This vast wasteland
of my empty heart
echoes with cries
of what could have been
...

It's early morning
look around
Can you see the mist?
It hangs in the air
...

I kissed you goodnight
A wave of excitement
flowed through me
all those years ago
...

You are a rose,
exquisite in my eyes
Your fragrance so sweet
Yet, when I let myself get too close,
...

Sunrise appears on the horizon
as I lay here beside you
I caress you softly with my eyes,
drinking in your beauty
...

Eyes like caves
that lead to nowhere
Lips spread wide,
they sneer at me
...

They stare at me
through cold iron bars
Eyes glimmer with
faint recognition
...

Is Halloween a day when
young ones dress
in masks,
grotesquely disfiguring
...

Loves warmth had
surrounded her for years
It has all but let her go
She is only a shadow
...

If love is something that is given freely,
then why is it costing so much to maintain?
If love is supposed to come with no strings,
then why am I tangled in such a web?
...

Here I am again
deflecting the harsh,
hostile bullets that
shoot forth from your
...

It eats away at your soul
like a quick spreading cancer
It makes you lonely,
wishing for a chance
...

Sometimes
the only way
to mend a broken heart
is to have
...

Intensity...many different faces does it reveal...

It is deep in the soul of those blessed
enough to recognize it
...

Be free, my love
I give you the wings
you have sought
Fly freely to the place
...

You consume me...every part of me
You satiate my thoughts,
haunt my dreams
I whisper your name...you come to me
...

It was red
Very bright
Flowing freely
It could be seen everywhere
...

So many times I wish I could just reach
into the depths of my soul
and expose what lies beneath
I have tried time and time again to show
...

You appeared in my life without warning
Like the answer to my prayer
Like a light from out of the darkness,
but then the truth was revealed...
...

I can hear you crying
from that lonely place
deep within
The pain and sadness
...
