Me and the Bicycle
The bicycle doesn’t know it is broken
Its spokes twisted in every direction
Rearranged haphazardly
Like my world
Turned upside down
Hitting the cold pavement
Life continues though I am still
Nights are cold and days are long
His kiss is still felt though he left with hardly a word
And I am abandoned
Like a broken bicycle
My life a mess of malfunctioning parts
I refuse to confine it to a junkyard
It has worth if only to me
If it only knew

A Broken Staircase
My dreams all lie
On a broken staircase
Painted with faded hopes
And unkept promises
Leading nowhere

Elation
You are a lover and a friend
A song stuck in my head
A late spring rite
A warm summer night
An angel untamed
A kiss in the rain
When I am broken and lost
You keep me whole
Despite the cost
When I’ve done wrong
I find elation in your song
Each note plays forgiveness
A salvation offering
For my sinfulness
