Curtains

Curtains
They will open
People will sing
Songs not yet spoken

Hearts are fresh
Learning to bend
Not yet broken

Story to be told
Of a love so ALIVE
It never sleeps
Nor Dies
But has just woken

Sightless

Glasses act as reflectors
Magnified from the soul
Where words are windows
That look out into the world
Hearts project vision
To guide the way
Where love is blind 
And souls play

Rediscovery

Looking for myself
between the rain
where the gaps are small

Hearing what nature has to say
anxiously listening for the phone
waiting on my life to call

Free

Is this it?
Feels........
Well then, it feels lonely
It appears kinda pale
Nothing or nobody
Just here, alone
Almost sick
Like a Hospital
That treats patients
Who are retuning from Hell
A place for which
A man can take
two extremes
tie them together
and listen to them yell

Beauty in the Shadows

                        Not the loudest
                        Not the center
                        Not the biggest
                                
                        "But the one" 
   
                         Pushing me ahead
                         Guiding from behind
                         Screaming with silence
                         Not to be outdone

                         Full of wisdom
                         From listening to all
                         Sitting in the dark
                         The first person you call

                         She reaches out
                         With both hands
                         To love unconditionally
                         What she sometimes
                         Doesn't  even understand

                         Puts the wrongdoers first
                         As she takes the blame
                         Works in the shadows
                         Constantly helping others
                         By knowing exactly what to say
                         Happy Mothers Day.........

Trapped Inside

Rain has become
a current narration of my life.

You see it's not the rain's fault!

I love rain but it squeezes you in tight!

Just a relationship based on being
too far on the inside.

Like a knife rooted deep
into soft ripe flesh
I have become the tip
of the knife.

Deeply hibernated in a madhouse
like an animal
or some kind of wildlife.

It's okay............

My mind is cluttered
Thoughts are spilling over
My pen is a drunk
But my words are sober

Paper wiped clean
with a dirty eraser
I'm putting down raw emotions
straight without a chaser

I'm learning me
In small
small swipes
between the blue lines
my poems are not 
always full of sunshine
but that's okay
that's what makes 
them mine
