oceanheart breaks
in the wave
of itself
take one
step back
up
behind heart
is the whole
ocean
of heart
wave by wave
1 to
? billion
waves
in the ocean
of this
heart
breaking the moon is on a line of poetry woven
the moon is on the horizon
a line of poetry woven
over the hills holding up night
into another line of poetry
a lamp, a friend, a guide
these are the tapestries
witnessed through a moment
of life's doings
and then again, another occurance
the comings and goings
moon beads strung together
woven within and without





Broken
Bruised, hurt, alone,
Scarred, worried, wounded
Broken hearted, call it what you wish
I prefer simply - broken
a heart, too broken for repair
unsure about every relationship made,
every single friend made
hurt by the smallest actions,
but refuses to show tears,
learned the hard way not to rely on anyone,
even when someone  comes along,
and tries to take the pain away
a broken soul, too hurt for redemption
but manages to still put a smile on their face
this person can be saved,
this person can be loved,
for they are simply broken…
wounded and hurt…
they are simply broken…
because all they ever wanted…
was a little bit of love & attention Found Myself
I smiled today
not because i was happy
not because i had a good dream
no I  smiled because i saw the light
I smiled because everything seemed bright
Today was the first day of my life
Today was the day I became free
Free to truly be me
Ask me why I'm smiling, why I seem at ease;
I'll look at and tell you
I smile because I found my purpose
I smile  because I found me, myself & I
today I know who I am
I know where I stand
Today I truly opened my eyes
Today I can finally be me

Horror Haiku: Animal TemptationIt seems as if I
love the wrong place and wrong time
To the best of
my knowledge, it was
not I who committed these
unthinkable crimes
But with what proof, you
demand? Well, if you must know,
I will tell you why:
I haven't the teeth
not such a bone-crunching grin,
I haven't the need
to devour your
kin, nor rend them apart til
they're missing their limbs
I don't want to suck
the blood from their veins
I know for a fact
that I am quite sane
Quite normal, some say, if I
may use this quotation
I know I'm immune
to animal temptation
No, I did not take
those children of yours,
so soft in the flesh, so
plump in their faces
I must just end up
in all the wrong places, for
how could I eat them
the return here so
soon? - Where was I last night? Just
admiring the moon I Promise.I am a very good person, though I wasn't always. It's hard to be a good person, and it's pleasurable to be evil. I took the path of least resistance for the majority of my life. I took the path of least resistance until I met David.
"I have not given up on you," he said.
He did not. He took my right hand in his and held it by the wrist as my fingers and palm quivered like a starving autumn leaf. I was pale and I was cold and my lips were blue as blue as blue.
"No no no," I begged.
"Yes yes yes," he said.
David did not give up on me. He took a pair of metal wire cutters and opened their tetanus mouth. They welcomed my ring finger between their jaws like a crocodile welcoming a bird. He rocked them back and forth like he might slowly saw my finger off.
"You will say, I promise that I have done no hurt to man."
I said after him in a voice like a rattle. "I have done no hurt-"
"I don't believe you," he said, and he cut my finger off at the knuckle. My hand exploded with blood and I

I Took the Blue BusYou didn't put the phone back, left your pills on the table
I went thirty minutes without thinking of her
You made cookies I didn't eat, watched movies I didn't see
I went thirty minutes without thinking of her
You talked, then you didn't, then you talked some more
I went thirty minutes without thinking of her
You took the elevator, she took the stairway to the stars
I went thirty minutes without thinking of her
You swept out memories, wrote a manuscript of dreams
I went thirty minutes without thinking of her
I had coffee and cigarettes alone at four AM
I went thirty minutes without thinking of her
She took the stairway to the stars
I took the blue bus to nowhere Soul JuiceSqueeze out the last drops in glorious color
The rind is mashed, rotten, ruined
But the juice is beautiful
When I dream of myself, or others, we're
always in our prime
and beautiful.
