Ghazal

Wolves running through the trees
Wild and so free.
Stalking their prey without laws
How nice it is to be free.
To sing at the moon without a care
So happy they are to be free.
And mating just once, until the day they die
If we could only be just as free.

Cinquain (modern)

Drums
Hard, Fast
a heart beating
a new day dawning
dancing.

Cinquain (traditional)

The voice
Clear and unique
Carries across the stage
into the sea of people there
watching.

Gentle Vibrations of the guitar
Caress my soul
like the velvet fingers
of a lover against my skin

The Storm of you

Thunder rolls across the sky
and rumbles loudly
within the chambers of my heart
When you look into my eyes

Lightning crackles and lights the night
Like this raging storm
that rips throughout my soul
When I feel your presence next to me

Heaven's tears contain my fired spirit
cooling the fever, left by your touch
You are, so sweet and wild
and I love you though I shouldn't

Only you can control me
You are what tames me
You are what stills me
You are what makes me whole.

While I Scream

did you lie to me?
again, like before?
what do you take me for?
a stupid whore?

No.
That would be you
a whore to your lies
what else is fucking new?

I wish i could hate you
everyone knows i've tried
what they don't know
is I still care....

I scream my frustrations
to the sky.

Desire's Addiction

Salt trails down my cheeks
where tears that dry remain
I long to feel you inside me
just like a moth to the flame

And addict I am
to your drug of love
Tempting me
Haunting me
Consuming desires
will they destroy me?

This need is great
I want you
I Crave tou

What in gods name have you done to me
I'm free
Or was supposed to be
Maybe though I can't be

I don't want this
just go away
and release me from this trap
of desire's addiction

The Light of Mourning

As night slides away
Chased back by the vibrant light of dawn
My eyes, they burn with sleep that was not
but my mind keeps moving on

So many memories fill me
I just travel down that lane
So many things we two have endured
and now it will never be the same

I miss you, I love you
this mourning deadens my soul
The empty void of grief makes me hollow
and I feel so completely unwhole

-for Amanda-

Grief's Battle

Sleep is fleeting
My Night is lost
Memories bubble up
as I lie here breathing

Pictures of a past once lived
flash through out my mind
good, bad, and unforgetable
Love's the tie that binds

What will I do without you
your smile and laughter is gone
Through this fog of fog of grief I fight
Trying to find a way to move on

-For Amanda-

Again

I held you in my arms
it seems a lifetime ago
Such a proud big sister I was
planning to teach you all I know

Different paths we chose to take
as those years flew by
Still though, we love one another
Even when we'd make the other cry

So many things I wanted to say
I had thought we had the time
But I was wrong my little sister
Your time ran out, with no real reason why

It was supposed to be all right you know
Like always
But now you've gone away
why couldn't you have stayed?

Your time here was not enough
too soon you were taken
Now I sit here alone as I write
all the while my heart is breaking

I love you baby sister
What more can I really say?
Except I know you love me
and your in my thoughts each day

Your in the Divine's embrace now
where you'll never fade away
The special rose that finally blossomed
the night you passed away

Keep my place up there for me
there's still reason for me to stay
While I sort through this pain, keep my spot warm sissy
Until I see you again.

-For Amanda-

The Call

I called your phone
but no one is home
I guess you've gone away

I just leave a message
at the tone
To say I'm sorry
and I wish you had stayed

I called your phone
but you'll never answer again
This is a courtesy call of a sister's grief
I'll just leave my message
at the beep

I Love you, I miss you
always know
I wish I could have told you so
I'll just hang up the phone.

-for Amanda-

I dream

I dream of a time
that the world cannot erase
the memories we share
the knowing that you are mine

I dream of a place
we'll go to get away
Where we can just be ourselves
and live
