Poetry - "You Shared Yourself"

You Shared Yourself

you shared yourself with me
kissing me
as though you were born to
your body wrapped around me
i was home
but even from inside
i could not touch your heart
if only i knew your soul
the way i knew your body
i could’ve seen you belonged
both heart and soul
to another
and to him you went
leaving me here

Poetry - "Pilgrimage"

Pilgrimage

early morning highway ride
alone in the darkness
the pilgrimage of thanksgiving

southern black night turns blue
through speakers, a man and a guitar 
weep in time and tune

soulful sorrow touch me
now i'm not alone

enjoying the journey
to the banquet of dysfunctional joy

where i shall look you in the eye

as we pray
and we eat
and we cry
