When dream
becomes nightmare
and sleep
leaves me fatigued,
the only cure is you
and your love
which I thankfully
receive.
My night becomes day
and I can dream again
of light and hope
and a new dawn
to let my soul
mend.

Watching you sleep
is my favorite dream;
as you slumber peacefully
my heart bursts at the seam.
Soon when you wake
my dream will come true
since you’ll be in my arms
and the day will dawn anew.

Stuck in traffic
but nowhere to go
so is stuck really the term
to explain what I know?
Home used to be you,
but now home is gone
so where do I go
when the world is all wrong?

In one week,
I ate 32 hash browns,
read 7 books,
picked up the same ball
at least a hundred times.
I made 12 pots of coffee
and 3 pizza pies
just to keep the tears
from falling out my eyes.
And you,
well, you’re still here.

Beneath the boards,
a gentle beat,
a tell-tale heart
of an ancient heat.
Behind the wall,
a desperate soul
buried in brick,
despair in a hole.
Trapped inside
this hellish head,
goddamn bird,
wish I was dead.

How quickly we went
from
“how was your day?”
movies, flowers,
late night chats,
love, trust,
occasional spats
to
indifference,
distance,
occasional chats
living alone
with our own cats
and
the only question now,
“where is it you work again?”

Stones unturned
and left
for moss to grow.
Ideas stuck,
prisoners
to those who know.
The past
left behind,
too heavy to tow.
Turmoil boils
hiding
in the depths below.

So much time gone by
and I can’t look you in the eye
knowing that last night
we ended with a fight.
But when you start
with flame in your heart
you’re bound to get burned
and lessons will be learned.

I hope your spirit haunts me
once every day.
So my spirit will be lifted
from this dismal fray.
I’ll look out for the signs
you leave in your wake
and know that every spook
is a new memory to make.
I hope that you will be able
to move on in time
but know that your spirit
will always be with mine.

A disaster awaits
just around the corner
those of us who know
are still blind as to what
but I can feel the change
in the air and all around
and whatever is in store
will surely bring us down.
