Being listless

On a day with charcoal skies

Where clouds are low enough

For me to drift my fingers

Lazily through like a dream

Where the Piper has fallen

Deep asleep like

Little Boy Blue and

Sleeping Beauty just near by

Across the Winter’s meadow

From his own melody

Time drifts away in a

River of sorrow let go

Bottled and Bottled

Till it escaped

Drop

By

Drop

Ah but now

I feel the hail come

Quickly

Cold yet brittle

Breaking the sleep from my eyes

Breaking apart my charcoal skies

The sleepy day wakes to eventful night

That Kindness

That smile that alights a moment

That was once in modality



That Love

Those eyes that brings the calamity of the blue sea

Down to the new morning’s calm



That Hope

That mouth that produces those musical notes

About the future



Those Friends

I’m glad to call own and truth be told

This is close as I come to saying

That I love

Let power be my stead

Let wisdom be my sword

Let freedom be mypath



I am not a hero

Nor warrior

Nor conqueror of fairytale lands

I am a woman



I may have children but

That will never make me Man’s.

I may know emotions strongly

That just means I’m more alive than you Man

I can’t lift all you can Man

But try and carry a child

I can’t be Father Time

But you’ll always lose to Mother Nature.



Beware my anger

Revenge is swift

My glance is venom

Sweet words I speak

Will melt you away

I am a woman





I am a demon, look like an angel

I speak like a cherub, sing like siren

I am everything you should fear and desire

It is because

I am a woman!

I worry

But am not allowed inside

I fret

But the door remains locked

I pace

But there’s no other way in



I pound away,

I scream your name,

I plead with all my might.



I hear you crying

Let me dry those tears

I see you wrapped in cold loneliness

Let me bring you in warmth

I see you need someone

Let me be that someone



You try not to give me worries

But some of them

Are all I have



As of this morning

Brutal reality struck me with

Your quiet apathy



You rise

May permission be granted

You turn

Moments spent in my eyes

You pause

Might the key be in your hand and mine

Do you see the people for

The scene or

The sea of faces you drown your ex-love in



You break your mirrors into cynical sharp pieces

Tearing apart the Labels

That have been encoded in their skin and voices.

Their Loves and Dreams.

Then you see the shredded pieces

Stuck all over you



I’m staring out past the water’s surface

Where all the things we’re told about

Become so distorted

I swim closer and see the Me

I’m told to see.

What about you?



People we love, people we fear Just the same and all so dear

We pretend to be near them but we can’t hide

Our dearest wish is to embrace them then reach inside

A curious mixture, somewhat sparse and simple words to convey a deep complexity and abundance of emotion.

I feel the Me

The Me inside

Like an unborn child laying in wake

Never to be born

Unless the world brings her out

Or I go insane



What is this Me

This Me inside

I never knew she was there

Until High School drama

Came to the stage of my life

Artificial blonde and toxic secrets of the hallway



Am I becoming the Me

The Me inside

One reality blending with another

Till I need two shades of foundation

To cover both sides of my developing face
