Back to Life

Standing at the

bottom

of the steps

so wide,

feeling the wind

blow around me.

I can sense there's

something

moving quickly now

towards me-

towards the sky.

Take my hand

and please don't let

me go.

You're the only

one I truly know.

You're the reason

that I made

it here alive and

whole.

We've only got

so much time left

to go, so let's go

together.

Your love released me from the stone

It's a journey

we have longed to

make. 

We'll reach the summit

before the morning breaks.

Kiss me and tell

what I need to 

know.

My eyes will

answer all your 

questions

and fill

that hollow

in your soul.

Love Starved

Inside,

she was sinister

her heart a black stone
motivated by
greed and power and fame

but the magazines and
movie screens

hailed her beauty

and her visible bones

as perfection in female form.

Show us your ribs

and every link of your spine

then you'll be the woman

every man will desire

but until we see bones

you will grow older,
forgotten, alone.

No one cares about the

depth of your soul

(or your heart)
We truly do not care
if you're kind, honest, and smart.

You need to be young

and we need to see

bones.
So the little girls
run in the cold of night
starving for love
so often denied because
the message they hear
so loud and so clear:
We Measure Your Worth
By The Bones We See, Dear.
The skeleton girls on the
runway sigh,
once you hit 30 you
might as well die.
(Nothing can tempt me, not even mom's apple pie.)
