My dead garden

A silent rain drop forms in the corner of my eye,
Stilly watering the dead garden that I’ve created around me.

Drip,
Drip,

The crunchy sticks of dried up dreams,
mixed with the dead flowers of hopes long gone,
Or maybe ones...

The Deep End

Swimming in the deep end.
Got you feeling distressed up to your neck.
Cheating death just a little longer.
Drowning your sorrow got you feeling beneath the waves.

Kick and push you fight, trying to stay afloat.
Water going inside your head....

Dirt

Only the ruthless want to tear one down
There is no true strength in shoving others to the ground
Weak individuals feel power when inflicting pain
Strong men will hold you through the rain
Only a fool will tear a real woman apart
We have been...

Depression: The Grand Puppet Master

Depression: The Grand Puppet Master

With a smile upon my face and love in my eyes, I am drowning;
Darkness and despair all around, everything hopeless and pointless.
As I go through the motions, I am the master of pretending;
Surrounded by...

A cat “Lost in Time”

“Lost in Time”

She’d lost track of time and was missing for days, for spring had arrived and enticed her away, but her tummy was rumbling and she needed a rest; the green dewy grass didn’t taste the best.

So, dancing through the bluebells...

Hora de Ir

Perdido em um oceano de sombras profundas
À deriva nas ondas da saudade e das horas turvas
Onde está a primavera que outrora prometeste?
Onde reside o calor que outrora me aqueceste?

Sei que não me amavas, isso é certo
E que já não habitas...

Posture

Somehow in my adult years I
Began to slouch without
Awareness that would help me try
To figure that thing out.

While in the Air Force I was told,

But maybe I was much too bold
To change and I lost track

The woman.

The woman.


The women with spects,
knitting wool in an winter afternoon.
Her hands are shaking.
She will be seventy very soon.

She came to this house,
fifty springs before.
Then the house was only one storey,
with single outdoor.

I Remember

I remember your scent
The aroma that still lingers in my bed

I remember kissing you down your spine
Softly, slowly taking my time

Your touch was gentle and warm
You made me feel what I’ve never felt before

These intangible memories I...

Soft and Sweet

She was soft, she was sweet
Like warm bath water you’d want to immerse yourself in her beautiful brown skin


Two bodies making contact like the waves in the ocean
Oooo what motion

She was soft, she was sweet
I just want to trace her...
