Summer’s Romance
I can smell summer in your hair
Organic
Like soil newly unearthed
By the rains
Your skin
Humid
Slick from playing in the clouds too long
That sank too low
Pushed by the breeze
Off the coast
Were you alone?
Your eyes
Still flicker with a firefly's dance
Did I ever have a chance
To compete with Summer's romance
I'll share you
I'll share you with the sun
And kiss your skin
I'll share you with the ocean
To soothe your heart again
And I'll wrap around your body
With the wind
Silhouette
I woke up this morning
I was no longer part of you
I thought we were stitched
together in tangles of silk
spider webbed forever
in intricate patterns
beginning but
never ending.
Gossamer threads -
a creation of my mind
the ghost of your body
was never there
to begin with -
a fleeting fantasy
blowing in the wind
Invisible silhouette
Death and Dying
"I still am lost. Everything is pulling against my concentration. "
"Loud and clear to an inner ear and place where there is no self only calm."
"I must end it. There's no hope left. I'll be at peace."
"We had a death pact and I must keep my end of the bargain...bury me next to my baby. Bury me in my leather jacket. Jeans and motorcycle boots."
"The sadness will last forever"
"I am done with that. Time to go. "
"I feel certain I'm going mad again..."
"Ill be at your altar. Please keep going. "
