POEMS FOR RECOVERY: THE ANNIVERSARY OF YOUR LEAVING

THE ANNIVERSARY OF YOUR LEAVING I am angry - angry that you are not here, angry that you ever were. I am lonely - lonely like I was before we met, lonely like I wonder if you are. When you look in the mirror, do you see my face, do you see the tears that flowed from the eyes that watched you go?... Sign in to see full entry.

POEMS FOR RECOVERY: HYAKUTAKE PASSING

HYAKUTAKE PASSING I see it dimly, bright behind the masking veil of high clouds and city glow, drifting casually by our planet at one hundred and thirty thousand miles an hour: Comet Hyakutake passing Ursa Major in the night, while I, hands cut and stinging from the sawgrass, prepare to enter the...

POEMS FOR RECOVERY: THE MANNEQUIN IN THE BRIDAL SHOP WINDOW

THE MANNEQUIN IN THE BRIDAL SHOP WINDOW We walk, you and I, as if alone, though not. Your smiles and laughter, the sweetness of your voice, the snowflakes gathered on your dark hair, are wonderful mysteries to me, so wonderful that they obscure all around me except the magic, the mystery of this one...

POEMS FOR THE RECOVERING: WHEN WE WERE PERFECT

WHEN WE WERE PERFECT Reflections on a Divorce I. When we were perfect - Was it that long ago that we shared touches and smiles that told each other how perfect we were for one another? That we shared perfect trust, intimacy, happiness? Perfect dreams, perfect hope? Was it that long ago then that the... Sign in to see full entry.

POEMS FOR THE RECOVERING: AFFIRMATION

AFFIRMATION Though this inner void remains a void, Though the doubts are waves eroding my shore of confidence, Though the depression is a fog enshrouding my soul, This will not defeat me, This will not destroy me. Over this I will emerge triumphant. Though the loneliness cries in the empty nights,... Sign in to see full entry.

POEMS FOR THE RECOVERING: MINING GANYMEDE

MINING GANYMEDE It is cold on my private Ganymede, Shadowland of light and dark where I still mine the paradoxes for the gold That I will refine in the smelters of my grief. The soil is rich on my Ganymede; Though only roots of bitterness will grow there I still sow seeds of hope, praying against... Sign in to see full entry.

POEMS FOR THE RECOVERING: CRAZYMAKERS

CRAZYMAKERS The Crazymakers come gibbering obscenely, escaping the fearpit when I have neglected the faith that locks the door. With the fearpit door locked I can confront the fear where the Crazymakers live, denying them their power to torment me. But if I forget the God Who protects me, Who... Sign in to see full entry.

POETRY FOR THE RECOVERING: WHAT FOR?

WHAT FOR? From the deserts to the forests, I have searched for you, my love; From the mountains to the seas, From lonely depths to skies above. When I found you I was so happy, You were my hopes, my dreams, my life, Until the day our love was slain And my happiness became a lie. I gave myself to... Sign in to see full entry.

POETRY FOR THE RECOVERING: BURNOUT

BURNOUT I burned out on love loved loving together joy smashed into shards of agony used rejected discarded like waste. I burned out on trust taking word believing promises exposed emptier than my hollow hate. I burned out on tomorrow naked before hopeful sunrise scorching my soul leaving me...

POEMS FOR THE RECOVERING: AT THE CRACKING OF MY DAWN

AT THE CRACKING OF MY DAWN Deep within the place of things that have never been, far out in the space where tortured dreams are sent, I float across the night, screaming at the Sun, fires burn so bright, never kindled, never done; punching through the glaring black, struggling against the tide,...
