mimicking the stars diamond
quilting the sky.

invisible - unknown.
Moon please lend me
your light that someone
will me see me.

birthed from pain
flying with the freedom
of my verses.

just ask.

If there is passion, let me feel its heat.

my breath raspy, my skin to burn.

I now know how your anger
came from skeletons
that rattled in your heart
and you couldn't escape them.

Let me live my final days whole.
Let my memory remain that I might know love's face.
Life don't unwrap me to be fed to scavengers.
I want to escape into light - not exist in darkness.

when silence is all I know?

I seek to be moved, my imagination reborn.
Let me feast on poems that feed my hunger.

just waiting to be written,
lift your pen and speak.

and there is no one to stare or question.

There are no stones
honeycombed into
an abusive tongue
strong enough
to clip my wings.

A dream doesn't die because it has no truth. It dies because you fail to nurture it.
