First Snow
I’m disappointed and surprised
you turned the block and hit my eyes
ugh, the first snow in New York
it’s barely fall and now I’m cold
I wanted you gone so I wouldn’t fold
through the panic I bundle up
I’ve got to focus or we’ll be stuck
I can’t believe it’s fucking you
gliding towards me heart beats steadily
dangling hair, your own kind of weaponry
if you come any closer
soon we’ll ...

I Am Not Free
I am not free
but tense and unwavering
I am not heard
but roused and spoken for
I am not seen
but misguided and reassured
I am not understood
but manipulated and suppressed
I am not felt
but raped and ashamed
I am not yours
but degraded and sold
I am not inanimate
but painted and wound up
I am not free, how could I ev...

Too Close
I hate pretending
a way of fending
off others mending
from themselves
another good thing
lost like a shoe string
problems I do bring
lack purpose
show yourself to me
paint it heavenly
it ends tragically
I’m confused
because you were here
I filled you with fear
now you’ve disappeared
it’s my fault
I live with a space
like a buffer place
beca...

Going, going but not gone
I think it’s finally my time
I’m fading to the back of the line
there’s not much left inside my mind
just sit still and watch me go
As far as I can’t think
I’m damaged, my kinks
try to fix them, I won’t stop you
do what you want, I’m lost without you
I thought you’d make me feel better
now I ache and it’s not the weather
you said that feeling was beneficia...

Stars Cross
do we subsist together
I feel so far away
born between sowed leaves
my own land and sea
different enough to feel lost
similar enough to connect
individuals so complex
experience, goals, struggles
crystal clear and opaque bubbles
it seems impossible
how we manage
simultaneously in tandem
when in orbit, will we meet
you see me and I, you
I touch you and yo...

Me Not Me
Me, where is she
squeeze my skin, the flesh
it’s not me
I love me
the love I have lives deep
it’s far, so far beneath my cheeks
I wish I could hug me
to make myself believe
that with a finger touch it’s me
so then I’d see
that I am not this temporary body
and what I am is free
but Earth demands an anchor, you see
unfortunately for me
because it becomes all...

Missing Soul
I come to at half past three
in the middle of the night
and these images won't erase
I'm haunted by the tape
once it is light
your hands disappear
my brain is mine
and my limbs come crawling back
but the tape keeps playing
I know there's no escape
because night always falls
then I fall into you
and my mind leaves me
with no thoughts left to think
I make my way
the void is frictionle...

In remembrance
All that I can do
Is sit slack jawed
And picture you,
A vision of kindness
Nurturing us with
Clay soaked hands
I lost a constant reference,
A personification of grace
When I lost you
Now a hazy memory
I can only
Strive to complete and become
From clouded dreams
Of watching you be.

Two Separated Stars
Two Separated Stars
- Reinmari
Sunlight clasps the earth
Moonbeams kiss the sea
I've watched as the sun kills itself
To let the moon breathe
I've always known the story
Of mountain, river and ocean.
Mountains mingle with the river
And rivers with the ocean
But as long as..
Pale stars still shine above
Falling leaves are still dancing
Cupid and Psyche are still inlove
Los...

Incompetent
{Incompetent?}
It’s not funny when
someone says you are
incompetent making
you feel useless and
pathetic because of a
massive debilitating
illness and disease
making that person
weak and infirm like
they shouldn’t even be
in existence in this evil
corrupted world

Once
{Once}
Once I held his love
and affections so
deeply embedded
into my heart so it
would never apart
Until the day my brown
eyed rough tough with
the heart of perfection
left my side when an
horrible accident
happened that's when
my heart was ripped
straight out of my chest
leaving a gaping hole
there where his love
once remained at

When You've Took Away All My Will Power
{When You've Took Away All My Will Power}
When you've took away
all of my will power as a
human being and as a
woman as well I have
lost my dignity I feel
ashamed of myself
constantly I feel like that
I have to hide my real
self and I have to hide
my face and my body
from everyone because
I might not meet their
standards and that you
migh...

I'll Bet You'll Start Loving Me?
{I'll Bet You'll Start Loving Me?}
One day I'll bet you'll
start loving me when I
start loving someone
else which isn't you
But you had that
chance but you chose
someone else to love
besides me
One day I'll bet you'll
start loving me when
you see I am better
without you
But you chose her
and not me

He Plays Cat And Mouse Games
(He Plays Cat And Mouse Games)
As he chases me and many
more women because
he likes to play
little cat and mouse game's with me
but I am tired of running away
from him and now
you have all the other women that you are chasing
Because I am gone
And we will not
have no more
playing cat and
mouse game's
for me...
