Another Man

I remember his dark eyes,
charming smile,
the suspicious tone in his voice,
his negative energy,
like a thief casing out
a joint he plans to rob.
I remember his fist to my eye,
to my lip,
my stomach,
his foot to my ribs,
the sound of one cracking,
like a branch being snapped
in half.
I remember hitting the hard,
cold dirt,
gravel scratching my face,
skin tearing from my palms,
like a cheese grater
rubbing up against a
block of cheese.
I remember the grunts,
anger deep in his eyes,
the tearing of my shirt,
removal of my pants.
This wasn't my father,
it was another man,
one I didn't know,
one I never talked to.
I remember I was in a park
where young kids play,
trees and flowers grow,
lovers lie under trees,
snakes slither about.
I remember wondering
if every girl's first time was like this,
rough and painful,
embarrassing and degrading,
like a child having his
pants pulled down
in front of a group of his friends.
I remember blood pouring
down my cheek,
off my lip,
out of my nose;
my hands being pinned
to the ground.
I remember the exact moment
he entered me,
the pain,
dirty feeling,
the roughness of his hands
on my breasts,
sadness that followed,
dreams that broke,
the heartbeat that skipped,
vomit that begged to come up;
like lava pushing
itself out of the top
of a volcano.
I remember the orders,
to shut up,
lie still,
and the threats
of death.
I remember the blinding light
that came with every fist,
like the flash from a camera.
I remember the helplessness,
the embarrassment,
anger.
I remember it all and thinking,
what could be worse?,
screaming,
so much screaming.
Was it me?
Was I really that loud?

And She Sleeps

Fresh air blows around us
waves crash down onto the sand
seagulls walk about the beach
and she sleeps...

The ocean speaks with sprays of anger
a deep rumble surfaces from below
rage swirls deep in the center
and she sleeps...

Our walls here are made of rock
our doorway is a body of water
our ceiling is the clouds above us
our bed is the sand below
and she sleeps...

So many different worlds around us
broken dreams swim softly in the water
anger and sadness speak from deep down
and she sleeps...

There is a calmness way out
peace lies far in the center
dreams, fantasies; and illusions swirl
and she sleeps...

Waves begin to die down
the water carresses the sand
rocks melt into the water
and she sleeps...

The ocean a romantic setting
waves a faint lulliby
the sand a bed of nature
and she sleeps...

My fingers brush through her hair
I sit up and smile down at her softly
I press my lips to hers
and she sleeps...

Turned Away

Refused . . .
abandoned once again
darkness the only company
ugliness that never leaves
turned away and ripped in two
left to a mindless shrink
parents lost in judgement
floating in empty space
clarity fogged by pain
teacher filled with frustration
tears flooding the heart
left for dead in sadness
blind to all of life
spirit running on empty
chased away from long lost freedom
spinning in a whirlwind of confusion
a deserted baby in a dumpster
left alone in total darkness
unanswered cries for mercy
sadness locked behind eyelids
a prison of flesh and bones
scars are physical reminders
a bomb of sheer disappointment
left in a desert without water
the last chance fades away
the final leaf of a bitter fall
a cold winter anticipated
fear chills the weakening bones
silent screams of anguish
echoes . . .

Love is Love

I am a woman and I am in love...

This love leaves feelings in me I've not felt before.
These feelings start at my toes and goes up to my head,
it swirls up through my body,
it makes my heart beat faster,
it makes the butterflies mingle in my stomach,
it makes my legs feel like jello;
and it makes my toes go numb.

This love has touched me so deep,
everything seems more beautiful,
everything seems more real,
everything I feel now feels more intense,
everything I speak has more passion,
everything that leaves my lips deliver more truth,
everything I smell is much sweeter,
everything I see holds more detail;
and everything my body holds onto is more positive.

This love has changed my life,
my loves holds me at night,
my loves wakes me in the morning with kisses,
my love listens to me when I speak,
my love comforts me when I cry,
my love supports me in the decisions I make,
my love shares everything with me,
my love openly receives the love I give,
my love laughs with me when I laugh,
my love is strong for me when I am weak,
my love is compassionate to the world,
my love gives selflessly to others,
my love brings out everything that is good in me,
my love frees my soul,
my love inspires me to follow my dreams,
my love knows what true love is,
my love creates small miracles in my life,
my love mends my heart from old wounds,
my love opens new doors for me,
my love protects me from evil,
my love touches my heart;
and my love loves me for me.

I am a woman and I am in love with another woman.

No matter the age, no matter the gender, no matter the distance, no matter the people that judge; LOVE IS LOVE.

I'll Wait Forever

Your pain engulfs you,
burning in your soul,
eating at your insides;
kidnapping your child within.

Keep fighting it baby,
hold on tight,
keep your head high;
lock your hand onto mine.

We're in this together,
just you and I,
in our own little world;
trusting and loving.

Time is nothing to me,
we have eternity,
I'll stay by your side;
I'll wait forever.

Depression vs Me

ROUND ONE:
The darkness swirls at my feet
knocks me on my butt
my breath escapes my body
I slowly clutch my chest
This round is lost...

ROUND TWO:
I plant my feet firmly
a shot comes at my legs
my knees begin to buckle
my faith comes alive
This round is mine...

ROUND THREE:
The war is on
I'm so determined
A shot comes at my gut
I fall to the ground
Anger builds within
I stumble to my feet
A blinding light brings tears
This round is lost...

ROUND FOUR:
Anger fuels me
I'm pumped up now
I refuse to sink
I'm better than that
I stand up tall
and stomp down hard
This one's mine...

ROUND FIVE:
I'm rising above
the darkness fades
my victory is in sight
my heart's pumping fast
I go for it all
I can love myself
I win the round...

ANNOUNCEMENT: WINNER BY TECHNICAL KNOCKOUT, WITH THE SCORE THREE ROUNDS TO TWO...ME!!!

I Watch You

I watch you,
your lips quiver,
your eyelids close,
a single tear falls;
cry baby, cry...

I watch you,
the turmoil in your soul,
the battle that drowns your spirit,
the way you barely keep afloat;
fight it baby, fight it...

I watch you,
I see sadness in your eyes,
your pupils dialate,
the world doesn't exist;
wake baby, wake...

I watch you,
the wanting in your eyes,
the longing in your heart,
the way you hold me so tight;
I'll support you baby, I'll support you...

I watch you,
you think you're alone,
there's silence around you,
the demons speak;
I'll chase them away baby, I'll chase them away...

I watch you,
there's uncertainty in your words,
scattered thoughts fill your head,
words of fear escape your lips;
you're safe baby, you're safe...

I watch you,
there's numbness in your fingertips,
your heart beats are faint,
there's exhaustion in your step;
rest baby, rest...

I watch you,
the slight frown on your face,
a smile that fights to be,
the chattering of your teeth;
smile baby, smile...

I watch you,
there's a flicker of light,
I see it in your eyes,
the glow fights to be;
shine baby, shine...

I watch you,
you've stuffed your beauty deep down,
you let ugliness cover you like a blanket,
you're convinced people shouldn't look;
you're gorgeous baby, you're gorgeous...

I watch you,
the doubt in your mind,
the disbelief you speak,
the subtle way you cry out;
believe baby, believe...

I watch you,
the way you look at me,
the way you kiss my lips,
the way you rest your head on my chest;
I love you baby, I love you...

Ticking Time Bomb

I can feel my muscles throbbing
The burn seeps through layer after layer
The fuse in my back is burning low
The pain level rises
My tears flow harder
My wish for death surfaces
When will it end?

My feet are completely numb
My legs are tingly flesh
The energy stings my veins
Pain cuts through my muscles
My cries for help echo
My longing for releif increases
When will it end?

I can feel the end near
The signals hit me like lightning
Stabbing pains sear through me
My heart beats weaken
My body loses strength
The light becomes dim
When will it end?

I have no questions left
The faith is gone from my soul
Emptiness is only present
Blackness is the color of light
The sand is gone from the hourglass
I've reached the end of my rope
The timebomb has exploded
And this is the end.

The Feeling She Leaves

It tingles in my stomach,
lights up my face,
keeps my heart pumping;
and intoxicates my body,
the feeling she leaves.

It puts meaning in my eyes,
rings in my ears,
shapes my lips into a smile;
and defines for me inner beauty,
the feeling she leaves.

It guides my arms around her,
leaves butterflies in my stomach,
provides energy in my step;
and sings a romantic love song,
the feeling she leaves.

It's my reason for living,
the key to my happiness,
plays music in my heart;
and keeps me young in spirit,
the feeling she leaves.

It keeps my spirit up,
renews my inner soul,
defines my belief in fate;
and allows me to be true to myself,
the feeling she leaves.

I love her so much,
it's so easy to do,
she makes my heart skip;
it's something only she can do,
Oh the feeling she leaves.

What If I Fail You?

I'll be here for you always,
my shoulder I'll hold strong,
my heart will lie open;
and my soul, with you, I'll share.

I'll lie down next to you,
carressing your body,
brushing your hair back;
and looking into your deep brown eyes.

I want to love you completely,
take away your sadness,
heal your pain;
and bring life to your spirit.

A fear lingers above,
it darkens my world,
dampers my confidence;
and tries to steal you from me.

But what if I fail you?,
I can't stand the thought of losing you,
of abandoning you;
of failing you.

So let me in,
don't fight me,
take a chance;
what do you have to lose?

Despite all of this,
my love for you is true,
it grows more each day;
but what if I fail you?

Lost In Your Tide

Your spirit crashed upon me,
like the waves do the shore.
It pounded deep in my heart,
cleansing my inner core.

I was lost in all the haze,
my vision, by love; was blurred.
I wanted so bad to save you,
but my pleas were never heard.

Your waves continue to crash,
pounding you deep into the sand.
Your battles that lie within
will cease only with your hand.

I never wanted to hurt you,
never wanted to push you away.
I just wanted only to love you,
to hold your hand along the way.

You never really were open,
your mind was never clear.
Like a clam closed in its shell,
your actions were ran by fear.

So, now I walk from the ocean,
I feel my heart has died.
I failed in my attempt to save you,
my love lost in your tide.

Destiny

As I look into your eyes
forever is all I see.
Standing by your side
is where I commit to be.

This is only the beginning,
our future is still ahead.
From my lips do come a promise,
with my heart I thee wed.

Our love has kept us together,
our commitment has been true.
You bring to me such comfort,
I look forward to the new.

You wonder how long I'll love you,
the answer lies in my heart.
You're the only one that fills me,
with that our future will start.

God has dealt us a hand,
with you I know I've won.
Fate has brought us together,
destiny will keep us as one.

Why Do I Love You

The reasons are simple,
they're abundantly clear.
The love in my heart
holds you so dear.

My heart and soul,
engulfed in your charms.
My body yearns
to be in your arms.

You ask why I love you,
with ease comes my answer.
You allow me to be free,
my spirit a dancer.

I love you for the sincerity
you speak from your lips.
They seal and mend
my heart from their rips.

I love you for the words
that you speak from your lips.
They seal and mend
my heart from their rips.

I love you for the words
that you speak from your heart.
I feel only warmth
as your lips do part.

I love you for your spirit,
the pure and innocent glow.
You bring to me clarity,
truth is all you show.

I love you for the connection
you allow me to feel.
Your warmth and your kindness
allow me to heal.

The question is gone,
the answer was sent.
The love I have delivered,
for you it was meant.

My Only Fear

How can I look at you
without shedding a tear?
I'm afraid you'll leave
and no longer be near.

I want to show you love,
the kind you desire.
In my heart it burns,
your love is my fire.

Let me love you
and give you pleasure.
Your love in my heart
I will forever treasure.

Never walk away from me,
my heart will cry.
Without you my life is nothing,
in defeat I will die.

It lives deep within,
the fear of your absence.
I long to hear you speak
anything but silence.

So you see it right now,
my only fear.
The path to your heart,
it's so precious, so dear.

My Pain

It burns deep within,
eats at my soul,
churning in my muscles;
and knaws at my being.

It doubles me over,
slows me to a crawl,
keeps me barely moving;
and leaves my spirit crushed.

Drilling itself a hole,
knocking on the door,
making itself a home;
and delivering its wrath.

My smile shines bright,
the sparkle is in my eye,
the energy is kept high;
and nobody ever knows.

Sonia Huston

Rushing In

It builds below,
the worries and tension.
Churning and churning
for the duration.

Up it moves,
slow and steady.
Power builds,
the explosion ready.

Slowly it forms,
such a sight to see.
Your love complete,
the space to be.

In it comes,
engulfing all.
The feelings deep,
they break down the wall.

Slowly it breaks
and opens wide.
Rushing in,
like the pure clean tide.

I let it in
and fresh am I.
Washed and cleaned,
no need to ask why.

The emotions flow,
rushing in.
My heart is pure,
the outcome a win.

Should She Give In?

The feeling so full,
I glow so bright.
I feel like a queen,
could this be right?

I'm holding back,
don't know if it's real.
She fills my heart,
my lips do seal.

There's a twinge of fear,
for I've been hurt before.
I can't stop this wave,
I'm beginning to soar.

Should I allow them to flow?,
or hold on strong?
I don't know what to do,
it's been so long.

She fills my heart
and my spirit is flying.
My lonliness and pain,
fading and dying.

She fills me up,
should I give in?
Allowing her to leave
would be my only sin.

Tear Drop

The pain builds within,
it lays in my heart.
It wells and forms,
tears from my eyes do part.

The sadness is deep,
I feel so alone.
All I want is to love,
the feeling not yet known.

I long to be together,
joined by the love.
My soul mate is out there,
created from above.

The lonliness hurts,
it rips in my being.
I'm scared to death,
I find myself fleeing.

Pain jabs in my heart,
I wish it to stop.
My pain is released
in a single tear drop.

Light

There's a glow around me,
it shines so bright.
It fills me so much,
in my heart lies the light.

I feel all the love,
it keeps me sane.
I empty my soul
and release all the pain.

Now I stand empty and bare
waiting for the one.
I know she will be here,
rising with the sun.

The wait is the hardest,
I long to be in her heart.
Our hands locked together
is a soft and gentle start.

I look into her eyes
and pure heaven is what I see.
The center of her heart
is where I long to be.

I feel her grip
and lighter it becomes.
Her lips slightly part,
words of love she hums.

My wish comes true,
together we are whole.
Our spirits join together,
we are one committed soul.

I look and see our future,
the outcome seems so right.
Our bodies melt as one
pure and glowing light.

Promise

I give you my heart,
from here my promises start.

I promise to think of you
and send you my love.

I promise to pray for you
to the God's above.

I promise to shine for you
and fill your space with light.

I promise when you are blinded,
I'll be your sight.

I promise when you need a shoulder,
you'll have mine

I promise when you're hurt,
to me you'll still shine.

I promise to lift you
when your spirit is down.

I promise to smile for you
and chase away your frown.

My commitment to you my friend,
I'll be here till the end.

I Thank God

For the sun and the clouds,
for the moon and the stars;

For your eyes and smile,
for your heart and tenderness;
I thank God.

For your loyalty and trust,
for your presence and being;
I thank God.

For your friendship and support,
for your hugs and kisses;
I thank God.

Our friendship strong and fulfilling,
our hearts full and connected;
for that I thank God.

Pure Inspiration

I wonder where it comes from,
her courage and her smile.
The strength I see deep within,
willingness to go the extra mile.

Tears do fill my eyes,
but not from pity or sorrow.
To have a friend of such strength,
I look forward to tommorrow.

That's where my emotion comes from,
the feeling of such pride.
I never knew how close strength was,
with my friend it's open wide.

Sometimes in life we give up,
the faith just isn't there.
I ask that you look deep inside,
it lies in the heart if you dare.

I will not expect anything less,
than all her strength and being.
Open your eyes nice and wide,
for believing is truly seeing.

From there my clarity comes from,
seeing her heart and soul.
This woman is remarkable,
her being worthy and whole.

I can't say this enough,
she's filled with determination.
If you look at the whole picture,
she's pure inspiration.

Scorned Love

I was careful and hesitant,
yet safe I felt.
Through our talks and openess
my heart did melt.

I think it was fate
that our souls should meet.
I opened myself,
only fear to defeat.

I wait in silence
for you to show.
My heart taking a chance,
it longs to know.

The emptiness is deep
but worth the try.
You ran away,
deep the confusion did lie.

I gave you my heart
and torn it does lay.
soon it will be mended,
tommorrow's a new day.

Hold this in your soul
for it lies true.
You held my heart
and knew not what to do.

Bask in the knowledge
that I speak from my lips.
The wounds in my heart,
only shallow rips.

rainwav.gif (2771 bytes)

Torn Away

The love was so apparent,
so tender, so true.
The fear lingered,
hesitant of the new.

We talked and laughed,
so obvious was love.
You spooked and ran,
the fleeting dove.

I cried and cried,
stolen was my heart.
The walls of my spirit
did so painfully part.

I question and wonder
what I did wrong.
Over and over
I play our lovely song.

Tears do come
and burn my soul.
Black is my heart,
a lump of hardened coal.

I reach for you still
and hold out my hand.
From the hourglass does fall
the last grain of sand.

What more can I do
but call out your name?
My joy and love
never to be the same.

I close my eyes
and I do release.
My mind, at last,
a sense of peace.

The message not sent
to my ever breaking heart.
The mending and healing
I fully beg to start.

Take with you this,
my heart you did hold.
The end of this love,
sheer and bitter cold.

Goodbye For Now

We finally meet and
everything is bright.

A smile covers my face
and I am alive again.

Like flowers
we dance in the wind.

Like butterflies
we fly in the sky.

Like the sun
you brighten my world.

Like the wind
you cleanse my spirit.

Like the rain
you wash away my impurities.

Unfortunately, like all dreams
this one must end.

I leave slowly
hoping for a chance to stay.

You are like the setting sun
slowly disappearing behind the mountains.

I no longer see you
and my world becomes dark.

I lay and rest my eyes
hoping when they open you will be there.

But like the sun,
I know you will rise again.

So until then,
goodbye for now.

Perfection

Life at once did fill me,
but it did not fully come.
My son now sits with God,
tears; I did bring some.

I cried and mourned
and searched for the answer.
Enlightenment came,
my spirit again a dancer.

When the news did come
about my baby being gone,
my spirit and heart crumbled,
green no longer was my lawn.

I prayed and prayed,
an angel did show.
Word of wisdom came,
slowly I started to glow.

"We are born onto this earth,"
he said with a gentle nod,
"to become perfect and
then return to God."

Now I see the truth,
it came with an act of pain.
My baby was a boy I know,
washed away by the rain.

My baby didn't have to be born,
the answer already clear.
His spirit pure and ready,
his body no longer near.

We live to become ready for God,
that's what life's about.
This baby was already perfect,
that without a doubt.

So now my precious baby
joins God and looks far down.
Just knowing that he's up there,
backwards turns my frown.

As I Am

I accept myself and
everything that comes with me.

All I hold in my spirit
is everything I'm to be.

My body is perfect.

My face is perfect.

My smile is perfect.

I am perfect.

I am a child of God.

Love.

Love me.
Love you.

From me to you,
I am true.

Love.
Love me.
As I love.
As I am.

Betrayed

My heart was true and open,
the love was really there.
I gave you trust and friendship,
my soul you did so tear.

I wonder if you're proud
of the pain you've purposely caused.
Your actions were so viscious,
you never really paused.

I never moved to hurt you,
never told you a single lie.
The evil that lives within you
will stay until you die.

I don't know what possessed you
to deceive and live to cause pain.
Do you even have a heart?,
or is it just one dark red stain?

You've created your own hell,
it will come back around.
Your soul will drift aimlessly,
lost and never found.

God will look down on you,
for your morals were truly swayed.
My soul will fully move past this,
only my heart was so betrayed.

Girlfriend

The secrets I tell,
the tears I cry,
you are there for me
and without you I'd die.

You lend me your shoulder
and you give me your heart.
You always listen
and the healing does start.

You bring such laughter,
my spirit now bright.
I thank God for you,
the friendship so right.

We laugh and we smile,
the angels approve.
We connect and bond,
I dare not move.

This chance I don't miss,
it came from above.

A sister in disguise,
a friend from love.

I can tell you my secrets
and share my dreams.
My eyes are glowing
and my smile beams.

Thank you for this bond,
it's been so long.
My friendship to you,
committed and strong.

Deep Within

Deep within it does lie,
for this love I do cry.

I am scared
to show I care.

Will you think I'm weak
if I tremble when I speak?

Will you fall into the abyss
when I allow you just one kiss?

What will you do
when my fear shines through?

Deep within it does lie
waiting, waiting, and has yet to die.

You are light,
you are love,
you are eternity.

Without you my breath becomes light,
without you I do not fight.

The darkness closes in,
so tight becomes my skin.

My life dwindles away,
without you I cannot stay.

We vowed never to be apart,
now broken is my heart.

My heart slowly does stop
as the dirt is thrown on top.

I see you walk from my grave,
my heart no longer is your slave.

I find peace in my death,
but no longer lives my sweet breath.

You wonder where I've been?,
just commit to look within.

I Look Down

My eyes are no longer,
gone are pools of hazel,
but I look down.

There is no smile,
my lips are numb,
but I look down.

I have no body,
it is dead,
but I look down.

I feel my spirit,
my heart still full
and I look down.

I left to soon,
I long for you
as I look down.

I cry my tears
and I wish for life,
I still look down.

You walk to the ocean
and look far out,
I look down.

In your hand
the memories hold tight
as I look down.

You kiss my memory
and set me free,
I look down.

You let me go,
you move on
and I look down.

I turn my head,
your sight is gone,
I no longer look down.

You loved me,
I loved you,
I am free.

Underneath

You show what you want the world to see,
you withhold from yourself what you're meant to be.

Anger, pain, sadness within,
that is the space you've only been.

At times you feel yourself alone,
but deep inside that's all you've shown.

Ugliness is your lifelong belief,
if only you knew what lies beneath.

Venture far underneath your mask,
reveal with truth your lifelong task.

Show the world what I do see,
allow yourself to just be free.

From me to you comes the challenge to rise above,
allow us to see your beauty, strength, and love.

Truthfully your spirit does soar
and honestly the world will adore.

Just let go and you will shine,
in your heart lies also mine.

I Am Not There

I am not there,
don't look for me.

My laughter, my smile,
and my joy are not there.

My tears, my frown, and
my sadness are not there.

Do not weep your tears for me,
I am not there.

Nothing of mine is there,
only a headstone with my name,
I am not there.

That's not even my body,
it was only a shell to hold my spirit,
I am not there.

Hold me in your heart,
for there is where I am.

Forbidden Love

My heart is finally full,
in the center lies only you.

It is free from empty space,
rapid beats is its pace.

My body is all a glow,
you fulfill me didn't you know?

My heart is weak and turning blue,
my arms reach out to make you true.

Stopped in my tracks by a tiny wall,
I observe you waiting, such a precious doll.

The love is there for I feel it now,
our minds and judgments do not allow.

Was this just not meant to be?,
or must I search and find the key?

So well it lies fully hidden,
no it's here, just forbidden.

You Are My World

I look at the clouds
and the sky so blue.
In the beauty that lives there,
I see you.

I look at the sun
and the glow so bright.
I see your soul
basking in the light.

I look at the stars,
my wish I make.
In my dream I see you,
I dare not wake.

I look at the moon,
there my dreams of you live.
My complete love and devotion
is what I promise to give.

I look at the trees,
you are the reflection.
Your beauty so natural,
you're pure perfection.

I take a deep breath,
your scent fills the air.
My heart I give to you,
open and bare.

You're everything you see,
my life you fill.
In this world that surrounds me,
for you time stands still.

Woman

I am woman,
acknowledge I can.

My role is clear,
my being is dear.

Woman is my title,
my presence here is vital.

My head is held high,
pride in my being does lie.

Years of pain,
loads of strength to gain.

A light does shine,
the glow is all mine.

The feeling of success,
pure joy and nothing less.

Mother is my true role,
deep it lies in my soul.

Beauty, passion, worth, and love;
the definition given above.

Let us be and the world will lift,
for woman is the most precious gift.
