SCORPIO  FALLING
Deja Vous Deaux

Aim to make me cry
Make me want
Wonder why
My hair shirt
My heart ache
Karmic lesson
Soul’s fate

Ruin me, save me, why
Make me beg
Want to try
My denying
My heart break
Mixed blessing
Soul’s gate

Haunt me til I die
Make me yearn
Not comply
My awakening
My heart sake
True confession
Soul’s mate
Elliptical

o
ne thousand miles
an hour goes
to you and
back to you
spinning my wheels
i turn inside
out for you
one thousand miles an hour
a billion souls on the planet
mine to yours glued
you’re unstuck, oblivious
one thousand miles
an hour goes
spinning infinity
too soon lonely
too long forgotten
too fast remembered
too late
Scorpio Man

So deep
Hold me down
No small feat
Fire’s hard to drown

Scorpion male
Venom in my blood
Obsession stings
Toxic love

Click of a mouse
Single deliver “e-“
Set memories loose
Turn the rusted key

Tattoo on my soul
Dormant invader
Seduce from afar
Even now

Deserved me less
I wanted more
Scorpio man
Despised, adored

My hair shirt
Silken gown
Raised me up
Broke me down

Scorpio man
Why stay shallow
Submerge
Oblivious shadow

Scorpio man
Comes around
Dive so deep
Can’t be found
LOVE
Doesn’t care if it’s not returned
Or if it hurts the one it burns
LOVE
Will not be denied its desire
Will burn its host with its fire
LOVE
Is not kind or mean, it only needs
Is not selective of who or how it feeds
LOVE
Does not die, it ebbs and flows

Its captive host has no control
Your Call

Thought you’d call
You never did
Bittersweet joy, mine, alone
That summer
After shutting the door
To my heart and hopes
Still you clung
Like cotton candy
Wrapped around my heart
Sweet longing, dissolving
Held a memory of you
As it grew
Thought you’d feel it, too
Thought I’d hear from you

Autumn turned golden
I was aglow
Cherishing life
Oh so sure the phone would ring
To hear your voice
To share our news
November turned cold
Dark, gray
Working two jobs
Too many bills to pay
Our future to plan
So much to dream, to do
Oh, God, please let me hear from you

Green driver raged red
Abyss  black
Stark light, antiseptic scent
Cool blue sans pink
He was beautiful. Perfect. My heart.
Baby-powder blue blanket empty
Anguish echoes into dead silence
Reality and dreams twist and turn
The scream was mine
Nothing else to claim
He didn’t suffer… oh?
Neither did you
Motherless child
Childless mother
What a fool
Thought you’d call
You never did
Forgetfulness & Dreams

Can’t remember when I quit aching
Years after the odd good-bye
Now and again I dream of you
Often making love with you
Upon waking I’ve wept with longing
Sighed with reservation, exasperation
Smothered all recollection
Sand slides through chipped glass
Wheel grinds
Gray hair replaces golden
Laugh lines, frown lines
Wisdom of discovering
Knowing nothing
Foolishness stays
Dreams and fantasies and wants and desires and
Wondering
