"Chasing The Sun" *
If I look inside
and touch the dark
empty spaces
and feel cold
The clouds overhead
silently wait before
a storm that never comes
as the world
holds a collective
In the morning
you stand outside my door
waiting expectantly
You smile
as you take my hand
and whisper hope
into my unsuspecting ear
Beside you
I feel whole
without you
the ravages come
like vultures
I would do
anything for you
you warm my heart
and I am forever indebted
Though we cannot
be together
I shall be devoted
to you, beloved
I will never be afraid
to be the star
chasing your Sun.

Poem: "The Angel"
"The Angel"
She looks down
at her fallen beloved
as he struggles to breathe
"I can save you still," the angel
whispered softly as she knelt down
her shimmery wings barely touching the ground
And her lover smiled, without a word
and he caressed her cheek
wiping the tear that fell upon
her beautiful face
As they kissed
for the last time
warmth filled her
once more
as he held her close
slowly dying
In the final moments
of their beautiful parting
she stood over him
and loving plucked a feather
placing it over his heart
As she leaned in
and whispered in
his ear:
"You may be gone
but never forgotten
and forever remembered
in the chambers of my heart
and soul"
As she took to the sky
and flew away
across the face of perfect
weeping Heaven.

Poem: "The Other"
"The Other"
"Once in the madhouse they came like specks of cinnamon." - Anne Sexton
The seconds tick away
as I glance at my watch
impatiently
waiting for you
There is a man
who loves you
he came by today
and asked
"What is it you want with her?"
I smiled, but said nothing
Your beloved does not know
could never fathom
the depths of my passion
and devotion to you
My dearest one
if I cannot be with you
I don't want to ever
see the sunrise
or feel breath in my lungs
again
You have stolen
pieces of me, darling
that I cannot ever get back
Must I be forced to live this way
unable to see in the darkness
with your precious light?
No, I suppose this is the way of things
now that you're lost and gone
I wish you well, love
But I'll always stand here
in front of your house
on your street
now deserted
Your faithful "other."

Poem: "Leaves and Silence"
"Leaves and Silence"
Walking outside
as the autumn cold
hits my face
my feet hitting the pavement
Not long ago
when the world
seemed so easy
and my heart
still believed
In silly things
like love
and happy endings
when the sun shone
its brightest
When I had you
in my life, dear
everything seemed so
much easier
Our parting
without a goodbye
has broken my heart
once more
Even though I know
we never can ever go back
I miss the way you loved me
and how you made me feel
So you're gone now
and every moment of joy
has faded but forever remembered
lost now
amid leaves and silence.
