(Jewels of the Sun -}
{2003-09-05} {11:24 a.m.}

I have no words today but only this:

I accelerate my dreams
At a malfunctioning speed
Of wanting, as time roams
Across the bleeding scars of my heart
Finger painted scenes
Done by crayon
I never did learn to march "in step"
I never found my niche in life
Through the wind and rain,
Blunders and absurdities
Those crescents of clay
Under unkempt dreams
Working from dawn until dusk
Wondering who in the world I am
Trying to discover the secrets of the stars
Standing alone under the Missouri moon
The only ability I have
Is to look at a blank page, and create a poem
This only makes me cry harder
Because I am frustrated by the reality
Of the metaphor blown up, enlarged and unreachable
Reality sets in and threatens to reveal
Illusions of my fantasy world

When she looks in the mirror
She doesn't see what you see
This person I thought I knew so well
Does not exist
This face of someone I do not recognize
My stomach hurts
I feel dizzy a neaseous
I'm so tired I can hardly stand
She needs to be told many times over
She is special, unique
And loved by all
But on the other hand the voices shout
You don't deserve their love
Not even a little bit, not at all
The treacherous pain that washes my senses
The screams all around me
Are faint in my ears

Minutes like hours pass
I plead and pray
I'll never touch it again
Just let me live one more day

Tears stain my memories as I reflect
My name in the sand will never last
Of all the words
Of tongue or closure
The saddest are those...
What might have been?
Remnant shards of the past
Come alive and awaken things inside
Those pieces of life
That was meant to be forever lost
Looking up to the sky with my secrets
And unpromising smile
I realize I can't fool you any longer
By the memories that continue to burn
Behind the Jewels of the Sun
