~Where Would We Go From There~
If I opened my heart to you
if I trusted you with that
one thing
that broken thing
that battered thing
if I lay my bruised heart
in the palm of your warm
worn hands
what would you do
what would you say
where would we go from
there
How would you see me then
If I trusted you with the one
thing I trust no soul with
If I chose to remember only
the good things and forgive
the bad
where would we go from there
If I reached out my hand and
gave you my heart
would you take it
battered broken bruised abused
imperfect used lost old
the only heart I shall ever
own
would you keep it
would you treasure it
where would we go from there
If I trusted you with the love
I keep buried in the depths
of my soul
would you hold it
would you want it
would it matter to you
If you trusted me with your heart
if you opened your heart to me
if you held your hand out to me
reached out battered broken
bruised imperfect lost the
only heart you'll ever have
and trusted me
where would we go from there
how I'd treasure it
how I'd keep it
where would we go from there

~WHISPERS IN THE DARK~
I have conversations
with you
every night
before I sleep
I lay
upon my
pillow
whispering every
secret to you
telling all
the things
missed
while apart
these long
nights through
I whisper into the dark
as I drift to
sleep
do you hear it
do you know
the secrets
that I tell
in the
dark of night
from miles
and miles
away
over these
beautiful
snow capped
mountains
are you
listening
under the stars
watching
the same
moon
I see
Can you hear
my whisper
through our
towering
pines
where hearts lie
beating
sleeping dreaming
creating
hoping
Can you hear my heart
beating~
~A.P~

I wonder what
I lose
in those
glittering moments
of pause
when my
brain
sizzles out
when I stare into
oblivion
what have I lost
but time
what have I
skipped
but moments
I am very
slowly losing
my mind
bits of my past
no longer
are a
part of me
some days
I cannot
remember
simple things
how to spell
my name
oh yes you see
it robs me of
my memories
who I am
what Ive seen
Every seizure steals
something it seems
even important things
why can I not remember
why can I not keep track
why do I write everything down
over and over
notes for my notes
what have I lost
what have I missed
there are people Ive forgotten
events no longer mine
things lost to time
shattered by the electricity
coursing through my mind
~Losing my Mind~

There is no way
to be free
of this raging electricity
It ricochets around
my brain
Stealing time from
me
My body dances
to its twitchy tune
trapped in
silence
locked in doom
I can hear you
calling my name
asking me questions
concern in your voices
My thoughts are
a jumble
mostly annoyed frustration
waiting for control
to come back to me
On and On it goes
this broken brain of
mine
dancing and twitching
like a stringless
marionette
Would that I were graceful
or beautiful in this idiocy
instead I’ve seen
I look quite possessed
quite ridiculous it would seem
They don’t bother me
these seizures that
for so long have
lived as a part of me
I find these moments
of stuttering electricity
quite humorous
These long minutes
of self possession
when my brain cannot
cease its prattle
endlessly entertaining
in the most
perverse way
I’m trapped in here
in this body
surviving by my wits you see
and laughing at the irony

~RESTORING BROKEN HEARTS~
One does not simply
fix a heart
once shattered
with duct tape
kind words
wine
new faces
trips to the zoo
It is a delicate
process
more intricate
refined
like you are
restoring a
beautiful painting
each touch
of the brush
a delicate line
that heals
recreates
beauty
each color
growing
adding defining
each moment
healing damage
fraught from
the ravages
of time
it is the
softest of
touches
it is the barest
of looks
it is the
breath of a whisper
remembered
when your
vision is
gone from mine

~ROSES are DEAD~
I hated all
the roses
you gave me
every
single
red drooping
one
you never heard
me when I
said I
wanted none
instead
you bought
more
insisting
I must be
dumb
truthfully
yes just so
I've hated them
since oh so
long ago
when the flowers
in my heart
did die
I can see them
laying all around
me on the
ground
a morbid
memory of my
youthful love
crushed crimson
like my soul
ask me what
my favorite
flower was
ask me why
I never held
the rose
just once
while handing
me your hateful
roses
I would have
told you
they reminded me
of all the
Pain
I would have
told you
they were not
for me
did ever you
hear one word
fall
or comprehend
heartbreak at all

~WHAT IF YOU AND I WERE JUST STORIES I MADE UP IN MY HEAD?~
All writers live with varying levels of twistedness.
To love us, truly love us is to understand
that you will never completely know
those depths. How can you, when we’re making
them up as we go along…
~A.P.

Freedom is my drug,
it’s how I live and love.
I can’t love you without it
and so I give it freely and
take it wildly.
I live it because it is me.
