Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

It is, yes

You threw your cards on the table

Swore Yea, I’m real

Only real people ever say that so I know it to be true

 

Real and true

until it wasn’t

 

Can i whisper the quiet truths here, since i know your reading attention is elsewhere and not on me now?

 

I liked your darkness,

recognized it,

                  it did not scare me,

                                  mad...

whisper answers

Who was the one

                who declared

i won't hold you to nothing you say? No I never said that nor do I believe it

What I beleive

is if you took the trouble to say it, or write it,  or whisper it, or sing it or disguise it                                                   and I hear you

            I hold you, for my thought is to thank you later for these kind gifts so i ho...

Tale Me

Tells you will tale me

I waited and waited, all my precious time I don't wait 

You left me bitterly one winter night

I never hurt like that before.
Left only with your crime stealthing for my company before I knew you hadn't

Before I knew what's lost in the dark might not be alone

A lyric I hid for him & he heard me, he heard as a sharp call in the fall

he's been answering me in...

intent

Life is lived moving forward

but we only understand looking back

If I looked back from the future, I know what I'd see: your love surrounding me with a fierce light of protection

a soft blanket of gentle cushioning balance of support and admiration

It held me up in my darkening despair and led me through

to the other side, where I made it

 

It does me no good

to deny the br...

Hills

A week now I've been exploring your land, these sacred lands

The place where you grew and discovered What you loved, how this art raised you 

so beautiful here                                                                        

           I wanna climb every hill and ask every question of you.

See you everywhere though you love elsewhere thousands of miles away and actually you are...

Only Wolves

My life is filled with love now, bright lights, even without all that snow

Not a romantic scent, but love nonetheless, 

I walk by the ocean,

       Consider, contemplate why I was sent for,

because I have arrived,

                            and I am fully here.

I thought I was following my heart, but that path veered sharply, suddenly          towards a staggering terrifying dea...

Unseen Ice

Are you clearing your good name?

Blowing up all the ammo before setting fire to the barracks as planned?

 

Who is it that needs to know

Which song

Originated years back?

Me? Him? Her? You? 

Who

Of course i knew

I knew already i heard them before i heard all of them

But sure seems bits got tweaked here and over there,

As you might do to cull your former recent roman...

Wildness

Unearthing a secret:

How to retain such sweetness

                                            while letting go

love of love of you without the hope of you

You found me but I was not lost, oh how my heart and I liked each other then

lovers come and nonlovers go

           belting melodies that never let me be

Seems unfair and also equisite, both at once

 

So many words fo...

A New Roof

Know you

Any benefits to this bewildering, barbed stumble through this dark forest into which you have brought me?

Confusing cutting beautiful song after song, always sounds the distance

                                                                                                 In a tiny flickering glimpse of thickening light

Leading me through the aftermath

I follow and follow...

counting

I can't count on yours

     you said i could but i can't

you don't stand by any kind of truth

       much less my shamelessly abandoned ones

Time brags how she moves you; oh how she brags and mocks your bravado

 

You said

     you won't hurt me no more

      you won't hurt me no more

       you won't hurt me no more

Well at least

         you won't hurt me no more
