Claim Me

You -
You who have slain me -

Claim me.

She Hears

She's a little thing.
Full of wisdom.
No tears.

A noble thing -
with fears.

As she runs and plays -
and hears.

Poet?

Am I a poet?
What is a poet?

To bear your soul on paper
hoping someone will understand

enough - but not too much.

Bright Red Flame

Anger burning -
bright red flame.

Heart is pounding like the rain.
Fire seething in my soul.

Blackest night.
No stars show.

Get Away

Spirit not meant to stay - get away.
Chained.
Merry go round life.
Repeating.
Self defeating.
Pleading.
Unheeding.
Can't stay.
Run away.

It's Enough To Know

He has a quiet solitude.
It can't be pierced.

I know there's more than I see.
More than he sees too.

And it's enough to know
that we both know.

Broken Friend

Cruel friend.
I only thought friend.
Broken heart -
Friend -
My sorrow.

Never saw your face but through your eyes.

Hypocritical torture.
You are sorrow.

Mine

In the hesitancy of broken truth
and fear of what may or may not be
a thought is born.

I give it to the sweet and gentle night.

Maybe what I have is truly mine.

Branches and Roots

When this bird is flying
let it fly.
Let that singer flit where she will.
Sweet chirper.

Chirp and sing and fly.
There's time enough for the tree's branches
and the tree's roots.

Little Bird

Remember the little bird I was?
The one who couldn't really fly.
The one who loved your ways,
loved your wings,
loved you.

The one you left when you flew away.
The one who still waits.
