They say all emotions,live within the heart,degrees of devotionsets each one apart. A heart pumped by anger,rejects a soft touch,relies on an anchoror revolts too much.

I’m driving. A red corvette through a sandy dessert expanse that I’ve never visited before. On my left are jagged copper cliffs. I miss the sharp turn and suddenly my car has flown through the guardrail. For a second, I’m suspended in midair, looking down at the dunes below me. Then I realize that I’m going to crash. I open my eyes, and I’m safe beneath my covers.
I’m speeding recklessly through city streets. I tear through a yellow light without thinking. I can’t seem to slow down my car. I slam on the brakes when I see stopped traffic up ahead, but the car pulls forward even faster. I smash into the back of an old taxicab. I jolt up in my bed.
I’m on a highway surrounded by greenery. Trees and shrubs and open air. All four windows are down. Everything is beautiful. Except for that flat grey wall…

Fly, sweet delicate thing
She looked so soft and kind
Just like Her
Frail yellow shine, she hovered over the clover in between the headstones
Dancing in the summer wind like Nature’s Prima Ballerina
Taunting me with her beauty, regal she was, like Athena
Floating cheerfully and bright, when my heart was black as night
Just what are you so happy about? On THIS day, of all days — today.
No! Fly! Fly away, you sweet delicate thing
You don’t belong here anymore.
You don’t belong here anymore.
You don’t belong here anymore.
***
To this day, when all my hope washes away
I think of you and all the words I wish I could say
My tears begin to flow
My heart like wings, flutters — fast and slow
When unexpectedly, I see
A little yellow butterfly floating by — effortlessly
Flying — I know, just for me.

He keeps fading
I’m watching it happen before my eyes
I wonder if he is silently fading from me too
He keeps so many of his thoughts inside
I’m always the last to know what’s going on
Every morning I see less joy in his eyes
He slogs the day out
pushing himself in a job he hates
for a family who needs him to keep going
He only touches me when he wants sex
there is no romance or pursuit in his eyes
There’s none in mine either
we are both too tired, too familiar
to put in any significant effort
I wonder how long we can continue
I wonder if he’ll leave me one day
Be drawn by the allure of someone more vibrant
who has more energy
who can make him feel more powerful
and bring light into his days
These years are unkind to him
