Spent all day thinking, dreaming
Of the ways that you can take me
under.

Coming to Terms
Heard a song today on the radio
It sang
“What’s the greatest chapter in your book?
Are there pages where it hurts to look?”
I gave the thought a ponder or two
Diaries stuffed in the bottom of drawers
Keeping all those secrets moments
Making me cringe at just the thought
Now take all those cringing moments
They might stack up to the ceiling
But I have to give them thanks
If it wasn’t for all those scribbled journals
I wouldn’t be writing this.

Let’s Try This
Eleven on the dot
Words start flowing
Not a minute earlier
The lightbulb turns on
Time to come out and play
Thoughts start streaming
Try to gain some perspective
Have them go where
No woman has gone before
As if I have some control
But that is a laughable dream
When the words flow, they flow
They have the true control
So when they keep pointing me
In the same direction, I must apologize
I tried but it’s another one about you.

Out of Nowhere
Everything is so familiar
Like an ocean breeze
Smelling of salt, warmed
With the summer’s heat
As if you never leave
The memories still vivid
Mixing of good and bad
Heart and mind spinning
Lingering feelings of nostalgia
The last few weeks of summer,
We slowly divulge as the
World gets back to work
You were cold, but kept me warm
As my rose-tinted glasses
Clear, let me relish what’s near
As I dream of you in the ocean’s breeze.

Sometimes It Just Takes a Little Reminder
I was reminded
Of what it means
To be human again
Before we became a
World full of Cynicism
And non-believers.
When it was second nature
To take someone
At their word.
When the word hope
Was more than just
A laughable concept.
When people
Were believed
To be able to change.
I was reminded.
That deep down,
I’m still that human being.
Even if I forgot for a little while.

Not worth a Title
Conflicted
Conversation running through my head
Like a movie
Voices are haunting my dark bedroom
So much so
That I can’t form any more words
For this insipid poem
Frustration

An Alter Ego
Been battling feelings
Of the sinful nature
Been rolling around
In skin that’s not mine
It is so freeing
To be self-indulging
Knowing they are
Throwing me side glances
For something is peculiar
Must give up
The addiction
Of living as my alter ego
Crawl out into
my old world
Never forgetting
The feeling of sin
upon my skin.

Sleepless Thoughts
I sat talking across from the person that knows me too well.
She is the mirror that I can’t avoid.
I have been fooling myself for so long,
I don’t normally get away with it this long.
Trying to justify my inner feelings
It’s normally a breeze to put feelings on paper,
But I’m having a hard time admitting those words.
“You are not that type of person.”
How do you ignore that statement?
They are words that seep into your psyche.
None of this makes any sense.
But I suppose it shows the truth,
Of how my head is truly working.
One last thought before I go,
I want to forgive you,
But I’m no longer that person
I’m the person you made me become.
I don’t know how to change that.

Embracing Comfort
To me
You’re just a blur
In a picture
That won’t focus
Giving a migraine
Of longing pain
That digs into
My one weakness
That is always
Looking back
Giving the comfort
To know
You are close enough
For me to go
Running back
To you
So I can
keep walking
forward.
