Thoughts on God


She said that she was hungry,
so he gave her a piece of bread.
She said she was crying,
so he promised to dry her tears.
She said she was tired,
so he gave her a place to rest.
But the bread was too course to swallow,
and he couldn't stop her tears.
And still,
she couldn't sleep.

Suddenly the walls started to fall down.

Untitled 2/24/98


In my world,
I live alone.
And pray to a vengful god,
to dry my tears.
My house is ripped open
by forces unknown.
And my table
is left empty.

Thrown to the winds,
I drowned in the waves.
Scattered in the west,
my body lies.
Broken apart,
I stay.

From above,
I see myself.
Never and unending
make me whole.

Us



Me


I prayed for you once
And I knew I could make the clouds break
And the sun to shoot through the sky
In a burning ball of fire
That heats up the sky
Singging the clouds
A pink curled thread
Of whats to come
When suddenly the day arives


You


I called for you then
And I knew you would
make the moon rise
Shining a silver pale fire
Alighting the stars
Twinkling lights
Tearing through
The black dark
Coming
As the fall of night


Together
Us
Together

Wait



Wait until the light shines
The clouds break
And the sun chases all the rain away.
Wait.
Just wait.
Wait.

Waiting



I sit here,
**** Hugging myself.
So tired,
**** I cannot sleep.
So hungry,
**** I cannot eat.
So thirsty,
**** I cannot bare to drink.
The ideas swirl
**** In my mind,
But in the end
**** I'm empty.
Waiting
**** For something out there.

Wanting



I wait for you
in the cool glow of the moon
You come to me
for me
by me
near me
see me.


I saw you
in the blinding glare of the sun
I pray for you
to you
of you
about you
always you


As the twilight meets across the sky
we're together
for the briefest instant
with me
then you turn
away.

Where



I dreamed a dream of a thousand stars
And the light was so beautiful,
I began to cry.


I thought I saw you in the stars
Twinkling and burning so bright,
I reached out a hand.


I saw my fingers touch you
But sudenly you weren't there,
To pull me in.


I slipped and fell
Among the million burning lights,
'Till I hit the ground.


And still you weren't there.


Where were you?

Wildflowers



the wildflowers grow
off in the fields
away from the house
soaking up the gentle sun
humbly awaiting
to be chosen
to be picked
to be seen
their colors
so bright to some
so delicate to me
a weed
on the side of the road

To Ashes



I woke up this morning
but the sun
didn't seem to shine
quite as bright
as it did the day before.
I watch them
as they walk
totally unaware
of the smoke
blocking out the sun
and the city
burning down
crashing around them.

"A Certain Beginning"



Life began
a long time ago
in the dusty crevices
of my mind
for you.

In the Fields



The humidity rises
and the day starts
to get hot
but its cool
hidden deeply
in the yellow-grey grass.
In the distance
a hazy fog
falls across
the road
but deep in the grass
we choose to hide
in the shade
of the waving wheat.

Good-bye



You died alone,
away from the rest,
and the world
that chose
to simply
push you aside
and pass you by.
I envy you now,
although
I did not then.
Of course,
selfishly-gratefull-merrily
for you,
there is nothing left
but a sad
good-bye.

Then



When a cool tide
comes to pas
and washes clean
the shells and the sand,
crushing along the shore,
I promise
to call for you
then.

Death of a Star



right before the end
on the lonely nights
of the full moon sky
a tiny star
takes it last breath
twinkling bright
and for the briefest
of instances
it explodes
a blinding
super nova
alone in the sky

On Talking




Can't you see,
as I stalk
back to my room,
the words waiting
to tumble down
from my overflowing mouth,
the dam about to break
flooding the
pristine white carpeting
in this prison
you choose
to call home.

Words



I can feel
the hot breath
coming from your
mouth
like a
ghastly furnace
licking the air
and eating
the soul.
I can hear
the harsh sounds
clinging and clashing
bouncing together
between us
angrily
crossing the space
in which
I hover.
I breathe
them in
slowly
one at a time
choking
on the acrid
smoke
you exhale
till fitfully
smothered
I wilt
and die.

Any Given Day



Any Given Day,
The light will come
And the sun will shine.
So we wait.


Any Given day,
The lamb will lay with the lion
And the milk and hony will flow.
So we wait.


Any given day,
The darkeness will be chased away
And what is green shall grow.
Untill then, we wait.

Seeing is Believing



I killed you,
sure as sending
a knife through your chest
or a bullet through your back.
I wasn't brought to trial
for such a tawdry
over looked sinful sin.
But I know
the truth
every and all
the mornings
I look in my eyes,
that a piece of me
is as sure as surely
gone.
And I miss it.
It was the truth.

Some Say



Some say the world will end
in a tidy few years
and they tell me to get ready now.
But the sand in my toes
feels too real,
and the sun on my back
is still warm and hot
so, maybe they're
not quite so right.

Leave



You walk across the room
with heavy, heady, strides.
Proud
yet unknowing.
Head held high
click clack click clack
your heals pound
like a heart beat
against the tiled porcelain floor
empty echoes
echo
across the bare
gate house door.
Of course you need
to go.
