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.
