Brand New Year (poem)
Good morning to a brand new year
Welcome hope and let go fear
'Round and 'round the bend we go
Anticipating the unknown
rather burn (poem)
burning air within my heart
a fire breathing all my air
eating all my oxygen
whenever you are near
the flames are hot, and I can't bear
to let you go, I hold you near
I'd rather hold you than to breathe
rather burn than ever leave
tiptoes (poem)
dancing on my tiptoes
to the edge of some horizon
spilling into heaven
imagination's flight
1/4/18
beating heart (poem)
wings beat blindly
under my skin
where my rib cage captures
their soaring within
don't let me fly
away from your heart
you gave it to me
it bleeds in the dark
dear (poem)
Your voice is the music my heart
can no longer hear,
though I heard that the songbirds paused
to give you their ear,
and I know that I promised once
I would hold you near—
I tried, my brother, I tried
and still hold you dear.
1/6/18
pass the pain (poem)
pass the pain from my soul
like rocks in the river water, harsh and white
through narrow canyon walls
too high to climb
1/7/18
dark like pain (poem)
For D. and C.
red like fire
dark like pain
I don't forget
but speak your name
softest whisper
nightmare bright
I'd give much
for you in sight
you don't forget
I left you first
when you leave me
so do your worst
