so beautiful are
the colors of your hidden
possibility

Sail to the Moon

I will fly away

I will sail into the moon

Will you come with me?

Trust me...

This will only hurt
For a second. I promise.
Boy, you look tasty.

Oh, stop! You're too kind.
It's just my lil' ol' pilgrim
Costume...and my gun.

I'm gonna cut down
My Christmas tree...(after I
Eat dinner, that is...)

(It's no wonder men don't trust us.)

Business Casual

Dark ink on my shirt.
Dark circles under my eyes.
Dark night working late.

Duluth

If he doesn't come
Back this time, I'm going to
Duluth with Harold.

Motionless

Motionless I wait.
Buffeted from within by
my heart's hurricane.

Water Fall

Come Autumn Come! Please.
Bring cool nights, breezy days and
Rain! We thirst for rain.

On Egg Shells

I'm sorry before
I begin. No chance of praise.
Always wrong/dumb/wrong.

What Happened Here?

What happened here... back

When these walls were as young as

the hands that built them.

Imposter

A monster they say?
Humans are so gullible.
Eeek! Here comes Nessie!

Dorks in Love

I may be a dork
But I am loved by a dork
Happy dorks in love.

Mercy

I'm at your mercy.
Now. But don't get used to it.
I'm not a pleaser.

Self-Scuttled

Fear covers us and
To save ourselves from drowning,
We sink our own ships.

hear me

hear the words rising
from the breathe in my body
i am not afraid

Apart

The pain of missing
Softened by this, though apart
Together in heart.

Toothpick My Eyelids

Too happy to sleep
Time is at a premium
Caffeine required

Cycle of Red

Red of a blood sun
So short a time remaining
Brown, dead, again green

People Are So Strange

    People are so strange.
    You never can predict them.
    Shhh, just go with it.

Spring is on its way

Spring is on its way.
Tart, light, sweet. It is waking.
Puker...bask...release.

Lo (ahhhh!) ve

"Hi, my name is Love."
"Oh, um, take a step back please,
You're a bit too close."

What is this crazy
thing that I want so badly
but fear so deeply?
