The morning sky awakens spring
Blue palette painted pale
That cannot fail
Though summer’s light is brighter
Blue and gray.
Then autumn carries hints of rust
Of trust betrayed . . .

She sees the horror in her eyes
upon a mirrors glance.
She locks her mind down
as if she's in a trance.
What could freeze her
on this date?
What has put her,
in this state?

Lovely maiden
Long red hair cascades down bare shoulders and
blows in the salty sea breeze.
She sings a song never before
heard by human ears.
Enchanting and hypnotic
The maiden . . .

She, unknowing, with stillborn child,
Mellow in her youthfulness,
Loving in her wren-like narrowness,
Chided without humour
With her hawk-like tongue,
The wide paths of her short years.

Where have you gone
So far it seems
Just out of reach
How long has it been?
Lost in time
Gone with the winds of change
The tides have turned
Nothing remains.

Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
Bury them deep inside yourself
and put on your fake disguise
You thought the world
would believe them
and some of us did
When did you start . . .

Alone by Edgar Allan Poe
From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring. . . .

When the skirt rode high
Upon her thigh,
As she climbed a stool,
James O' Donnell
Gave a furtive look,
Then returned to his book,
But in some dark corner of his mind,
He knew he'd find, . . .

She would have placed the baby
In the center of her heart
And not allowed the stealthy
Death to come, but death came in
The depth of night, hidden by
The shadows of the dim lit
Dark; the . . .

"Are we there yet?"
The girl asked,
Pulling her father's sleeve,
Trying to make out
His features
In the muted light
That came through
Cracks of the cattle truck,
Listening . . .

Patient and kind are
your eyes like stars
and the glistening
moonlight dancing
glows your skin.
Poised and still are
your thoughts like rocks
and the whispering
serenity of grass . . .

The mourners come,
Each one set out
Along the way
From chapel door
To where the small
White coffin lies
And preacher stands.
One small red rose
Upon the lid,
To tell of love
And . . .

The cage door is open so briefly
Hearts awakening
Escape the prison of doubt
We think we are free
Freedom is a fantasy we dream from a cell

I can still see your face,
and feel the touch of your skin.
There is such comfort in your embrace.
Safety, warmth, love
You tell me it's o.k.
Everything will be o.k.

Discouragement and fear
are never far away from me.
Lurking in the shadows
waiting for the night
to whisper silent words to me.
Trying to prey on
my insecurites. . . .

Hank Hornslink kissed Patsy Pulldeck
Like she was a three-day-old corpse.
He hesitated, took up courage,
Leaned forward, and smack,
The lips met like East and West on a foggy day.
"Wasn't . . .

She would have it all again,
But this time without the pain
And sad betrayal of him
Across the years, and wasted
Days and nights, and poured out tears
For injuries received, words

I hear you every day. I hear you reminding me to be a lady and to work hard. I hear you asking me how my day was and feel you hugging me whether it was good or . . .

Have you ever had one of those days
when everything you did went wrong?
Have you ever had one of those days
when your life was like a bad country song? . . .
