Me me.

I'm a daydreamer,
a seafarer
of the worlds of wonder.

I'm a simple wife,
a glinting knife,
an unwounded life.

Pick me up.
Oh do!
I can't sit here
anymore than you.

My eyes are full of stars,
your heart is full of dust.
Drink up, as fast as you can.
This bitter taste is not the plan.

Join me.
Someday,
when I'm awfully alone.
Make me sigh
make me smile
make me moan.


It's tough,
but can you love?

The girl who got away

See there goes
the girl who got away
with everything

she walked away with
a satisfied sway
of her ample hips

turned away
with a smile
smug on her lips

and went away
500 miles
on a wandering trip.

I want to follow her
and be together
and be that role
and be her soul

A sigh so luscious
and her tinkling laugh
and those sparkling eyes
and that beating heart

Jumpstart mine too
For I am in you.

Unfinished

You and me,
are an unfinished symphony.
(a bruised knee,
a spot weak,
tap and it falls,
a half turned key)


A page torn,
from the end of a book
leaving you teetering,
hanging on a hook.

Cause no one knows what happens in the end
and it feels like an arm you've lent.
Cause you can't really give it, but can miss it too
and it slowly but surely, turns blue

Remember?

I find memories
lying abandoned
scattered with
the wind of today
to the corners of
my mind.

I mind losing them
Leaving them unaffected
without affection

With remorse or
the promise of guilt
or even a wistful
smile and grin.

I find them untouched
yet they fade
exposed to the sun
Polaroids I made.

Bleached, bone
dry
of original emotion
yet they fill
me up
and scare me.

I find a life
I may never have
known
were it not for
these memory seeds
sown.

So cold

Snow
Snow
Snowing in my ears
Coldly, so gorgeous
Trickling down my spine
dully, so lustily.
Horrid, like a knife.

A sweet beguiling glint,
symphony of my life.

White
White
Whitening my hair
Crowing so royal
Melting into my mind.
Chilling so soullessly
Heavy, like a crown.

A glittery shiny hint,
Weighing me down.

Wanderlust

Wanderlust.
Pick up
and just
leave.

Depart, deny,
denounce, decry,
decide, devise.
Derail,
and just
leave.

Itch for something.
Go for gold.
Sing for loose
change,
Be sold.

Hold my hand,
and jump.
Don't wait for
the thump.

Free fall.
Stand tall,
and just,
leave.

Roses

I wear a monocle
It's tinted rose
Just the one eye.
One side of my nose.

I could get the other one
Then I could see
A world that was tinted
Completely.

But I'd rather not
And keep my feet here,
On the ground and firm.
Skip the fear.

A monocle is fine.
It's fair even.
A skewed vision is good.
A semblance of reason.

I'm swaying, agreed.
The guiles of a beautiful color.
But I hope the wind
Won't topple me over.
