~Things I Might Have Said~

I tried to write a poem

About my love for you

So I could tell you how I feel

But I wasn't able to

I wanted you to know for sure

That I love you very much

And wanted words of poetry

Your heart somehow to touch

I wanted you to know that I

Adore you when you smile

And I always want to be with you

If only for a while

I hoped my poem would convey

What a part of me you are

And no matter where I may be now

Thoughts of you are never far

My poem would have told you

Of the joy inside my heart

And how it's always been that way

For the day we had our start

But the poem that I hoped to write

Will forever be unread

And you will never know my thoughts

Or the things I might have said

Foreigner

She stands in the middle,

  all alone in the crowd

And calls out noisily in their lull ...

Nobody notices - her obviousness is invisibility.

Her repeated attempts

  are just flung to the void

As the other sounds echo over ...

Nobody listens- her persistence is powerlessness.

It used to be different,

  they used to answer

A sigh and there would be remedy ...

Nobody remembers- her existence is extinction.

There's naught again,

  but a corner to shrink in

Go back to where she came from ...

Nobody cares- her emotion is numbness.

'Bridge/Plane'

Hang

Hold the experience

Release

Feel the drop

Fly

Hear the wind roar

Celebrate

It is done

Was it all for attention?

'Untitled'

Soft color spring

Thick breathing summer

Deep golden fall

Dark shadow winter

Singing stars

Across a dancer moon

Sleep Mother Earth

Dream Father whispers

His warm secrets

"3am"

In the dark and the still

  you lie there and wait

     and think of your days gone by

Of what you've said

  what you've done

     and those that you haven't

        you can't help but break down and weep

Silent tears; not a sound

  don't wake him up

     don't let him know

        these secret burdens only you bear

Time will tell

  what they mean

     just then will you know

        down which road your life will travel

But for now then

  go to sleep

     let dreams come in their time

        only then is your mind at peace

In the dark and the still

  you lie there in wait

     and think of your days gone by
