Hope
I lost it somewhere
between my childhood dreams and
my adult pressures.

The measure of love
Oh my beloved,
promise me, once I am gone,
you will love again.
Time warp
It’s been so long
since I heard this song.
It takes me back to a place,
reminds me of a face,
and a time we got along.
The respect of children
Oh Mother, Father,
someday I’ll be all grown up,
but remain your child.
Crushed
Don’t tell me we are “only friends” –
don’t say those ugly words to me.
I’ve spent a sunset in your arms,
and traded stories, loves, and charms.
I’ve shared with you my heart and mind,
and thought your shared your own in kind.
I journeyed through the nights with you,
believing that our love ran true…
I gave my love; I gave my all!
Why must I watch our kingdom fall?!
Don’t tell me we are “only friends”
when I just want to be your “only.”
The hope of parents
My daughter, my son,
someday I will be gone, but
you must remain strong.
Angel
When we hit bottom,
we’re looking for someone to
make it all OK.
Cornered courage
I ran from my demons
until I could go no further.
Then I sought them out,
confronted them each in turn,
and named them the cowards they were.
Demon
I was desperate.
I trusted you with my heart.
All I got was pain.
Sensual shadows
Midnight sex’s quite heaven-sent,
a passion which won’t relent.
For even in the darkest night,
the fire still keeps burning bright.
