Poems One
He held my hand and stared off into space before we took the plunge off the cliff to the dark expense of the unknown below...
*****
Going Home to live in the sea
A ship sinks into the sea
My heart sinks as I watch you
Drown
The tides rush over our
feet as our children play in the sand
I catch a glimpse at a pod of dolphins
Frolicking off in the distance
But close enough that I imagine
Riding one of their tails
Off into the horizon
*****
Fleeting Moments
There he stands again
And here I am
Just passing time
A grey cloud comes over heard
Full of dread as the droplets fall
Upon my head
He comes to my aide
Umbrella in hand
Now holding it over our heads
All I can do is just stand,
Heart in hand wanting
So much to speak to make
A new friend
But nothing comes out
Not a hello
Not a thank you
Nothing not even a spark
Of recognition
He doesn’t remember me
He doesn’t seem to recall
The night we shared
The evening we existed within
A fleeting moment of joy
But then I blink my eye
You stand again, across
From me
And here I am
Just passing time.

Crazy Dreams
The crazy dreams I had felt so real
They had no end
No beginning for that matter, either.
I was someone else and you were
Faithful
I could trust you
I could tell when you were lying
The Dream carried me away
To my safe place
Far off the ground
Over y’all buildings in a single
Bound
I didn’t want to come down
It felt so real. I was someone else
And you were faithful.

We fall
He takes my hand, laces my fingers within his own as he leads my to the door
Through the rabbit hole
We fall
We fall
We fall
He doesn’t deserve to see all
The worlds beauty
That time has so mercilessly
Lent to us temporarily
I cross my arms around myself
In serious contemplation
Whether or not I’ll fight him back
Or accept my limitations
Through the looking glass I see
That I am trapped
Forever captive
