Notice Me

Your eyes meet mine,
a brief second we share,
yet it feels like eternity.
Then in the split second it began it is over,
reality overwhelms my senses.
Frustration at the world for interrupting resonates through my very being.
***
Head rested ever so gently on the table you pose,
replaying the moment we shared I hope.
However you seem completely oblivious the rest of the day,
as I watch you ceaselessly,
moving my head into positions uncomfortable but satisfactory,
just to get a glimpse of you.
***
Look at me,
Talk to me,
Laugh with me,
Notice me!

  • Awaiting An Invitation

    Tree limbs dance in
    the breeze of baited breath,
    roots threaten to break ground zero.
    time;
    too much
    too little
    only the trees understand 
    me

    glass stregthens
    mirrors melt
    clouds converge and darkness reigns

    Sentenced

    I am guilty

    The bars which restrain me
    are but my own fault

    I am guilty

    The lifeless walls
    frozen, unfeeling
    yield no give as I fight to break free

    My crimes:
    To want,
    the stars

    Only A Memory

    The wind
    brushes my cheek, with a kiss. 
    Neck craned, my eyes
    skim the sky in bliss

    The scene before me,
    a canvas to interpret,
    I stare, deep within the soul of each star
    this game I refuse to forfeit.
