| MY POEMS |
| Invisible I cower in the dark Alone I scream But no one hears me They just walk on by Can't look me in the eye My cries are drowned out by their laughter Just walk Over me Around me Don't look down My pain Intensified By their indifference Am I Invisible? Or Are They Blind? -M.P. '91- |

| Untitled Love half-guessed my sincere intentions And veiled my awkward nakedness Contemplation marred by fears muted Now rage unabated, My soul can no longer contain. I trembled with a passion You elicited with one touch Warmth of sweet breathe Like a rose caressing Virgin skin. But love reclaimed what I could not purchase, It refused what my desires tried. Once the spirit that moved the immovable And illuminated where only darkness trod, Became a dagger that scarred A life which, for death, yearned and cried. Passion resurrected That which for birth a-waited, Tortured one whose life, By Chance, denied. Love revealed its dual existence, Creator and destroyer both. With a hesitance that only pain can wrought, Reflection precedes unveiling, Searching for love's vision, blind, For petal-soft lips to heal The scars that fear's sheer robe cannot hide. -M.P. Oct. '95- |
| Sinner's Demise Enveloped in this hazy, dazed confusion Attempting to incise the daydreams, the illusions The fantasies that detrimental to my life exist Succumbing to temptations I can no longer resist Inhibitions laid low I slowly let go Of all childhood lessons not fully learned Dancing towards hell's fire, wanting to be burned Feigning deafness to angelic whispers Reserved for immoral spirits and impenitent sinners Raising a trembling hand to my eyes To block my vision of the sinner's demise. -M.P. Jan. '96- |
