chaos

she cries
in dusky red
removed from
the hopelessness
torturing
her soul
lost in the
tenderness
longing to be
whole
she cries
and the echo of
her tears
mark the walls
this chaotic
predicament
like pieces
made of glass
that form one
total mess
incoherent

removed
she backs away
and deserts those pieces

of herself

Griff

7/16/09

such a sweet
honest person
so bruised and
so broken
from trying to
sympathize
with the harsh
and rude
arrogance
of a
close-minded
man

she smiles
almost laughs
now that the
confrontation
has past
seeing just how
comical
such entanglements
can be
when looked at
with irony

Slow Dance

7/12/09

a soft smile in
your eyes
as your fingers
reach for mine
your arm around my
waist
and I am in your arms
the saxophone melts out
some blues
the tune so hot
it lights the moon
I follow as I feel
you move
our hearts dancing
in unison

Aqua Blue

the world around me

swirls

moving gently against my skin

a sweet sensation on

my lips

I dip my hands into this fountain

of water pure, w life or'flowing

it fills my soul

from head to toe

rejuvenating as I taste

its refreshing

vibrance

the sound of water

rushes over me

I look

and see my reflection

of everything I hide

the depths

reveal the thoughts

inside and I cannot

break the gaze

of this woman

bearing my name

demanding I confront

the reason for her

existence

the emerald pools

of her eyes

pierce my heart

and question

the purity of its

intentions

in answering the

blue changes to red

the swirling colors

now rip thier way

into my skin

my passionate blood

fighting against

the limits of

consciousness

her fiery eyes

boldly pushes away

the last solid pieces

remaining

forcing me to

fall through space

ageless, timeless

empty

when all at once

I suddenly

feel the rush of water engulfing me

completely immersed in

the depths of this fountain

forever extending in every direction

encompassed in my womb

comforted in darkened blue

which way is up?

I cannot tell

letting go

my lungs contract

filled w my first

aquatic breath

I swim into the

endless peace that

penetrates

this liquid

I breathe

my dear friend

hope is always

visible, in the flashes

of light that make up

my thoughts

every time

I think of you

I can't explain

the sensation of

adoration expounded

a million times a million

when w my mind's eye

I see you

My heart embraced

placed in your reach

my past seems so

much more far away

when I envision a future

w someone similar

to you
