World Poems
Time does not care
What I forgot to say
It takes no notice
of what I dared to dream

All and any of my actions
of held forfeit-

If I feel let down
alone and berift
set upon a windless sea
hungry and adrift

Time won't notice
blind to my pleas
I shall starve for love
yet drink of the stars

Time does not care
it just trickles along
As I face you,
my heart goes cold within

But I guess I hide it well
behind this crooked grin of mine...
a hesitant smile hides a small fear,
yet all the while
I feel guilty as sin.

You think I have no reason to be,
you say I am okay,
that I got off scot-free-

Well, I feel otherwise.

And that,
that is what's reflected in these eyes-
I wish I could make you see
the things I do

The icy looks that rip right through
the shakey walls of justification
that I built-

So here we stand
two shells cast up on a white beach of guilt
caught in a certain kind of hell
with salvation just out of reach.

You look at the ocean,
and undulating meadow of green sin
the father of night
blowing salty tears from the tips of the waves
to land on our cheeks

such salvation
just out of reach....
In a new city,
place and time
alone
I find within
an awakening
of old energies
and memories
that have lain waiting
for summoning
to give me the understanding
of what I need now
Simply the strength
to carry on
the wisdom to understand
and the vision to see
all the dreams
left behind
to burn on a sandy beach
next to a stilled sea
where she spins away
time, and love,
like they are boundless springs
for her faithful servants
to drink forever from..

I am thankful that I am done.
Freedom of Choice

Do the dreams
of a thousand
men of stone
outweigh mine
alone?
Does circumstance
justify defiance-
By whose but my own
definition
do I define my life by?
I've asked this
little question
time and time again
across the lonely
roads of this land
The answers
the ones I seek
never seem to come
probally never will
not in my dreams,
the dark, or light of day.
New faces,
new places,
and still the game     goes on.

Empty spaces,
mind erases,
  memories of what
    I have done.

Cold smiles,
long miles,
  across the eastern
   shore.

Silent stares
billowing hair
  the wind follows me
    home.

Blinking lights
lonely nights
  the morning finds
     me, alone.
