Scars inflicted by trauma
since birth
burned through to my soul
as animals are branded.
Exile and desolation
my only comrades
blessed may they be
for I . . . more

So...
I pour my heart out to you
My Dreams..
My soul...
Tell you I'm finally getting married
Want to fucking please you...
Just once...
Mother dearest
Just once...
And what do you say
'Mother'? . . . more

Hurt me a little more,
Make me bleed
Just a little more,
For I know nothing else.
And while you're there
Why don't you
Tear my fucking heart out ?
For I know nothing else.

On the floor
Ripped and bleeding.
And you came...
My pain hidden
So you couldn't see
And you
Thought I had
Saved YOU.
I was on my
Knees, desperately
Begging for help.
Was breathing my

FOR CHRIST'S SAKE
Look there, closely
at the fleshy part of your palms.
Look there where the lines converge and join.
This is where the spikes
are driven through,
nailing you
to the hot splintered . . . more

We've traveled round the world (it seems)
though we never travel far;
Hopes and dreams are tightly wound
inside of who we are.
Sometimes the path we walk is hard,
mired in heartache and . . . more

I walk in glass slippers
waiting for them to shatter,
for I'm not used to
Cinderella endings;
I feel so scared
in trusting love;
Somehow I don't feel
I deserve it; . . . more

Melt into me
like the snow
during spring's thaw,
bringing to life
that which was frozen.
Envelop me
with the warmth of you,
and lay to waste
that which is cold and barren,
frigid . . . more

I would like to dedicate this poem to everyone who has lost a child. In the past couple of days I have read where some of my connections are grieving the anniversaries of children/babies who have . . . more

Going through my life
Full of troubles and tests
I feel so vulnerable
All my thoughts are in a mess
All the roads wind up
They lead to nowhere
No hopes; no aspirations . . . more

Tending to the stopper in the
ink bottle,
I quarantine my thoughts
of you.
A cloud of suspicion
like a sudden Spring rain
mars my landscape.
Rivuelets of water crumble my resolve.
I am no longer sanguine. . . . more

It seems that I've known you sometime before,
So different and yet the same.
You hold me and love, and are saying good-bye,
Bringing me nothing but pain.
You'd had all your happiness:
But . . . more

I look around me and see the accumulation of years,
of living and loving;
Old toys packed away, teddy bears peeping out from
their boxes,
books from every crisis we've endured all the way . . . more

We sit here, across from one another
like hundreds of times before,
you with your fried chicken and salad,
me with my heart on my sleeve.
I'm not paying any attention to the food,
because . . . more

My heart is like glass;
You can see into it;
You can see through it;
It can be reflective,
as well as strong,
but with one small crack
it is easily broken;
And when it shatters,
the pieces . . . more

Hungry eyes,
aching heart;
Please go away;
You're tearing me apart.
You laugh,
you smile
with the innocence
of a child,
never knowing
I'm dying inside.

I will swim the deepest, darkest depths
Of your heart
My scorpion lover.
I shall replace the shattered diamonds there
With Namibian crystals, so rare.
Splintered fragments of glass
I will gently . . . more

Wild tears melt the snow
Falling on my face
But I can't feel the cold
In this lonely, surreal place.
And locked outside your heart
I will cry eternally . . . more

So here we are, just us two,
miles apart,
and I keep thinking of you;
I want to reach out,
for I feel your pain;
I feel your longing,
for mine is just the same
Remembering your voice,
your sweet . . . more

Why do I love?
I have no reason.
It brought me nothing.
It brought me everything.
It hurts
It pains
So if I laugh
Do I hide
That I’m the one
That caused the pain?
