Overwhelming
The loudness overwhelmed her
She longed to slip away
But, someone in the night time
convinced this girl to stay
No voice has she
No name, no plea
Only an ache
wide as the sea
Where is her spirit?
And when did it go?
Where is the truth
that once filled her soul?

Violated
Swiftly you enter my dreams
softly you kiss my lips
passionately you rip out my heart
I don’t mind much ,
yet.
only after you drop me like hot coals
will I realise my loss;
my innocence,
my heart
taken from me
without my knowledge
without my consent

Window of Broken Dreams
Out the window she gazes
watching and waiting for a glimpse of her old life.
all that she sees are maple leaves
rustling down the street
and thunder clouds on the horizon.

Taken
she let him
take her
someplace she'd only heard about
in bathrooms
and hushed secret conversations
it felt like love
in the backseat of a Chevy
But, in the light of day
love faded away
and she was left
with only regrets

Strangled
My throat strangles the words
before they've seen the light of day.
They are better off dead.
Born of anger and frustration -
they will only breed the same.

Candlelight
Flames flicker and dance
they entrance
capture romance
Casting a soft glow on the wall
two shadows mingling together

Inadequate
Trying to find a way
to express my undying love
Just when I think I’ve found the words
They’re never quite enough
I stretch them and pull them
in a sad attempt to make them adequate
To no avail
They sit on my tongue
hanging on as if to mock me
I love you
hardly does justice
to the truth

You
(a song I wrote)
Why do I let
fear fill my heart?
Where can I go
for peace?
Who is the answer
to my questions?
When will I
believe?
You
hold me in your arms
You
never let me go
You
made the sun and stars
You
always lead me home
All of my questions
fall to the ground
One truth remains...
It's You
who is holding my life
in the palm of your hands

Praise Him
(a poem I wrote to myself)
Follow your heart
somebody once said
That path leads to sorrow
and fogs up my head
Follow the Lord
a difficult road
That path leads to Heaven
and riches untold
Give yourself over
mind, heart, and soul
Don't cease to praise Him
once more you'll be whole

Without You
February came and went
another one
without you
Impossible it is to think
we're going on
without you
Vividly your memory
stays inside us
burning
Echos of the love we have
reverberate
eternally
(I wrote this poem about my Memere)
