MEMORIESTrapped. Scared. Confused.The walls are closing in.Hurry mind - drift away,Before daddy's "play" begins."Make your own music,sing your own songAnd, soon the whole worldWill be signing along."Again and again the child readsThis safe poster on the wall,Concentrating long and hardTo keep her mind off daddy's call.The wai...

The sunshine left here long ago -left us living in the rain.The storm clouds overcome us now,Darkness covers all the pain.I don't know when it took us here.But here, is were we are.The storm's upon us quickly now,To keep running won't get us far.As that twisted funnel cloud above,Slowly closes in,The pressure builds within my...

Deep, dark - pit of lifeCrescent moon, shines so bright.No answers, just questions asked.Voices calling, home at last.Aching, churning - anger builds.Can't stop, no timeYou want to killNot others, no - yourself instead.You must cease these voices -In your head.The pain's too great, you can't proceed.Why can't they see just wh...

There's a confusing feeling in my heart,But the pain it brings is clear.I miss you love, so very much,Yet strangely, you're right here.I miss the way we used to love,When our hearts were hand in hand.Now, that bond has all but washed away,Like lost footprints in the sand.We used to look at one another,And see the love we felt...

Tonight the darkness dies.As the light pierces my soul,Backward I am thrown no longer.Forward, I cautiously stumble.Racing through the forest of fear.Passing by the rivers of rage.Then, plunging slowly, downwardly, -Into an unknown sea of shallow love, -But, pure with courage."I love you" is returned.I welcome the sound of th...

So many questions.My minds activity exhausts me,It never stops. Analyzing, searching, comparing, -Always busy.Begging for answers.Asking within.But, there is no "Oz".No "yellow brick road" upstairs to follow.I am on my own.Alone.I've been writing a book inside my head for as long as I can remember.My life has been fast and fu...

Emptiness. It's how we all began. A gift we didn't want and, couldn't wait to get rid of. We were born an empty canvas screaming, "Paint me!" "Paint me!""Make me your passion. Give me your love, your patience and, your influence."From birth, our instincts told us to seek out the paint that would transform the emptiness into a... More..
