Love Me Enough

Love me enough to step out of your cage

Let the wild you meet me 
without bars between us

The door is open, step out, shed your tame self, let the wild you free

Move boldly to me, take the treats I offer from my hands, lick the leftover juices from my fingers

Walk in the sunlight with me, feel the warmth against your skin, our skin

Come with me to the water, feel the cool silk of wet against your skin, our skin

You stop to look over your shoulder, the cage door is open

You shrink away, I feel you leave, I let you go

You slowly turn back, close the door, and pace in your cage 

I stand in the sunlight with it's warmth on my skin, 
only my skin; 
I feel the cool water lapping against me, 
only me.

How to Forget



She had forgotten,
what was possible...
So managed to live a quiet, steady life.

Veil lifted to reveal,
The enormity of possibility overwhelmed.

Standing on the edge of life,
She wondered how to forget, if she could forget,
What she now remembered.

Forgotten Dream



In an abandoned farmhouse,
Vacant doorways and shattered windows invite the outside in.

The rooms are empty,
Misty echoes of voices grope along the edges of the walls,
Only ghosts reside in this place now.

In the last room a silvered mirror reveals a simple dress.

Waiting to be worn to one last party,
One more dance,
A forgotten dream.

Who Am I?


I will be the river of the dreams around your mind
I will be the essence of all you cannot find

I will be the reason that keeps you warm at night
I will keep you dancing until the dark is bright

I'll hold you close together when all else falls apart
I'll give you strength and loving -
so you may know your heart

Rest easy little dancer
Put your cares away
I'll be right beside you
Some bright and shining day

Know that I do love you
Now and for all time
Close your eyes and see me
in the shadows of your mind

Listen for me closely
I'll not be speaking loud
You'll know me by my answers
Just as you did before

So go about your living
I'll be there before long
Keep your heart believing
And I'll hold you every dawn.
