The Tight Rein
03/07/03
flying off the ground
legs kicking
thrashing wildly
rising
twisting
hunching closer
grasping tight
beastial head lowering
fighting every inch
every piece of strength
hands around the reins
pulling
tugging
struggling
to keep her at bay
forcing her head around
her sides heaving
nostrils flaring
desire burning within
submitting
at last for the moment
i must keep control
unslacking on my hold
the tight rein
over Love.

Pulled Below the Tide 12/19/02
heart stopping
the silence too great
swallowing me whole
scared to breathe
what around the corner?
icy streams chilling through my veins
rivulets of salt stinging my eyes
where are you??!
standing on edge
searching the horizon
in the starless velvet of sky
pleadingly are you safe?
cries in frustration
angry at the system
mind wheeling
thoughts contorting
when?
suffocating
pulled below the tide
struggling to find the light

The Undying Fire
11/22/02
Two sparks lie apart in the cold of ash
A touch of orange glowing upon the coals
With no power yet to grow into their own
Too far in the close distant others glowed
Each giving their warmth to another
Yet not casting it around these two solitaires
Be it fate or chance it matters none
A gentle push of a breeze in passing
Pulled these sparks within tightly close
As they were together they touched
But this was not enough
They began to share
Their stories of the past
Multiple jokes and laughs
Pretending was not necessary
The joy of being was enough
Invisible transformations as they joined
Each giving without asking of their heart
Welding into place the solid stone structure
Spreading and creating each their own
Melding into one feeding the energy
Moons having left and returned in cycle
One suddenly seemed aware
Each of the others were glowing brightly
Dancing their soliloquy of song
Yet these two were brilliantly blinding
Yellows, oranges, and reds merging
The arms of the flames lifting high above
As if they would burn the heavens themselves
The sun shone hot upon them
Still they danced
The storm winds blew all down
Still they danced
The earth trembled quaking
And sill they danced
Their strength was their union of friendship
The love of two hearts growing together
Through all of this and more to come
They are
The undying fire.

let me be there for you
let me be the shoulder you cry on
let me be the arms that hold you tight
let me be your strength when you fall weak
let me share your hopes and dreams
let me be your confidante

let me be complete
let me say i love you
let me show i mean it
let me share my life with you forever

Shattered Glass
03/24/99
like crystals,
shining on the pavement,
each a shard
able to draw quick blood,
pieces of shattered glass
a heart,
whole and rich,
full of love,
so much endless care
waiting to give
this heart,
so kind and gentle,
was taken and held high,
before thrown hard,
breaking like shattered glass

All That You Are
01/15/99
For that special grrl out there.
you think you are
nothing special,
just a "plain girl"
that no one wants
full of questions,
unneeded doubts
and there you are
in front of me,
caring, loving,
deep, poetic,
sincere, funny
in you is where
everything
good can be found
I look at you,
seeing more than
you will ever think,
a young woman,
independent,
able and assured,
self-confident,
cool, calm, composed
even more so
you are your own,
no one else’s
it’s for yourself
and no other
that you conceive
all these said truths,
they describe you
so perfectly,
but even these
do not explain
all that you are

Is it Possible?
05/24/98
I used to wonder on possibilities...
Is it possible to have a good thing going?
Is it possible to not get hurt?
Is it possible to find happiness?
The possible seemed impossible.
Now I know the answers,
yes, all are possible,
for they have happened.
Now, I still wonder on possiblities...
Is it possible to have found one so special?
Is it possible that she came into my life?
Is it possible that I love her?
They are possible,
still seem so impossible.
Is seems impossible
that she could love me in that way,
that she would even be my girl,
that we could be perfect together.
Still, perhaps they are possible.

Let Others Play the Fool
05/02/98
It was something new, something good,
or so I thought. It was an illusion,
a dream of what I wanted.
It began so heavenly with her,
I had someone to think about,
to call my girl. Hah! What a lie!
She was never my girl, always wanting
to be with other guys or her ex.
She never noticed the hurt in my eyes.
If she did, did she care? I doubt it.
She never called to say hello.
When I saw her she didn't seem to care.
Weeks and weeks of heavenly torture.
Finally, I couldn't take anymore
and gained Strength.
And cut the tie she had on me.
Now I'm free and laugh at those
who fall for her offered poison.
Let others play the Fool.
Never NEVER again will I!

The Painter 04/24/98
Dedicated to Matt...wherever he is.
Marks of colour on his face and fingers.
He stands in front of his creation
while imagination's shapes take form.
He dips the brush into the paint
then lets it dance across his board.
It swishes around, a trail a blue.
Swirls of red and black follow.
Then orange and green appear.
Again he stands to see.
Beofe the painter is pleased,
a touch up here and there.
He smiles at his piece,
no real shape but that of feelings.
The painter cleans his brushes
and lets his his painting dry.

The Pink-Haired Grrl
04/21/98
Dedicated to Starr.
Into my class she stepped,
the pink-haired grrl
with funky clothes and pack.
She sat behind me
and I said hi.
Kewl, a Canadian from Vegas.
Into my life she came,
the pink-haired grrl.
Nonstop talks and giggles,
we became friends.
Sharing poetry and thoughts
was something new.
Into my heart she found her way,
the pink haired grrl.
A special person is she,
one I can't forget.
Our friendship is a rare jewel.
I love you, Lady Starr.

How Can I Show You?
03/03/98
How can I show I love you?
How can I show I care?
Can I tell you everyday
what many like to hear?
Can I shower you with gifts:
flowers, candies, and jewels?
No, spoken words prove false
and turn ill to the ear.
No, those are but things,
only worth their price.
I will forever be there,
a shoulder to cry upon or hold,
a friend to keep you company.
You needn't even call or ask.
That is how I will show
that I love you and I care.

Hidden Love 01/06/98
Behind the rise, the moon hides, sleeping days.
The horizon lends safe and clear cover.
Frightened to meet her lover's brightly gaze,
From far doth she look upon her lover.
"surely I cannot touch the fair," thinks she.
Slowly Luna rises to the above.
"Perhaps my love can look with love to me."
Luna stands gleaming high in the night sky,
Her love seems to be so far yet is near.
'Cross the way her lover catches her eye.
She sighs, "To hold the one I hold so dear."
They weave hard the innocent little charms,
twilight, they lie close in each others arms.

Mon Aphrodite 12/17/97
Je t'aime, le univers tremble,
les feu d'artifice eclairent le ciel,
les étoiles tombent.
Ton nom est Aphrodite.
Et comme tout le temps je frémis.
Tout le temps je ne peux pas me tenir debout.
De toi, je me souviens de tout, j'ai tout aimé:
Je sais que l'an dernier,
un jour tu as souri.
Le soleil a brillé et les oiseaux ont chanté.
Je placais par ton sortilège.
Que, ta splendeur m'a teni
et je n'étais pas en personne.

A Soul is Free 12/10/97
Darkness,
Lonliness,
Unable was I
to speak of things.
Caged was I in this
world we live in.
This was before you
stepped into my life.
Brightness,
Company,
Unable am I
to stop smiling.
Free am I from
the chains of before.
This is now
after we have met.
Now am I soaring,
free and unbound,
nothing can keep me down.
My eyes twinkle and
shine full of light.
Relieved am I,
no longer in hiding.
A soul is free...

13 Months 11/06/97
13 months and here we are,
waiting to bid farewell.
Perhaps we will cross paths again.
Who knows what Future brings?
13 months of rocky paradise,
long talks, laughs, and tears.
We went through it all,
be it good or bad.
13 months, we learned of friendship
and I, love i haven't felt in years.
One thing you didn't learn,
how much I love you.
13 months and now goodbye.
Go live the life you deserve,
with the woman you love.
But please remember me and our 13 months...

Jealousy 10/01/97
I rage within, saddened,
Her eyes twinkle with light.
Her laugher is childish giggles.
It's you her hand brushes upon.
I wish it were me.
You don't know the treasure you have.
Treat her like the jewel she is.
Keep her forever, not letting go.
Her happiness is everything.
I am jealous,
For you have a chance...

Because of You 09/25/97
Because of you
I was reborn,
I saw the world in a new light.
I found meaning.
Because of you
I lived my life.
I found love.
I found happiness.
Because of you
I found and lost hope.
I learned jealousy.
I knew despair.
Because of you
I learned sadness.
My heart shattered.
I died.

Without You 9/25/97
Your love is what kept me alive,
It sustained me.
It kept me going from day to day,
Giving me strength to live.
You filled my days
And your love my soul.
I lived only for you,
To see each day your smile,
To hear your voice.
Your love was all that mattered.
Now you have vanished.
My life is empty,
With no meaning.
Without you I grow weak.
Without you I have no hope.
Without you I die.

It Used To Be Me 09/18/97
You speak of your new love
and I see the joy in your eyes,
and the brightness of your smile.
It used to be me that was your light.
I stand watching from shadows
you and your love,
talking, laughing, sharing
your deepest thoughts and fantasies.
It used to be me with whom you shared.
Your new love fills your thoughts,
is in your dreams and fantasies,.
and has become yours.
It used to be me...
whom you loved.

From Here to Eternity
09/18/97
I will remember the love we shared.
How distant it seems,
and yet it was not so long ago
you asked me to be yours.
With a smile and a kiss I said, "yes."
Days and nights we spent,
lost in the abyss called love.
There we found heaven and peace.
Now you are gone.
I have lost you to your new love.
Now with your love you find
heaven and paradise.
As I write this to you,
remember only this,
I am yours from here to eternity.

You Would Know I Love You
08/19/97
You see me, but you do not see who I am.
You hear me, but you do not listen to me.
You touch me, but you do not feel me.
If you see who I am, you will know me.
If you listen to me, you will hear my unspoken words.
If you feel me, you will realize what I am.
If you see who I am,
If you listen to me,
If you felt my soul,
You would know I love you.
Unlike you, I see who you are,
Unlike you, I listen to you,
Unlike you, I feel your soul.
Though you do not see who I am,
Though you do not listen to me,
Though you do not feel my soul,
I know I love you.

We Became... 08/20/97
We met, and we became friends.
We talked, and we became confidantes.
We giggled, and we became joksters.
We cried, and we became comforts.
We felt new feelings, and we became reborn.
The only difference?
You were loved by me and by him.
You loved him and gave up a friend.
