Veracious
The truth balances
on a precarious cliff
‘tween heaven and hell.
Or so it would seem to most…
But it is in fact
between what you wish is real
and what you’re afraid is true.

Thunderstruck
When the spear of God
pierces the heavens above,
all the world is still.
The Bachelor
Single
Lonesome, desperate
Flirting, wining, dining
“It’s me, not you.”
Lying, crying, sobbing
Broken, desperate
Alone
Skyfall
With just a few words,
your whole world can come crashing
down on top of you.
Familiar flavor
Your name on my lips
is sweeter than honey but
doesn’t last as long.
The Eligible
Single
Lonesome, tired
Seeking, searching, flirting
“Care for a dance?”
Swaying, talking, laughing
Happy, content
Together
Madness
Voices speak to me
whispering, shouting, taunting…
There is no release.
Persevere
Cold wind the mountain breaks
as it crashes on the stone
though years may bring the mountain down

The hammer bends the earthly ore
with the aid of heat
and though the ore bears all the blows
it’s stronger through defeat.
Grief leaves scars within our souls
writhing rivets of deep pain
and sometimes we fear
we won’t be whole again.
But dawn will tear the night apart
and daylight finds the darkest hearts.
Starfall
Winter is so cold
that shards of starlight break and
drift into the day.
Coffee courage
Though you have fallen
you cannot help but rise up
like a heavy cream.
