Music

Notes tick the time away.
Every two and a half minutes
are marked by the end
and a beginning

My head bobs up and down
to an invisible beat
only audible to my ears.

I find myself
mouthing the words
I dare not sing them aloud
in such a public space.

A smile spreads across my face
and slowly
an hour of waiting
becomes minutes of dreaming
and what once was forever
is simply a moment in time.

Logic or Love

Two halves of me are warring.

One with logic and good intent.

The other with feeling and a heart.

One bends all reality 

in an attempt to prevent

heartache and hurt.

The other speaks from

the tip of the tongue

nothing censured

and without care for possible pain.

One wages battle

against all that I know of you.

The other will never give up

or back down

or cease to care

for you.

One waves a bloody banner

claiming death unto the enemy.

"Kill thine own heart"

They shout.

The other waves a banner of peace

Doves upon a white sheet.

"Love thyself and he"

They call out.

The bloody battle rages on

Each side claiming to be right.

Slowly one half begins to wane.

Its prowess cannot match

The other's beating heart.

One strikes the fatal blow

One side dies a mangled mess.

If the heart beats the logic,

logic might be spared.

But if logic doth prevail,

the heart shall be no more.

Barren

You took my heart
So well I thought I guarded it,
So well I thought I hid it.
But you snuck past my sentinels
Slipped by my sight,
Found A map that led
way beyond the fray.

Never had I thought
That I would see this day.

You had no permission.
You never asked for my heart.
      nor my hand or head.
You just took what you wanted
     not that I could care.
After all you stole my heart.

But did you have to leave me barren?

I just want to say:
Thank you Mom. You are always there for me. You help me more than you could ever realize. I have the most amazing times with you.

I'm on hiatus for an undetermined amount of time. Enjoy my absence.

When everything happens for a reason, what is the reason for you?

I'm in a hating mood.
