You and I were never strangers.
long before we ever met
you held the key to my heart.
You were one I could never forget.
In another world, another time,
We have done it all before,
But one . . .

I can still smell the scent of grandmama's teacakes
I can still remember eating so much that my stomach ached
I can still hear her humming "Amazing Grace"
I can still picture the smile . . .

Yesterday I was okay, but today I must dwell in the past,
Reliving the painful memories of a love that didn't last.
Today I need to feel lonely, today I must give up my pride.
Today I will crawl . . .

Strawberries and hypocrisies
are strewn by the way
that I place my choices
and make my day.
Water is the source of life
and my inspirational cue.
Let's have a clue
about who we think . . .

While premiers are given powers
as the elephants fight
and the soldiers are charged
by armed gangs,
the court told the man:
'Admit to the theft of the poor
so that the domain . . .

I know how the prisoner feels
When he's locked up in the pen.
I feel the longing in his soul
To be outside again.
I see the sag of his shoulders
As he sits there reminiscing,
And . . .

In just a moment
I knew---But I was lost in your eyes
So I said it didn't matter,
That you were never mine to keep.
I basked in the heaven of your smile
Ignoring the hell in my heart, . . .

I was walking down life's highway a long time ago
One day I saw a sign that read, Heavens Grocery Store
As I got a little closer, the door came open wide
And when I came to myself, I was standing . . .

Left alone,
locked in the past.
Forgotten friendships
buried,
Never meant to last.
Left alone
Time standing still
Unforeseen,
this bitter pill.
Left alone,
The sky is gray
It wasn't . . .

At first, the sun was shining.
Its warmth encased my head,
But gray clouds appeared
And without warning
My heart grew cold.
I watched your retreating back
And wondered when . . .

My big toe is big
My pinky toe is pink
My funny bone’s not funny
I don’t like figs
I thing they stink.
So don’t try to feed me any figs, honey.

The earth in all its glory at this time of the year
paints early morning sketches that sometimes bring a tear
Pearly little dewdrops cling so wearily
on grass blades bending over, drooping . . .

there was a time
that i shined like the brightest star
and i thought that when the flame went out
i'd go with it
now the flame is gone
and i'm still here
and the world moves on
it doesn't stay . . .

Ordinarily it wouldn't have happened,
But the booze went to my head.
I lost my inhibitions
And I wound up in your bed.
You looked into my eyes
And lit my body's fire
Pressed your lips . . .

I used to keep my heart
In a woven wicker basket
On a cluttered closet shelf.
It was safe there.
You came along one day
bringing candied sunshine on a stick,
I put it away in a black box . . .

A lop-sided moon
Shows its pock-marked face,
Smirking in a sky bereft of cloud.
While winter trees stretch,
Twisting their limbs toward the sky,
Lifting their last blood dried leaves in silence, . . .

Unwanted rythms.
Unwanted desires.
For amounts
and accounts
that are dangled
daily.
Dwindling on a wire
in a selected frame.
Unable to escape
out of respect
fo the ancient
and the wise. . . .

If I'd died while you still loved me,
Then I would never know the pain
of watching you walk away
and being all alone again.
If I'd died in the beginning,
before I memorized your face, . . .

Alone in the darkness,
I stand at my window
and gaze down on my deserted block,
barely lit by a single street lamp.
Suddenly, I see him,
The old man sitting lonely
On the September cold, . . .

Lonely teardrops
snake down her cheeks
as she sits alone in a crowd
breaking down the barriers
between life and death
while watching her life's blood
drip slowly down a rusty drainpipe
She . . .
