Once again we turn to darkness,
Once again embrace the night,
Once again we turn from lifeless,
Once again refute sun's light.


Weather

The dancing snow whirls;
Covers the filth of man;
Nearly blankets distorted earth,
But cannot mask in full
The damge done.
The rain falls heavy
And washes down
The folly of the mind,
Yet the rain cannot undo
The damage done.
The sun bakes dry;
It lets all grow
And plants reclaim earth,
Yet all that grows cannot disguise
The damage done.
Hail does beat that created
Not by natural hand,
But hail even cannot revert
To earth's scarred crust
From damage done.


Pairs
Grey day
Grey heart
rain Falls
tears Fall
Flood of river
Flood of emotion
earth Drowns
hurt Drowns
End rain
End tears
sun Heals
time Heals


Whichever

falling tumbling
unrestrained unchecked
unknown undone.
re-formed re-started
made again rent again
part of part from
all may either be
1 in love
2 out of love


Compounds

Freely Bound
Controlled Freefall
Unchecked Measures
Unknown Wisdom
Creatively Rent
Outwardly Private
Withheld Exposure
Advanced Primatives
Bitter Candy
Sweet Tears
Opposited Likenesses


Where to go?
	What to do?
Indesicion paralysis
Leaving nothing done.


Mourning into Dancing

When I sit and stare at bare walls,
I do not know how not to think.
My mind fills with things I would rather it not
And I have no way to shut it down,
So I resign to the onslaught of memories,
The torrent of words and images
That tumble from the archives of my brain
Amd wonder how I came this far.
I recall then who pulled me through-
To the cheering-up moments we girls shared:
From drooling over fictional hotties
To the insanity of the booty slapping game
And I laugh so bloody hard
That the hurt seems trivial
To the joy it brought on.


I am a poet
By my own definition.



Love can be beautiful
Or it can be painful
But whatever it is
You learn from it.
