lost highway


along a sculpted river
out past hell and ruin
fixed and worn and empty
it only goes away ---

need not be consciously sought to be found
might reach an exit but cant turn around

a bad sense of direction
a sad lack of instruction
a wrong turn at decision
and there it is ---

toward a distant never
beyond hope and reason...

ache


a deep bruise echoes
senseless and determined
often by design

a mirage ails me ---
out of reach and imaginary

to look in her eyes
to be in her sighs
to slake this thirst
for someone ---
to see no further than i

and i would look away
wrench free the dart
and concede the futility
but who rules the heart ---

this was for KIM, the one i let get away. twice. and i will never forgive myself for failing her.

wound


among the scars lies one which tends to ache so fitfully
say - when i lapse - and impale - my heart on a memory

imbedded fragments of regret
chafe what i cant quite forget

the peak by which ive since measured my life...

this one was written for AMY. i showed it to my mom, and she started crying.

why you

why me - she whispered
( because she doesnt see )
and what else could i say ---

if you only knew - why you

how can i tell you ---
how many a time i have pushed this away
how still it returns as the night...
