Tears fall down my cheeks when i watch you sleep. A man turned into a little boy so peaceful and meek. A man so beautiful, so tender, so loving. An angel with golden hair and pink lips so alluring.
Your radiant eyes, blue as the Virgin Islands sea, burned into me. the evening you first told me, that you loved me. My body became yours and my heart stopped in time. when the waves roll into foam you are forever mine.
This world, i leave behind, when i am with you. The modulations of the day disappear. My ears only hear you. As i taste your lips i fall into the sea. Of beauty, of bliss, of passion, of unending ecstasy. Your heart carefully captured me.
All my senses become your control Every part of my body is waiting for you my heart beats with yours as if its on cue. Your rugged hands, like petals of splendor against my skin I become breathless with urgency as my head starts to spin.
Our kisses like words unspoken. words of yearning. Like glorious trees dancing together in the night. Flames of passion burning bright. Don't ever let me go, hold me forever tight.
Scintillating stars turn into comets Soaring across the blackened sky. Your faith in my healing, your love from the beginning has been my comet in the darkest of times.
As your breath becomes soft, quiet and rythmic I will know your asleep and i will watch you again. Loving you and stroking your hair. I will love you forever. Forever, amen.
Pain [peyn] n. - [suffering, physical or mental] hurt, distress, discomfort, agony misery, martyrdom, wretchedness, shock, torture, torment.
Pain drips down my skin like poisonous acid it singes the lace around my wrists, it puddles around my feet like urine. It clouds around my bodice like a milky film enclosing me deeper into the darkness. It seeps into my cells, through the walls of my arteries and into the depths of my parched soul. This malady extracts my being as a black hole absorbs the light. It tugs at my lungs and pulls me by my ankles to the bottom of the sea. It holds me prisoner of its malicious tendencies. My skin pale and my eyes blank with despair Pain wont you leave me be, take another one captive for the day Allow me to draw the lines of my life outside this box so small and grim Release me from your tightly woven possession. When i free myself from you, always do you find your way back to me. Haunting me in my dreams and turning my peace to disruption..... yet again. Let the sheep in my minds pasture be still. Please leave soon or else i will.
The perfume of the sea where the mermaids swim in the small cove of russet and green Far out where the birds sing
Voices full of sweet prayers bathing behind moss rocks Ivory hair ethereal, woven with colored stones limpid like the breeze, unabashed like the sea.
Allow me to touch her transparent skin. cleanse my mortal body full of sin. I breathe in the salt stung air and watch the sun cast off her flowing alabaster hair
Come back with me, abyssal world drown my eyes in your mystical whirl. Swim with your fins inside my palms Fill my heart with your whispers and songs.
I watch as their fins radiate jolts to the sky Dipping in and out of the cerulean tide. small glints of their scales will blind your mind. Step into their world and watch ur thoughts subside.
The sea grass sways where the mermaids swim in the small cove of russet and green far out where the birds sing.

The world is full of many treasures. . . .
Angel in a jar
An angel in a jar. Safe from the corruption. Will not be tainted, Will not be harmed Innocent as a flower petal falling from the wind. She sits and watches the world pass her by The colors of the earth reflect off her skin. Safe from the darkness, safe from the sin.
An Angel in a jar. Oh what a delight! A little slice of heaven in your pocket for the night The color of her hair is as white as milk The texture, Smooth as silk. Her doe eyes are opalescent like crushed pearls And as resplendent as the soul she holds
An angel in a jar Pure like mist, Pretty and loving with delicate finger tips No judgments she makes, no dreams she breaks She sits in her jar, watching with wonder Here to protect, to cherish, to love. An angel that fits in your palm like glove.
My silhouette dances around the walls beneath the soft tea lights spread around the room I sit on my bed alone feeling evanescent I watch the trees outside golden to grey as they fade into the dusk
My mind wanders as i toss in my worn sheets my wooden bed aches and moans with every turn my world feels like a snow globe being shook
The candles flicker rapidly in unison with my mind, racing with unfinished thoughts, thoughts that never seem to tire. They want so much attention from me Will they ever leave me be?
Fall asleep please so i can escape from this solemn world and leave behind my ever so dwindling hope so the cooing doves outside my window will fade into my dreams
my eye lids heavy with the thought of another day the same as the rest. The clock is ticking above my head in its monotone song as i wait. I will wait until the end of time. For time does not exist to me... anymore
My dreams remain hovered above my head as far as the ceiling will allow them go the stars are beginning to come out about now I will sit in my little world and wait .... waiting until the morning comes again... again in my little world i will wait.
The mango magnolia trees sway sweat dripping down my toes like jewels in a furnace sweet moist air on my tongue The hot breeze buzzes in my ear while milk birds caw in the heat the sky is a beaten orange But my face is still pale as winter.
The hum of the fruit flies buzz in the distance the warmth of the sun tickles me softly as i walk down the road towards new beginnings I wait lingering in a confusing comfort with my past. Beauty and bliss swirl in front of my eyes but my face is still pale as winter.
Every fear has been erased sorrow moments softly fading pain and agony stopped in time for i still see the lifeless trees, their naked branches the cold air, the white snow the earth is blooming now with summer but my face is still pale as winter.
I watch the dark waves roll in but i dare not emerge in them i sit on the fence that borderlines danger I see the train coming and play with fate yet i always keep one eye fixated on the warning sign
I dance beside the tornados but never in them i play with the shadows of the night but always have a candle near by I walk on the tightrope balanced in midair yet i always keep one eye fixated on the warning sign
I jump into the lake with chains locked around my ankles but i always make sure to keep the key in my hands I watch the fires burn in the distance the skies rebel with resistance I am fascinated by the lightning in the sky as it torments the trees i want to reach out and touch the electricity but i always stay behind the safety of a closed window pane I like to dance with the devil at times but i always manage to keep one eye fixated on the warning sign.
These are poems that have been written over a stretch of two years, during a time of terrible hardship and illness. They are poems, letters to God, and written mementos of sorrow, pain, joy, relief, and love. Maybe even one or two of them will be words of your own heart. . . .
The cage of dreams that haven't quite taken flight yet...
