I’m Drowning in My Own Blood March 19, 2014
I’m drowning in my own blood~
it pulses through my veins
boiling, bubbling, tumbling
from fingertip to toes.
I’m drowning in my own blood~
it covers me
it fills my greedy lungs and steals
my final breath.
I’m drowning in my own blood~
my eyes wide open
I watch until the very end
my last view is crimson.
I’m drowning in my own blood.
Promises February 13, 2014
Make me promises
of better days to come
I need to believe
there is still hope.
Make me promises
even if they are lies
of love yet found
and smiles yet seen.
Make me promises
of a future worth living
speak of beauty
I’ve yet to see.
Make me promises
that forever you’ll stay
holding me close
whispering new promises.
Snow Limerick
There once was a snow storm in the south
It hit us like a punch in the mouth
We bought milk and bread
then hunkered down in bed
awaiting the thaw of the south.
Where Were You, When I died? February 1, 2014
Where were you, when I died?
Watching the game
with your hand deep in a bag of chips
licking the bits from your fingertips?
Where were you, when I died?
Driving to work
mind drifting and problem-solving
as you dart in between the cars?
Where were you, when I died?
You were right here
beside me, looking past with glazed eyes
as I crumbled.
You were right here
and you never even noticed.
Breadcrumbs January 14, 2014
I look behind me
And see
Scraps of paper and
Digital bits
These are the breadcrumbs of my life.
Will these be all
To show I once lived?
Or will evidence show
That I mattered?
Only time will tell.
Until then follow the breadcrumbs
To find me.
Unaware December 11, 2013
Telephone (Photo credit: plenty.r.)
What would have happened
if I had answered the phone
Would you and I be the couple
on the cake happily ever after?
Or would we hold hatred
against our cold, broken hearts
throwing looks that kill
and tossing deadly, verbal darts?
The choice was made for us
I, unaware, was never informed
of your efforts to reach me
and life carried us apart.
Us December 9, 2013
Your words
taste like sweet honey
as they slowly drip down upon me
Your lips
speak of love and promises
and our beautiful future together
Your hands
cup my breasts
thumbs teasing me with soft circles
but,
Your eyes
give you away
inwardly gazing on the hollow truth
my eyes
refusing to see
closed to what they reject.
You November 28, 2013
How many hours have I wasted
dreaming of you?
How many days are lost forever
thinking of you?
How do I continue breathing
living without you?
You are the blood that runs through my veins
You are the one who makes me insane
You are the air that touches my lips
You are the wind caressing my hips.
How many hours have I wasted
dreaming of you?
How many days are lost forever
thinking of you?
How do I continue breathing
living without you?
