He's been awake the whole night through
fearing for her return
yet
hoping she'll never leave
He looks over to his sleeping partner
and remains quiet
as not to wake her
the lover creeps into his room
her transparent gown is sliver and gold
and she whispers into his ears
all the things he longs to hear
sweat drips from his tense brow
he longs to curl into her arms
but knows the pain that it will cause
"come to me-you know you want me"
Her voice is a thin caress to his ears
He knows he must resist
but resistance is futile
He knows he should not be with her
yet is drawn to her allure
his partner silently stirs in her sleep

Damaged Gods perfection
Would you take the damaged child
The muse said to me
holding out a quiet wrapped bundle
in her wispy hands
blue haze emanating just from her mere presence
No one wants him and if you don't
I'll have to leave him here to die
I turned away
deep in thought
did I really want this burden
I had been incubating perfection
but the road had split
and I had taken an erroneous turn
Such a decision I wanted not
and as I turned to face her
A shimmering light burst forth behind her
and a soft whimper
quietly came from the imperfect child
as if he had no right to be
As I reached out to touch her hands
I gazed upon his face
And ins
OMG you are such a perve
What are you doing here
Why do you keep stalking me?
You made your hatred clear.
You are like a snake
That slithers and sneaks
and hides herself in anonimity
Just to take yet another perverted peek.
If you happen to dislike what I say
please find another site to steal
Get over yourself
It's not all about you
It's helping me to heal
You're a strega, a bully, a witch
oops just a sec

You really are a bitch
So get in your puke gree truck

You really are not wanted here

In a drawer
covered with dust
lies pieces of a lifetime

I found your letter
while shredding pieces of my life away
It said how happy
and grateful
and blessed
that we had found each other again
you quoted scripture
and called our relationship "precious"
enclosed was a newspaper article
about our childhood adventures
(because you used to be a really good writer)
It was dated September 1999
I kept many of your letters
but I didn't read them
because I knew they were all lies
And had i known then
what I know now
I would not have gone searching for you
but
She only meant something to you
When your life was in chaos
and had no man to warm your bed
When life got too much for you
You expected her to "be there" for you
And I had to remind you she was only 13
And that was not her purpose to do
You blamed her for your problems
For the men who eventually left you
(because they could no longer tolerate your drama)
Over medicated her to keep her quiet
Played out the victim and martyr oh so well
Seeking out pity where none should have been given
To you anyway....
Placed everyone and everything
Above and before her
When really she should have been your priority

Her Sin
Bless me Father for I have sinned
She sits alone swathed in the safety of the darkness that surrounds her
save for the candle that burns behind her confessor
Creating a flickering silhouette before her
Her voice is husky and low
as if she fears
her words will ooze under the door and hang in the air over her head
for all the world to see
What is your sin Child
he asks
slowly she reveals that she doesn't love her husband any longer
and he is her 5th one

I am one of a kind
Unique in every way
Quick to make friends
With the charm I have been given
Head strong and I fight for myself
I am a believer in Christ
For my life is forever his
I no longer fear death
Or this life that I live
For my destiny is already lived out
I am a mind full of ideas
Some that never make it through
My mixture of confidence and emotion
Make me a spinning wheel
Bound to loose control in the right ways
When dusk falls,
The shadows slither from buildings and
expand.
They loom, sneaking yet oppressive,
skulking behind lampposts.
Illuminated by sunset,
They
nip at the heels of passer-by,
hurrying them home.

I was about twenty when time, so named, left.
after eight lows, infinity pressed on.
what year should I answer for?
this number self-abuses.
still, awareness crashes in.
interspersed with brief sanity, my mind deteriorates.
I'm left choking on my silence,
and I don't know where to begin.
8.
but begin I must, and it might as well be here:
in her frigid, periwinkle eyes.
they were making some sort of water-like sound
and Everests crumbled around my ankles:
someday, someday
as if the sea were one of us.
but I knew better and,
with the conscientious propriety
of a cashier handing back change,
I turned away.

The True Disability
Who is truly handicapped?
I watch them all
Their innocent faces
Wonder what if
We ever switched places
Would I learn the feeling of true compassion?
Because us normals seem to be
Cruel and cold and quite empty.
I look into my sisters eyes
And Im taken by surprise
I see no truth, I see no lies
I just see her
Sitting there
In her, quite normal, wheelchair.
Whos to say theres something wrong?
Whos to say she doesnt belong?
In my few years, it seems Ive found
That we all need to look around.
And perhaps then, yes then well see
We have the real disability.
I have no voice, and have no sight,
Never again do I see vitalizing daylight.
Darkness is the disease that plagues my world,
No wings enable me to fly and see the beautiful sunset unfurl.
And without speech, there's little I can do,
To get my say from me to you.
My thoughts only count when pen meets paper,
Will you listen? Or instead, burn my words to vapor?
But still, I have something more to give me an impression,
Of the real world, even without those two as possession.
And with it, I can still paint a perfect picture,
Of my life, even without a pair of eyes as a fixture.
I still have my hearing, and it's like an extra pair of h
They look at me differently,
And shoo their children away.
They judge me by the way I am,
They don't listen to what I say.
They think I must be dumb,
An old-fashioned "Idiot."
Just because I cannot get up,
From the chair in which I sit.
And even when they get to know me,
They still don't understand.
Always underestimating me,
Because I cannot stand.
"You don't look like you should be in a wheelchair,"
A lady once told me.
Why? Because I don't drool?
Because I'm aware that I have to pee?
I'm sick of all these stereotypes!
Get to know me, please.
And then maybe you will see,
That I can talk with ease.
