overshare

I overshare
And no one cares
I place my heart
Out on a shelf
Lovely to look
Precious to hold
Every piece
Shining pure Gold
Intentions none
I love to talk
And should you smile
A starting gun
The words they fly
Like dear old friends
I chat a storm
Cold early morn
Oh, gotta run?
Let’s meet again
No hidden truths
Or misplaced guise
I am for real
No alibis
And what you see
Is what you get
This one girl’s voice
Just wants a friend

***

The Fallen

Crashing waves
Fallen dreams
Freedom fight 
Mask the dawn

Soldier child
Carry me
Left behind
Just a pawn

Left to die
Missed hero
Faulty flag
Worth zero

Who am I
Someone's child
Scream my name
I am gone

Flander's field
Say my name
Widowed son
Soldier's song

Camoflauge
Die the brave
Yet you shout
It's all wrong

One day soon
We will be
United one
United free

the man that i need

I want you to be
the man that I need
Do you see?
Two is much stronger
and does make me feel
I’m tethered
And loved more than one
could possibly be,
solitarily
Do you see?
Can you imagine
the satisfaction
being our own team,
amazing
A life together
always forever
you and me
Do you see?

Captive

I dress her in crushed velvet. Deep purple, and defiant. Bright pink strands of colored hair. Her skin smooth like porcelain. Cold to touch, all warmth fleeing.  Fascinating, this stillness. Ruby lips so plush and ripe. I taste her, a gentle kiss. Her screams still echoed aloud. Contained in this cement room. Gloriously surrendered. Hesitant I was to quell. Morning seeps through thin fabric. My gaze lingering, my love. The door closes behind me. To let my pretty one sleep. ***
