bunnies

i always felt
helpless

lying in a gurney

rolling to the
who-knows-where

i always felt
younger

than all my years

staring at the 
ceiling up there

radiology
was a theatre

spotlighting my
insides

for all to see and hear

part of a cure

that i wasn't sure of

but i didn't have
the heart
to fear

nor the brains
to figure out

what was left of my future.....

(bunnies)

searching

was sure
i knew
who i thought you were

was glad
i met
who i could see

was happy
i loved
who i thought i felt

now what's
the matter
with me?

(soul)

end of your reign

at first
you brought me
colour

and i burst into flame

rising and reaching
at the sound of
your name

but then
you gave me
shadow

and i hid with shame

turning and twisting
at the point of
your pain

and now
you left me
sorrow

and i live in rain

waving and weeping
at the end of
your reign

never to be 
the same

(again)

bonds

eyes that meet in sky
after seeing whale up high
have the strongest bond

in your way

got in your way
one too many times

even at the end
i was clutching at
straws

looking up into
troubled eyes
holding steady
with my own

trying to stay calm 

you turned your heart
from my questions

answering me
with a vagueness
i couldn't understand

until you broke away

step over step
you ran away
from me

as sudden as a
slap across the
face

and, in the silence
i nodded
as if to say

i knew it would
end this way

and as quickly as
my heart had started

that fateful day
i met you

it stopped
without any
resolution

it hasn't started
since

(done)

pursuit

we're always
in pursuit

of the heart that
feeds us

always thinking

that love will
complete us

always in need

of the something 
unknown

always feeling

that we've grown 

into what?

who knows....

but it's more
of an adventure than
real life

right?

(sigh)

stairs away

you went
to a place
i could not follow

and with
each step
i shook

i felt myself
growing smaller
and smaller

you left
without
a look

you always 
gave more
than you took

(go)
