Dance Around the Trees

I like how you dance around the trees,
Gently slow down to cause a breeze.
I like how clearer you are under park lights,
Each part of you passing out of sight.
I like the cleansed smell you leave in the air,
Removing the weight I could no longer bare.
I like when you are out, no one is near,
They hide from you 'til skies are clear.   
I like when you brush yourself against my cheek,
Never noticing you're the reason my health is weak. 

The Emotional Cliffhanger

The Emotional Cliffhanger

Spitting out tears the morning after,

Trying not to think of yesterday's disaster.

Thunderstorms reflecting this unwanted anger,

Stained with an emotional cliffhanger.

Rage and anger lighting up the sky,

Sounds hiding an unforgivable cry.

Dangerous and dark skies agreeing with me,

Lightening revealing what I could not see.

Rain cleansing yesterday's sorrow,

Making room for a new tomorrow.

The Dragon's Tail

The Dragon's Tail

He's chasing the tail of the dragon,
While thriving for something he's lacking.
The quest for authenticity,
Becomes the victim of complexity.
Haunted by the idea of his past,
He makes no connection to anything that lasts.
Snapshots of himself all over town,
But never took a second to understand his frown.
She is his anecdote and weekly encounter,
To fill his void he counts on her.
Quick to revolt he is afraid,
His identity is suddenly beginning to fade.
On the unsettling road he drives far too long,
Trying to fit in where he doesn't belong.
Without a thought he is off and parted
Only to find himself right back where he started
