    She was on her death bed It was almost her time to go She stood But was told to rest She saw something she couldn’t resist No, mom, you need to rest, please.    I can’t back down. I need to go, you see. Mom, just wait a minute.    No, I have to go now.    I…

  • Perfect Mirrors

    I looked for you to find a perfect mirror to find myself in you to find that I was not alone and you, too were suffering and needed love that ran deep The deepest rivers and canyon ridges had nothing on us deep from our core we raised hot magma we held the building blocks…

  • Lock & Key

    A treasure trovefilled with secrets A lock and keytwirling through fingers Turning the keydemons spring forthdancing in the light. Bewildered,taking in their faces,their shapeshifter dance,I sink further into the knowingand cannot be undone. We throw the box into the sea and toss the key. O, what these eyes have seen cannot be unseen so easily.
