The Women, that I've drawn
Into my maelstrom
A charming boyish smile
Bedroom eyes
The Children
I've made with them
Pieces of my heart
The tears that flow
When I let them down
Like a River
The weakness that's hidden
'Neath this leonine facade
The Herculean task
Now
To repair it all
It's frightening

The dance we dance..all instrumental to who we are and who we bring forth. Sometimes..we just have to sit a number out. Your honesty in this is fresh heartspeak..more!

our children
as they move through life
often unaware
taking a bit of our hearts
with them every where
back to places we've been
or wouldn't go
