Waiting Room

I sit waiting
Time can drag you
Pull you along bloody
Into infinity
The clock beats in time to my heart
Can I make it March?
Moments can be counted
They are sitting in a tidy pile
Something is missing
Days are dealt in hands
Whose hands?
Dealers come and go
Luck of the draw turns a flush, a full house
My house is empty
Can I have a page, a book?
The writing is blank
All cards are wild
As I sit waiting

Change

I saw you today
Walking across the square
And when you looked at me
Your eyes weren't really there
I started to walk toward you
I started to go and stopped
You saw me and you turned around
My heart found fear and dropped
The weather had been bright
Sun shining, clear, serene
Out of nowhere clouds began to roll
Painting a dismal scene
Now I turn, I run from you
My panic, fear and pain
Have caught me deep with in my soul
As teardrops turn rain

I Refuse To Fall in Love

I refuse to fall in love
Lest our muse align
Our stars line up
And our voices join in song

I refuse to fall in love
Till the end of eternity
Till the sun stops burning
And my heart stops beating

So until I find my perfection
Until the stars align
Unless I find my soulmate
I will only be MINE!

Hope, Belonging, Rescue: Three Poems

Hope

Help me love find

The heart that you stole

So I might live

To love

So tenderly

You

And only you

When the wind

Becomes the sea

Shall I have never

Belong to thee

Belonging

The whispers of the day

The coming of the dawn

The hope and the feeling

Knowing you belong

To one who loves you

Night and day

Forever and Tomorrow

Till day goes away

And never comes home

Till Janes and Johns

Will never have known

I love you forever

Forgetting nothing but you

Rescue

Gone through a window

Around the block

Better luck next time

Ever shall my love be

Re murmured through the night

Instead of being with you

Even as I write

Love holds me bound

From screaming out in fright

Hopeless lost

In the love of my dream

Until you come and claim me

From this restless unending dream

Back through the window

Erasing all thoughts

Loving forever

But still the night haunts

Me as I sit, alone and waits

What could I have made you

Run off like the wind?

Oh well, until the dawn my love

I shall close my eyes

And dream of the rescue

Until my name

Becomes your

Forever
