Desires deep within an unexplained place
that stretch out to hold your existence tight,
urge unexplained to help define your space:
I crave to slave to this reason; your fight.
Yearning to the metaphysical voids,
great achievers of this fine attainment.
Levels so beyond; an angel’s toxoid
that transforms and evolves beyond; gift sent.
How is it being gives definition?
Offer a slice of sugary truthful;
inspire creativities, creation:
changing soberly square into joyful!
Yet such a passion-love does often kill;
In living, though, this is no harmful ill.

I Will Find You
You are out there somewhere
in this world which is filled with pain;
you’ve probably felt the pain…
… I have too.
I will find you.
We can tell each other about our lives
and share those little stories
that people share over and over,
laughing at how silly we once were.
I will find you.
We will make a life together
and share in the struggles we face:
together we can be brave
overcoming our burdens.
I will find you.
Life is short so we can make Our chapter long,
travel the world making memories
and stories to tell over and over
when we grow old.
I will find you.
We will share those special moment
together
and everyone will see what happiness can be.
I will find you.
We will lie on our backs
on a warm summer’s evening
staring up at the stars;
Laughing and Loving:
two souls destined for each other.
I will find you.
Our shattered pieces will fit together
and we will make each other whole again.
I will find you.
You will find me.
The Girl Who Lived
Both hands slip down and pick the purple rose from the green bush;
Sun shining, reflecting the light back at the world it warms.
Soft hands retract, sparkling eyes glint like stars;
Fingers twirl it, arms bring beauty closer.
Soft lips form a curve of satisfaction;
Eyelids slide gently over sight.
Nose drinks sweet air of life;
Skin dances and glints.
Heart beats lovingly;
Life slows.
Bliss.

La Vérité
Infected by corrupted corrosion
of peer-piercing pretense
and diseased desires to impress:
A romanticised, illustrious image.
Once bold and definite,
definite like a David.
Smashed.
The transformation of age –
Poisoned passion:
La vérité.

The Living
Filled with life and desire,
sucking on every sweet cane of sugar.
Making sure to live;
Not to exist.
Choosing to feel the feeling:
Not reading about it.
Touching Life’s beautiful offerings;
breathing in her temptations.
Yet I sit and watch…
A safe, isolated existence
and wish
I was brave too…

Sonnet of Pain
A broken heart and pain is all I bear,
Wrecked, torn, beaten and shattered by life’s fist;
My dulled soul seeps happiness from its tear:
Sharp, sickly shards which my existence mist.
I fell in love with those who liked real me,
They all changed the way I felt about life;
With them, oh, it seemed that I could just be.
They failed: results of the paternal strife!
My greatest strength, my greatest weakness too:
My caring and loving hurts me each day,
Unto life’s wooden cross I said, “I do.”
My debts on earth one day I will them pay.
But for life has not been that much so kind,
She has a reason: my life I must find.
