After El
After El,
I spent
Years
Desperately drunk,
Begging heaven
For just
A moment more.
It never came.
But my knock
Will never
Vacate
Heaven’s door.
I spent
Years
Desperately drunk,
Begging heaven
For just
A moment more.
It never came.
But my knock
Will never
Vacate
Heaven’s door.

Moss Pillows in the Field
My pillow is sheeted in moss
Maybe this is where
The sun shines not enough
I sleep here
Guard your memory from growing green
Listen to lullaby engravings
Brush cold stone
Breath alone
Feel your absence
Maybe this is where
The sun shines not enough
I sleep here
Guard your memory from growing green
Listen to lullaby engravings
Brush cold stone
Breath alone
Feel your absence

Janet
I'll never hear her laugh again
Nor see that lovely smile.
I held her hand as she breathed her last.
I cried and cried and cried.
Nor see that lovely smile.
I held her hand as she breathed her last.
I cried and cried and cried.

Aching Awareness
Do you know
How irreplaceable you are?
I do
I’ve known for quite awhile
With a haunting sorrow
That shadows my days with lonely aches
Because you’re gone
and I miss you!
How irreplaceable you are?
I do
I’ve known for quite awhile
With a haunting sorrow
That shadows my days with lonely aches
Because you’re gone
and I miss you!

Suffocated
You were
rare air
in my lungs
I lie
vacant-eyed
as my chest
stills
rare air
in my lungs
I lie
vacant-eyed
as my chest
stills

without you
countless hearts

among them
RIP my friend
you will be eternally missed

Pierce
Like a knife through
The center of an apple
You have pierced
The very core
Of this heart you swore
To cherish and hold
Tell me if you will
Why was your thrust
So devastatingly bold?
The center of an apple
You have pierced
The very core
Of this heart you swore
To cherish and hold
Tell me if you will
Why was your thrust
So devastatingly bold?

all things of joy
sadness
a parade moving so
slow the music can't
be heard
nor the beat measured
by the heart
clowns and all things
of joy rage in
ruin
a parade moving so
slow the music can't
be heard
nor the beat measured
by the heart
clowns and all things
of joy rage in
ruin

Empty Ground
Tears are the silent language or grief. - Voltaire
Insurmountable.
A grief way too collosal.
Drop to empty ground.
Insurmountable.
A grief way too collosal.
Drop to empty ground.

Gloom
A single dragonfly
could spark joyful words
in this glacial gloom,
instead,
flies darken the sun,
the glowing hive
I once called home.
could spark joyful words
in this glacial gloom,
instead,
flies darken the sun,
the glowing hive

Goodbye Isn't Final
No goodbye
Is truly final
For destiny
Hands out favors
Unlike a
Cop who
Passes out
His menacing
tickets
Is truly final
For destiny
Hands out favors
Unlike a
Cop who
Passes out
His menacing

When Hearts Divide
I miss you,
Like the tide misses the moon
I miss you.
My surface does not move,
I am still, stagnant,
yearning for your pull.
Like the tide misses the moon
I miss you.
My surface does not move,
I am still, stagnant,
yearning for your pull.
