Trapped
Trapped in a loveless relationship.
Trapped in an astronaut suit.
Trapped in an alternate reality,
that puts everyone first but me.
Oh how I long to be free.
Show myself the love,
forgiveness, kindness
so easily given to others.
How much longer must I
endure the consequences
of insecurity, passiveness,
fear of moving on to the
life and love I deserve.

You and Me
Hold on to the dream,
of you and me,
floating free
in air and sea.
After all the drama,

it's still you and me,
for all eternity.

turn to gold,
to prolong the beauty of this moment,
indefinitely.

in this time and space,
accompanied by
crabs in a bucket,
and a host of other cliches,
determined to control
your creative mind.
Give in to dark energy,
and you become it.
Rise above it.

A Cautionary Tale
Come close if you must,
to my heart of rust.
Taste my sorrows
of ash and honey,
beneath the illusion
of love and money.
After the show,
your life’s a mess,
you’ll fall in line
with the rest.
. . .
It’s not too late,
to change your fate.
Turn away from a life
of heartbreak.
What you seek
is found within,

Filtered Memories
Back seat kisses,
backyard volleyball,
barbecues,
long walks in the woods,
sunbathing on the beach,
smiling, laughing,
talking for hours,
holding hands,
slow dancing to George Straight songs,
making love until dawn,
falling asleep in each other’s arms...
Filtered memories,
behind the sheer curtain of my mind,
or fantasies,
found in a bottle
