Unreal ~ SM
I dream of being with you Of meeting you at the point where hills heel and mountain tops touch the snow I dream of waking next to you At the hour past last light and the second between the sun’s rise and its highest crest I dream of dancing with you Under stars lit with … Continue reading Unreal ~ SM
She Calls Me Mama ~ SM
I board the shutters and hiss at the cold winds that taunt the night air On hands and knees I check for threats of nightmares living under bed springs I kiss warm cheeks and wish sweet sleeps even as my ghosts surround me waist deep The dawn's light races with my consciousness and records its … Continue reading She Calls Me Mama ~ SM
She ~ SM
She is she She is he She is the bough that catches a cradle rocked Arms splayed and reaching, breaking falls from the highest mountain tops She is the bridge over the Thames though never falling Connecting, forgiving, carving paths over troubled waters from winter to spring She is she She is he She is … Continue reading She ~ SM

This Thing ~SM~
This thing,
