Loss
Humming birds flitter
desolate garden spaces
hovering
hungry
barren, dull places
Grand orchestra assembled
vacant music hall
inspiration
unheard
muted chords fall
Evening stars dimmed
forming dark cloud
fading
smothered
not shimmering proud
Mournful child cries
tragic maternal death
grieving
struggling
never catching breath

"Aspects of Umbral Wandering"
Silent shades wander
Endless fields of dusk
Lingering
Fading
Eternal in their husk
Angels weep softly
Wings brush the void
Watching
Waiting
In a silence destroyed
Vast skies stretch wide
Swallowed by night
Empty
Cold
Gone from mortal sight
Death whispers close
Its breath like wind
Unseen
Ancient
Where all things rescind
Silent shades wander
Endless fields of dusk
Lingering
Fading
Eternal in their husk
Angels weep softly
Wings brush the void
Watching
Waiting
In a silence destroyed
Vast skies stretch wide
Swallowed by night
Empty
Cold
Gone from mortal sight
Death whispers close
Its breath like wind
Unseen
Ancient
Where all things rescind
A tincture of bold
Silvering the cloth
That wicks out the cold
Garish
Audacious
A tincture of bold
A jilted society
The buyers of scold
Incompliant
Unruly
Emboldened in gold
Subtle voice of manipulation
A thief in the fold
Heedless
Regardless
And hard to unfold
Salty quips of a lover
lascivious, sixfold
Lustful
Salacious
A wanton enfold
That wicks out the cold
Garish
Audacious
A tincture of bold
A jilted society
The buyers of scold
Incompliant
Unruly
Emboldened in gold
Subtle voice of manipulation
A thief in the fold
Heedless
Regardless
And hard to unfold
Salty quips of a lover
lascivious, sixfold
Lustful
Salacious
A wanton enfold

She’s Gone
Waking to another day,
still seeing you not here.
Pain feels my heart,
in this never ending sadness.
You lay there lifeless
breath left and gone away from me.
I cry consistently in this dark place,
nothing to live for, my heart misplaced.
Taken from this whole heart,
broken now, shattered on this
cracked ground forever wounded.
Why God did you take my love?
Never will I ever know,
just lay here lifeless inside
lonely, hurt, torn, cause she’s gone.

I want you to be
my always, forever
not like in the photograph that doesn't exist
not like signing a card
just and simply mine
forever my always
not like remembering a photograph that doesn't exist
I want you to be, like this, always, for me, forever
like the sepia that replaces the blues
without a shadow of a doubt
like the scream bouncing off every wall
scandalously silent
I want you to be
my always, forever
my always, forever
not like in the photograph that doesn't exist
not like signing a card
just and simply mine
forever my always
not like remembering a photograph that doesn't exist
I want you to be, like this, always, for me, forever
like the sepia that replaces the blues
without a shadow of a doubt
like the scream bouncing off every wall
scandalously silent
I want you to be
my always, forever

Yarn Unraveled
Threads
Wrapped up and sewn together
Protecting what seems like forever
A life that almost has never
Seen the storms that I've weathered
Sheep
Can't pull the wool over my eyes
I am the one whom I despise
Filled with regret and so many lies
Living my life in this disguise
Puppets
Pulled by strings controlling me
False belief in my reality
Created by the imaginary
Unlimited by my mortality
Chaos
As I watch my mind uncrack
My emotional void empty and black
Unwound by desperations attack
Of my life I'll never get back
Wrapped up and sewn together
Protecting what seems like forever
A life that almost has never
Seen the storms that I've weathered
Sheep
Can't pull the wool over my eyes
I am the one whom I despise
Filled with regret and so many lies
Living my life in this disguise
Puppets
Pulled by strings controlling me
False belief in my reality
Created by the imaginary
Unlimited by my mortality
Chaos
As I watch my mind uncrack
My emotional void empty and black
Unwound by desperations attack
Of my life I'll never get back
