"Shattered Ceiling"

Shattered belief and
Truth is loose,
Set free

Inside my voice
Soft, building
A story begins to stand
Shaky
With wobbly new knees

Opportunity knocks
As the rebel rides away
And I remain
Shy and unsure
The parts missing,
Hidden from your veiw

Feelings and opinions
Nare spoken,
Fore who was I to say,
Collaborate
To dismantle and
Create:

Exposed now
And un-stuttered.

"A Garden of Glass" - A poem from 2005 or 2006

"You Can't Take it With You"
Is a poster I see
About a play
A comedy

On a yellow poster
Posted on a wall
Or posted on a window
Sometime last fall

Or was it winter
I forget you see
Since life then seemed
A tragedy

Which blurs the lines
Of Clarity
Until one day
They made me flowers

A garden of glass, really

And Eli made me
A metal box
With blinding fire
And sprayed spit

His eyes gleamed
With a twinkle
Never to quit
And

I see on the chalkboard
In the bathroom it states
Fall down seven times
Get up eight

For this life is a tease
Of plans never followed
A spike to the core with a twist
Fragility Frigidity Transparent

Dissipating in chunks

"PURE"- a poem from 2007

Alcohol haze, I think of you
Sleepless nights
I dream about you
Orange and reds your note sing
Melancholy

Task and time scatter
Filling in-between
Swelling and squeezing
Moments
So splendid and pure

Seconds of clarity
Fade
Their lives spent
As quickly as my breath
Breaths in

Hours and nothing
Never do meet
Overwhelmed

My lips go numb
With kisses delayed
