Transparent

I wanted to go,
but the hole was more inviting...
finally gave up to the
imagination fighting...

resisting existing...
no energy for fixing...

the need
to tuck away -
a not have to face
anything day...

fade to black...
no reason to fight back.

Chains

It's quite quiet
in here -
I can hear it
quite clear...

all the thoughts
that make me think.

It's quite chilly
in here -
holding what
I hold dear...

as I find myself
still standing on the brink.

If I could just
make it come true -
all of the things
I long to do...

I might finally
find that happy missing link.

Ladder

Standing at the bottom
looking up -
how will I get through
this life and my luck...

Setting free a bunch
of empty dreams -
the more that I hope
the further they seem...

Ready to just throw
in the towel -
In order to move up
I have to start climbing now...

It's dark here and
full of pounding strife -
I guess it's no big deal
as it's only my life.

Heat

All alone -
this side of the fire...
left behind to -
quench this desire..

Did I do the right thing?
If so, why is there pain?

How to know which road to go...

Broken hearts -
a dime a dozen...
when you once believed -
what was really wasn't...

What about the memories...
living inside of me...

how to know which road to go.

Restless

A heart
torn into -
tears come
it's nothing new...

No longer
me and you -
and I'm lost as to
what to do...

Regrets
twisted knife -
only to live
this one life...

Now to
face the day -
when there is nothing
left to say.

Spinning

Many lives lived during one life -

student, teacher -

husband, wife -
child, mother -
enemy, lover-

the roads are long and twisting...

cycling people and situations
over and over again.

Like a dryer...

round and round...
mirroring the world.

Forgiveness

See through and
Quite transparent -
Reminded why it's done...

You came, you saw
and went -
That was not the one...

Grasp your glass
half empty -
and see that it's half full...

Smile
for after all -
it turned out quite beautiful!

Door Mat

I told you goodbye
when you walked out that door -
and I shut it behind you
that's what doors are for -

Now it's locked up tight
That is for sure...

I threw out your opinions
and forgot your name -
I don't care who's at fault
or who is to blame -

I'm done with you
and your blame game...

I don't care where you're going
because I know where you've been -
I assure you honey
you won't be there again -

Go live happily ever after
Case closed - the end!

Peace

I give it all to you
I lay it in your hands -
you've heard my humble cries
at the mercy of your commands...

I step up to the edge
and fall into your arms -
as you lift me from this world
and all it's worldly harms...

Set gently on my knees
arms up to the sky -
as you lift it all away
I wave to it goodbye.

Dotted Lines

Following the rainbow path
splattered with rain -
showing that all our work
hasn't been in vain...

creeping down this road
twisting us through -
now it's becoming clear
what we can do...

As the sun peaks out
and out shines the dew
we skip along this journey
to one that's new.

Clouds

She only dreams in color -
She looks to the sky to sigh...
Perusing all her options -
as once again she tries...

To flee from the walls
that close her in too tight -
she knows once she's free
she'll run with all her might.

Water Colors

Just like it never existed
a dream that never was -
Floating through the air
surviving just because...

A hint of troubled times
while coloring out of lines -
Knowing it’s only mine
sweet memories of those times...

I catch my breath to breathe
as it could never be -
Sometimes you live the truth
while living in a dream.

Wish

I wish I knew
How to see -
The choices that are
Right for me…

A laundry list
A marked out map -
With where to go
And what to pack…

I wish I knew
What to do -
Give up now
Or follow through…

I wish I knew
my hope is real -
And hands will shake
on a real deal.

Time

I'm amazed how
the body repairs itself...

emotional wounds -
heal...

physical wounds -
heal...

mental wounds -
heal...

In awe of the ability
to heal.

Steel

A knife twisted in the back
though I don't know why -
Letting go of joy I know
from those days gone bye...

Tears broken down in blood
just as in the heart -
I don't know where to go
after the depart...

Ice cold melted warm love
shivers down my spine -
Like steel metal shocking one
silently from behind.

Kia

Majestic and beautiful
thick coat, blue eyes -
marking your territory
with your wolf like cries...

Strong and courageous
yet liked a belly scratch -
and treats in the afternoon
before a long stretched out nap...

Your home was your own
to protect each day -
no one was getting
through you they'd say...

Sneaky, yet good
never saw you misbehave -
just the remnants of all
the little messes you made...

Half a dozen or so
vanished cup cakes -
Unprotected meat
gone right from the plate...

Guarded your bowl
like a prison guard -
circled and trolled daily
your treasured yard...

Each day I will miss
those eyes so blue -
You were a blessing,
we so loved you...

Now free to the rainbow bridge
you will run -
I'll miss you forever...
say hi to Molly and D'bun.

Wind

If I had a million dollars
I'd fade away -
trying, crying and sighing
ain't helping anyway...

Walking along
lifes lost highway -
got nothing left to lose
and nothing more to say...

Freedom
can come in many forms -
maybe it's what we lost
when we chose to conform...

not everyone fits into
everyone elses norm -
so who was it that said
this is why we're born.

If I had a million dollars
I'd run to the sea -
smiling at the sun
and enjoying being me.

Mailboxes

I'm gonna hope,
I'm gonna dream,
things just might turn out -
how they seem...

I'm gonna pray,
I'm gonna stay,
and try to get by -
another day...

when wondering
is holding the reins -
when focusing
is work tried in vein...

I'm gonna step out,
to follow my own path -
even if it means
facing my own wrath.

I'm gonna hope,
I'm gonna dream,
things just might turn out -
how they seem.

Soaring

I wish there was
a rainbow path
to guide the way -

dreaming of a distant
place where
I'll spend each day...

With a fan from
angels wings
imagination soars...

while I'm waiting and hoping
to walk through
that open door.

Corners

Tall walls
So go away -
Annoying
just another day...

Can't quite seem
to rid the noise -
try to handle it
with poise...

Avoiding
up until the time -
that this is finally
left behind.
