I gulp for air Suffocating on your emotion I feel your breath on . . .

You wallow in the despair of your choosing,
and sit at death's door, waiting for an invitation;
Life holds no promise for you,
for life has let you down.
You feel no hope, for you see no hope; . . .

Filled with rage,
locked in her cage
of despair,
she seeks freedom
longs to soar without care.
Angels take flight
in the dark night
of dreams;

Ponderings
I sit in quiet contemplation
of my propensity toward desolation
and my penchant for imposing
my insanity on others.
I wonder why
I can't sit stoically
while tilting on my foundation

For reasons known but to themselves, are gone.
We are abandoned to dark hours
In which we find the truth we said we wanted.

promising a soft place to fall
amidst jagged edges,
amidst white frothy . . .

My brow darkened with regret,
My head hung low in misery.
I am humbled before You,
As I recount my endless sins.
I bend on one knee, asking pardon.
