The Big Scary

realness has set in

nerves abuzz with anticipation

outcomes are unsure

BUT!

I am willing

I am able

I am going to jump up

on this table

and DANCE!

More Than That

my hearts breaks for you

melts into molten slag

crumbling wetly

my hand stretches

hundreds of miles

through space and ache

to touch yours

I just wish I could do

more

Red Nails

glorious absolution

hands stained my skin

frank brilliance

shines from distance

swooning

always again

Pandora’s Eyes

She shows the delicate pieces

bits the shimmer in the dark

hiding from day’s light.

Opening the chest

releasing her demons known

wresting the lid wide.

Nervous residue clings to edges

from showing uninterested eyes.

She stands naked

awaiting the calm

to light her way down

the path of future hope.

Crowded Isolation

white fluttering noise

whips the cool air in

chirping screams squeal from children’s lips

solitude lacking stillness

strains meditation’s muscles

highlighting a space

removed to make room

instead

lost in never alone

lonliness
