Fading Key

I'm dancing around
the door to freedom
with fear as my partner -
steadfast, and oh-so-true.
But I think the song is ending,
and I think the key is fading.
So I dance faster, step harder.
and hum the unsung question:
"Are you going to let go?"

Soul Uncertain

There is a vacancy here
Inside this space
Once saved for a certain soul.
Now dusty and distant
From what used to be
The soul was not certain at all.

So now, lost, it wanders -
Remembering its place, forsook.
Where is the I
When the soul has gone?
What meaning has "my"
When the I is lost?
 - Nowhere and None.

Coming Without You

(Old Poem, written 4 Aug 02. Posting here to show someone per request)

I cried last night
After coming
With that man on top of me
And I continued still, to cry
After he got off
I did not know why
Until just now
As I, touching myself,
Trying to come again
Realized
I am desperately trying to feel
You broke my heart
Into a million pieces
And like the first time
This happened
I want you, again, to mend it
To feel again with you
Beneath me or atop
But mostly just beside
That is why I cried
