Secret Tears


forbidden love happened
then passed away
without anyone knowing
sat under the moon
and wept
tears released
in the shower
behind closed doors
when everyone else slept
still no one knows
my heart was broken
that midsummer night
secrets whispered
to the stars
tears shared
with the moon

Battle In The Heavenly’s

Over my head a battle raged
between currents of hot and cold air.
Television warned us to take cover,
I did for a moment or two,
but couldn’t resist,
wanting to catch a glimpse
of the rolling clouds overhead.
In Minnesota cold air often wins
the battle, but the threat loomed.

Thoughts of your battle passed
through my mind as I listened
to the rumble,
pondered revelations you shared.
Sometimes I wonder if I was
Aphrodite kissed the day I was born.
The storm rumbles in my spirit
upon discovering your feelings.
I’m left wondering which current won
the battle,
your heart or your mind.

BLUE MIST

Blue Mist
Missing image
Swept away
in the blue mist
of my dreams.
Where nothing exists
but bliss and you.
No walls seperate us.
The moon is touchable,
and everyone has wings.
When I call your name
you’re there.
