Like a fire in your eyes
a moth to a flame
The aroma of perfection
so fierce, as you inhale
Your blood pumps faster
exhaling emotions
Thrusting your feelings,
with lightening speed
Through your body
because of seeing them
With all that you are,
you'd die for them
They are glass
never plastic
Something so real,
it terrifies you
Yet your desire
from your mind, and soul
Tells you it's right
Yes, they are the one
Yearning, for their touch
their lips against yours
Bodies intertwined together
by a swirl of thoughts
Intense and powerful
this is what you do to me.

Mental Health

Deep into the darkness
the hell I live in
The chaos in my mind
takes over control
Waking up each day
not knowing who I am
Medicine helps some
there is no cure
What I have is invisible
but killing me inside
Just because I don't look sick
doesn't mean I am not
Flip and flop
Back and forth
Evil and Angel
Sustain the rage
keep it locked up
For if it was released
I fear the unknown
I am never alone
the voices are always there
Sometimes they let me have control
but only for a short time
I can never clear my mind
there is too much going on
There is never a quiet moment
constant and consistent
Chatter and evil
spewed forth from my mind
I tell them to shut up
they just laugh at me
Telling me they own me
I will never get away
This hell is my life now
there is no way out
I am trapped inside my own mind
rattling the cage to get out
I want to be myself
not who they want me to be
I have my own mind and ideas
my goals and dreams
I will be damned if they ruin it
or try to take it from me
I will fight this fight
alone if I must
I want my life back
and that is my goal
I will sustain from giving up
I will continue onward
Step by step
day by day
I will walk this journey
because it is mine to walk

As the leaves change
from dull to fresh
Like a music box dancer
that's spinning in circles
Inside I change
as does the seasons
Freshening and anew
fragile like glass
I see that the season brings birth
birth of babies
Birth of self proclamation
finding new beginnings
Opening new doors
The leave turn dark to lighter
invoking life within
The brighter that the leaves become
the happier that I am
Making me feel free and pure
a season to change with
It is no fantasy
for I feel it inside
I am like those leaves
changing from dark to bright
A new start at new things
and I am making it mine

Rising with the birds
chirping joyously outside
Loudly singing their
songs of summer
Beams of sunlight
thrusting from the sky
Time to get things loaded
the coolers and the truck
Then we hit the road
heading out for our journey
Driving there is always fun
laughing and excited for our day
Expressions of giddy anticipation
and the fun we plan to have
Doesn't take long to arrive
our destination is not far
We get everything tied down
each has their own kayak
Getting in and pushing off
that first few feet from bank
It's always so exhilarating
fresh and pure
It is like instantaneously
being in another world
Mother Nature lures you
deep into her sacred beauty
The silence is calming
soothing and lulling
Not total silence though
you hear nature calling to you
The gentle breeze on your face
the sound the water as it ripples
Birds chirping and critters scurrying
nature has its own cadence
Letting the water carry you
the current leads the way
Watching the trees as you drift by
the leaves so many shades of colors
Deep and light greens
bright vibrant images
Plunging you into an artists pallet
colors spiraling together
So beautiful and radiant
It pulls your glance it's way
The smells are even different
honeysuckle and new growth
Smell of flowers wafting
a lullaby of aroma they send
Enticing a relaxing sense of calm
that comes over me
Each stroke of my paddle
slicing into the water
Propelling me forward
down this endless dream
Dragon flies land on my kayak
fluttering their wings
They say that means good luck
and I believe that each time
Tracing my fingertips along the water
watching casually
From out here on the the river
you escape it all
Letting nature guide me
taking it all in
Breathing in tranquility
exhaling stress and worry
Kayaking is an escape
a clear your mind time
Releasing and relaxing
let the river wash things away
Take a day off from life
leave reality behind
Do just what that ol' song says
and just row, row, row your boat

The old schoolmaster's desk
sat solidly in the corner
Since the day I had inherited it
waiting for my exploration
Nooks and crannies
tiny sections
one after another
Skeletons of memories past
seep from the hidden crevices
The lowest drawer calls to me
enticing me to look deeper
False bottom lifts up
inviting my curiosity
There, covered in dust
a black journal lay
I gingerly lift it from it's hiding place
brushing it off with gentle touch
The journal almost creaked
as I carefully opened it
The pages yellowed
faded by time
Yet the ink still visible
so dark and strong
I start reading
getting lost within his words
Relating so much
it scares me
He wrote of the voices
the good and the bad
He wrote about feeling
like he never had control
My heart pounded in my ears
someone that understood
Never met but bonded as one
First feeling up
then crashing down
He hid it from all
for it was taboo
Yet he had to somehow
let evil spew forth
Onto these pages
in front of me now
Knowing my uncle
whom I've never met
Had the same problems as me
made me feel not so alone
With the turning of each page
I felt newfound hope
Must be the strength
these pages hold

I have so many goals
hopes and visions
Of challenges I crave
desiring to reach
Like a shooting star
bright with glitter
Stirs sparks of hope
deep within me
Such deep yearning
of writing success
Scenes played out
over and over in my head
Clear never murky
as bright as the sun
Little voice inside
telling me to thrive
Coaching me along
journey of life
Reaching towards new
beginnings and challenges
Striving towards my wants
pushing all that I am
Heart and soul set
to be a better me
I know that I'll try
always give it my best
I only live once
so why not try
To make my life
perfectly mine

Following cobblestone walkway
narrowing alley
Rain harsh as hate
I look and see
magical glory
Antiques shining bright
through dust covered window
I rush inside saturated
relics abound before me
Sensing watchful eyes
guardian I'm sure
Tells me to gander
treasures to behold
Cautiously trekking through
forgotten memories
Antique trunk beckoning
calling my name
Knelling me
determined for discovery
Dropping to my knees
I stare in stunned awe
Faded in color
intricate black lock
Key sticking out
begging to be turned
With trembling hand
engaging the key
Aged hinges squeak
as though closed for years
Stale must exhales
puffs from memories past
Peering inside
hollow open space
Yearning to be filled
with memories anew
My fingertips caressing
feeling my way
Over each edge
as we two bond
Intended for me
in unspoken words
Sent straight to my soul
desires us to be one
Our need for each other
provides strength and hope
Both happy again
dwelling in peace
My trunk and I
when I need in
Key turns alone
lid lifts for me
No squeaking at all
like we found each other
Connected so strong
joined in destiny
My new trunk and me

Strength down deep
into the soil
roots intertwined
twisting, latching as one
Yearning to be big
strong and powerful
exactly as I need
deep within my soul
A glow of strength
hovers around it
Keeping it safe from harm
I buried the strength
a tiny bud of hope
It grew and grew
as did I
It's power is so strong
like a taste in your mouth
It will live forever
way past me
I hope it keeps giving
it's what people need

Once they are spoken
or written in ink
Never to be taken back
no matter what you do
Words stick with you
sadly it's the bad ones
Each day hearing them
repeat over and over
Drowning in words
silence is dead
Their impact so fierce
powerful and spewed
They stick with you
forever through life
The craft of blocking
out their sounds
Never works
the words are stuck
Forever in my mind
like glue on paper
I am learning to say NO
want to fill my head
With new and positive words
so that they smother the bad
Make them go away
save my sanity
Words can cut you open
bloody to the core
A hit would be easier
at least it goes away
Words are forever
always think before you speak
Once it leave your lips
once the ink flows
Forever are they imprinted
there is no escape
Verbal abuse kills you
if you allow it to

I am my own enemy
cutting to the core
Evil spewing forth
from my quivering lips
Trapped by myself
held hostage within
Mobility by mind control
control I so want to have
Yet the dark thoughts come
as they always have
I try to tell them to go away
they live inside my head
I need to learn to stop
tell the demons to leave
Banish them back to hell
let me be
What I have there is no cure
stuck with it for life
Living in my own world
looking out at yours
Wishing I could be so free
peaceful and at one
I want to make my own choices
if they'd just release my soul
