I am strong
Within my flesh
Heals the wrong
Inside my chest
Beats my song
Upon my hands
My want is done
Behind my eyes
My true love calms
All are bruised
When one is wronged
All have proved
I am strong
A.R.M.

Suicide is mean
What suicide produces.
Is a special kind of pain.
Added to the losses.
Is rejection inhumane.
The largest betrayal.
Because you never doubted.
Believing the portrayal.
Your truth is now clouded.
It forfeits all the reason.
This alone is torture.
A painful kind of treason.
From taking, out of order.
You'll never understand.
Though you try to see.
Hurt runs every moment again.
A show how suicide is mean.
A pain transferred.
Then left alone to cope.
Forever unanswered.

Dinner with the devil
The devil came, to dinner one night.
He was a man, all dressed in white.
Light in manner, confessed a sinner.
Proved good manners, all through dinner.
Soon the devil, showed up often.
So thought that, I could help him.
He seemed to share, my every thought.
He filled up all, the empty spots.
To look the devil straight, you see.
A man that's vulnerable, I his need.
And since my thoughts, are always good.
I'd protect him, as I should.
Then the day, he showed late.
Dinner cold, made...

Where way way down
Way way down low.
Where the broken go.
Weight keeps still and whole.
While it heals the soul.
The soul my soul
And your's.
The fragile strangled strength.
Absent light. Void ego.
Right in the front.
Maddened drove to hunt.
Pouring down a torrent.
Solutions rain repellent.
This is not a sting.
This is pain.
This is not a thief.
This, I let this in.
Paralysis so warm.
Blackness pitch control.
Way way down I go.
Grant consent a mended soul.
Dreaming to...
Where the broken go.
Weight keeps still and whole.

Un- cruel Follow through
The depth at which I loved you.
Separation can not break.
And never could I be so cruel.
As to call you a mistake.
But then that's always been.
The distance between me and you.
Your love ends.
And my love follows through.
And still I'm not that cruel.
I just love me, more than you.
So I followed through.
The stranger I love is you.

Overwhelming gratitude
Gratitude to overwhelm.
So full as though to burst.
Swallow tears with every breath.
Silences any words.
How can I express?
When I can't stabilize.
With this in my chest.
Proves to paralyze.
There seems nothing I can do.
But a heartfelt ‘Thank You’.
Expressions of gratitude.
Sometimes just elude.

The End
Some day,
I'll forget how well you loved me.
I've forgotten so much already.
I'll lose the things I keep.
So, will end our story.

One less mile
So she lived.
A life of quiet.
So long survived.
Turned her defiant.
With the silence.
Came the breath.
Then reliance.
Helped her forget.
Replaced defiance.
With a smile.
Behind her now.
One less mile.

Morning poem for Dawson
The hardest day. I once remember.
Marked by pain. Each September.
Each year wept. Returned the same.
Then in fate stepped. And all that changed.
In Spokane. Born a light.
My brother's hand. Held him tight.
With each breath. The world grew bright.
Bestowed the wealth. That loss denied.
For 20 years. Brought joys salvation.
September tears. Now celebration.
Now the world. Is full of clouds.
Our light returned. To heaven now.
Now, when I see. A ray shine through.
Kisses my face. I...

Golde rule
Love observes.
The rule of Golden.
Freely bestowed or,
Hoarded like wealth.
The truest, True Love,
It is Beholden.
Obliged only to those,
Who love Themselves.

Respite
Lost, now wakes, her hidden calm.
Her trust rests easy here.
Strangers sing, a foreign psalm.
Cleansed, the filth named fear.
