We never get enough time
even though no time would
be enough.
Still the moments exist,
taken as still frames in my mind,
etched in my heart to forever
remind.

Unknown Depth
The roaring brook is like
music to my ears
with its unknown depth
drowning my fears
and the trees overhead
block out the light
sending me into the darkness
I need to fight.

Coat
The seasons change
and so does my coat,
leaving you to drown
in this hair filled moat.
Just try to kiss me
and you will find
a beard of fur
is quite divine.
Lost is one thing
that I will never be
since I leave in my wake
little pieces of me.

Green Eyes
You gave me a look
as if we’d met before
and your smile lit the room
before you even closed the door
and I returned a gaze
as my heart fell to the floor
and I knew in a second
I could not ask for more.

Cheater
Caught in the act
and two parties react
forever engrained,
tainted and stained.
Apologies don’t count
as flowers mount
and love is lost,
was it worth the cost?

#tbt
A darkness resides,
deep within my soul,
ready to strike as needed,
simmering like hot coal.
–
Too many times I’ve been burned
so now the tables are turned.
I’ll let my darkness of the leash
and release this deadly beast.

Ninja
Precise and stealthy,
you will never know I’m here
until it’s too late.

Eloped
I left the next page blank,
as if someday I’d find
the words to finish a story
that should never have left my mind.
The words that bled into the page
couldn’t capture what I’d hoped
and the blank page that I left
took my ideas and eloped.

Haze
How could my heart ever heal
with a wound so deep and raw?
This endless sadness that I feel
is life’s one true flaw.
My tears will never dry
as they flood my broken heart
and the hazy days float by
as I break further apart.

Fur-Dried
I know something is wrong,
I can tell from the tears
that seep into my fur,
that much is clear.
I know someone is missing,
though not where he’s gone
and I know that I miss him
but tomorrow’s a new dawn.
I know why the tears are shed
and I’ll allow them for now.
My fur can dry your tears
while I cry out, meow.
