He ran his finger along the scar
Remember man that dust you are
Spake the Image in the mirror.
Old vestige of sorrow and pain
From breast to navel a ghastly vein
The zipper of guts and desire.
Remember . . . more

Deepening respect,
grows to
enlightenment
of my life.
I see
the truth,
as it stands
before me...
real
and unaware
of my
admiration.
My breath
quickens-
my pulse, skips
as I walk . . . more

i have faith
in the innocence of my daughters
small and wondering
they are soft
their hair is perfect
god save the man
who tries to date them
i have faith
in the woman
who raises her children . . . more

don't walk away-
I am cold
without you.
My heart grows bitter,
my tears turn to ice-
my soul,
a rock
buried deep within my chest.
Let me see you,
your eyes will save me,
when I cannot . . . more

Poppa was there
in the "big one"
he was happily drinking in a pub
san francisco, california
and his unit called
to the front lines
i don't know the hell he'd seen
just that it . . . more

unconditional love
the comfort of a childs nestled head
on my chest
school plays and sports
chasing monsters
back into the closet
wiping tears
to scold
and to praise
to deny a nap
to play chutes . . . more

like a raw nerve
for the outside to render
like scorched earth
a live wire
sparking at it's surroundings
bacteria, like feelings
invading my mood
i'm ticking like a clock
are you sick of hearing . . . more

make a wish
my love, my sweet
dig deep into your beating heart
dig deep into your trouble mind
i'll pull the powers from the four corners
i'll plead my case to the powers that be
from somewhere . . . more

Who am I,
but a girl who has died long ago!
Where is my grave?
Over there!
A shadowed tombstone-
Etched, carved into the stone...
"Just a girl,
forgotten now-
She had a story,
someway...somehow" . . . more

Here I stand
With this blood on my hands
I came to repent
From hell I was sent
Do you wanna release me
From the guilt that’s built so deep
Take my life
I have no faith in this knife
Save . . . more

Camille was the girl that was picked on in school
she was the girl that was a "little different"
that people whispered about
she never had a boyfriend
never knew the love of a man

i tried to run
leave you and your memory behind
pack up my heart and go
but i couldn't
not even the city limits
i'm tangled in your web
like a fly on the wall
i don't want to give my . . . more

i am your shelter
from the storms of life
i am your laughter
when the tears too much
i am your comfort
i am your smile
i am whatever you need
i am the rum and coke
drifting down your throat

Following a path
Not sure where it’s taking me
Locking up these doors
And throwing away the key
In a moment of light
The darkness seems to drag me in
I can’t see where I’m going . . . more

I wish you could see through my eyes
And feel through my heart
Because then you could share my blindness
And never see me falling apart
I stare in awe, in she walks
Euphoric beauty
Kenetic talk, . . . more

Where do we go from here?
It’s an empty question
But it answers our doubts and fears
Sisters got a home and family
I’m looking for someone’s love to hand me
Momma’s got her . . . more

I should have left
Long before you came
Somewhere that’s dry
Where it won’t rain.
But what you said
Stuck in my head
So I can’t fly
Without saying good-bye.
Your twisted mind . . . more

A man sits
In the river of life drowning
And a woman saves him.
He spits out the agonies of the past
And drinks to his future.
She dries him.
She warms him.
And she feeds him.
Promises of a new . . . more

Looking at you through this black and white lens
See you sitting there with my clothes on.
(I’ve got) memories of you but none of them in color
trapped inside my camera’s prison.
There’s . . . more

Floodwaters in the basement.
Demons on the roof
Only the weak survive
I’m the living proof.
My house is a prison of memories
I can’t leave it
All the growing up
Accompanied by all the . . . more
