--it breathes no more on me:
Its mute and uncomplaining lot
Is such as mine should be.

Past Returns

I died a little today when that fateful sound erupted from my computer.
That sound that announces you have mail.
When I looked I saw it.
That title.
Those words I thought I would never see again.
Your words.
Your name.
You told me you missed me and you had been to weak to see things through.
My heart says 'I forgive you'.
My mind says 'Piss off'.
Which one should I listen to?
How can I survive again?
How can I let you into my heart?
How can I not?
Why can't I turn you away?
Why can I not hate you?
I died a little today because you killed me.
You killed me and I like it.

Today

Today is a gray day,
Clouds are everywhere.
The rain is coming in the distance,
It's scent comes to meet me.
I see the lightning in the sky outlining every shade,
Every wisp, giving life to the shadows below.
I see the wind moving the leaves, the grass in the field.
Rushing to catch any and all that run from the coming storm.
I feel the chill, my skin comes alive from the cool touch.
The damp in the air, the anticipation of a cleansing to come.
I hear the roar of thunder in the background.
Breathing life into each movement, giving it a purpose of it's destination.
Then It comes,
The rain comes.
The drops fall on my skin as pin pricks,
Soft and delicate, then stronger and stronger.
Running down my skin, leaving roads of liquid deep,
Roads of precious water.
The trees dance wildly to the music of the wind.
The rain swirls and dips to the rhythm of the storm.
I stand and behold this beauty, this show of nature.
I stand and watch this display of power and care.
Today was a gray day, my favorite day of all.

My Fault

Where am I?
Who am I?
What surrounds me?
This dark,
This silence,
This pain.
Have I created this place?
In this place a thought comes to me.
Has everything I have seen and done my own doing?
Have I brought this on myself?
I fear I have.
I have caused
This dark,
This silence,
This pain.
This is my fault.
