A bird sat on the branch
Next to me
And I listened to his song.
Fly away
Fly away
Fly away
Says he.
But my wings are clipped
And sorrow weighs me down
And I am stuck
Earthbound

Some of us are scattered stars
without a solar system in the vast
and unforgiving cosmos.
We may not be part of a constellation
or host a planet and its life
we could sustain but
we still shine as bright
as any other star.

I hate the fog
How it blurs the horizon
Clear cut from the skies and the ground
The dreamland and the reality
It swirls through my head
Whisking together the rose colored clouds
With the Earthly clear mudwaters
They mix and combine
Muddle together in the fog
I can’t see what’s mud and what’s gold
I can’t tell if it’s wrong or right
I can’t tell if this is normal

Your words whip me,
though I wouldn’t dare let you
see me grimace –
You don’t mean to hurt me
and I don’t wish to give you
more, and more,
to regret.
“I have nothing more to say.”
Is all that I can tell you.
A hellacious yarn
spun wicked from my lips –
one I hope, but damn well know,
you don’t believe.
There is always more to say.
Sounding warmth to see you smile or
spitting venom,
to force away, I’ve
never had naught else
for you to hear.
I just wanted our words to end
without a word more causing pain.
But you know me too damn well
and I hurt you just the same.

Orange leaves hang onto trees

Show me all you hide
You're as gorgeous as the sea

every encounter
with a human being
a plant, a flower, a bug, a bird,
a chance to defeat loneliness

Help me.
Help me the way that you
never
helped yourself,
the way I
tried
but never managed
to help you.
Could I be selfish, with you?
stretch my fingers
outwards
and hope
to find your grasp
pulling me up,
and away
from this abyss
I find myself in.
I drown in dark, here, without you –
though let’s be honest,
I did no better
when you were near –
(your gentle hand upon
on my head,
surely,
didn’t help)
here I am, still,
begging,
like a welp.
Help me.
Please.
This void I’m in is
choking me, so
please.
pull me, by my neck,
from this ocean –
so at least your hands
will bring my end
and not the sadness of you
being gone.
