The Wish
My heart is for you
When I opened up my eyes
I wish you were mine
When I opened up my eyes
I wish you were mine

Mother Natures Last Walk
Walking in the soft white
With no direction
All I know is my heart is cold
The air freezes with every exhale
Creating intriguing flakes that drift
What have you done?
Some mistakes cannot be repaired
I gave you a home
Nurtured you
Now
I will walk the path to my end
What can a mother do to show her love?
I gave you me
Once the last bloom on the tree of life blooms
Remember how I once was.
Remember the soft summer nights.
When the rose and the orchids perfumed the air
Remember the sweet fruits...
With no direction
All I know is my heart is cold
The air freezes with every exhale
Creating intriguing flakes that drift
What have you done?
Some mistakes cannot be repaired
I gave you a home
Nurtured you
Now
I will walk the path to my end
What can a mother do to show her love?
I gave you me
Once the last bloom on the tree of life blooms
Remember how I once was.
Remember the soft summer nights.
When the rose and the orchids perfumed the air
Remember the sweet fruits...

inconsolable
sadness comes and there is nothing I can do
it swallows me and I am lost in its melancholy
my soul sinks and my thoughts weep
the pain is unbearable
the heaviness of being desolate
unable to focus my energies
with a listless affect, I take inventory
what's wrong inside me?
my weight is always a problem
I weight a little too much
and sugar would make me feel better, for a moment
I'm struggling with a since of loss
thojugh I have lost nothing
fears mount and I dread everything
the sky is grey and I feel...
it swallows me and I am lost in its melancholy
my soul sinks and my thoughts weep
the pain is unbearable
the heaviness of being desolate
unable to focus my energies
with a listless affect, I take inventory
what's wrong inside me?
my weight is always a problem
I weight a little too much
and sugar would make me feel better, for a moment
I'm struggling with a since of loss
thojugh I have lost nothing
fears mount and I dread everything
the sky is grey and I feel...

The Lifespan of Stars
The lifespan of a star
Completely depends on its mass…
I’ve always wanted to be a priority
To be so large in someone’s life
Shine so bright
Their love for me would last forever
————-
I wrapped your adversaries in caution tape
I questioned your thought process
I overstepped my bounds
In the name of insulating you
Keeping you safe and warm
Is a priority to me
You didn’t see it that way
————-
It never occurred to me
To wish
To remain...
Completely depends on its mass…
I’ve always wanted to be a priority
To be so large in someone’s life
Shine so bright
Their love for me would last forever

I wrapped your adversaries in caution tape
I questioned your thought process
I overstepped my bounds

Keeping you safe and warm

it may not always be so; (after ee cummings )
it may not always be so; these stone
walls lining castle ruins, where these
fortresses of our heart seem invincible-
in love, their towering turrets a standard’s
base upon these dusty ramparts-
witnessing architecture wed landscape-
supporting our unyielding faith.
it may not always be so; victors
come and go; wars fought and lost-
as much as they are won; should
another champion capture your heart
as I myself have done, your attention
a profession of new-found love-
then, shall it...

She's gone
It was cold, very very cold.
I went for a walk with misery in one pocket.
In the other, my dead wife's golden locket.
How confused I felt
holding sunlight in one hand
and darkness in the other.
Onwards I walked.
Fists clenched against the truth or the cold or both.
" It will do you good " they said.
But it didn't
for I wished that I was dead.
But I wasn't
I had a life to live instead.
I went for a walk with misery in one pocket.
In the other, my dead wife's golden locket.
How confused I felt
holding sunlight in one hand
and darkness in the other.
Onwards I walked.
Fists clenched against the truth or the cold or both.
" It will do you good " they said.
But it didn't
for I wished that I was dead.
But I wasn't

My Blood Donor
Ticking it wall clock
Right behind your front door knock knock
Dwelling in my misfortunes
A path on which I was trading is filled with these potholes
While I went solo
My self esteem is so low
Am dropping next bus stop
My luck's running out nonstop
Explaining why I was such a flop
God! So pessimistic, I can't bear this hold up
Feeling so high yesterday, it's all Disney in Sydney
Today all of a sudden it turns out a house of terror
Stranded forever in this loop hole
For what am saying is no...
Right behind your front door knock knock
Dwelling in my misfortunes
A path on which I was trading is filled with these potholes
While I went solo
My self esteem is so low
Am dropping next bus stop
My luck's running out nonstop
Explaining why I was such a flop
God! So pessimistic, I can't bear this hold up
Feeling so high yesterday, it's all Disney in Sydney
Today all of a sudden it turns out a house of terror
Stranded forever in this loop hole

YOU pretend to love me
For it's true that no one is sent to you by chance or accident, so why do you pretend to love me, when you only wanted to use me till I'm broken like crystal broken, pieces of shatter glass. Can you be really honest and truthful, with your own feelings and emotions and genuine, thoughts of why do you really pretend to love me only to be leaving in the end. For sure I thought that we had a sacred connection, yet I see that was created by ghostly images like those that echos from the negativity of my past. For what happen to you and me as we dream of a life together, with love and affection and...

Sky
From the deep dark chambers of my heart.
A haunting yet familiar melody does depart.
A somber song of raw sadness.
A melancholy reflection of the madness.
Cornflower blue sky.
Cloud country a mile wide.
A soft cotton gauze of skyward dreams.
For as far as the eyesight will believe.
That sky saved me.
From a now distant melody.
Light streams in those chambers
A survival of hope's embers.
Peace is a soundless force, to soothe
A resurrected heart from
that sky's boundless source.
A haunting yet familiar melody does depart.
A somber song of raw sadness.
A melancholy reflection of the madness.
Cornflower blue sky.
Cloud country a mile wide.
A soft cotton gauze of skyward dreams.
For as far as the eyesight will believe.
That sky saved me.
From a now distant melody.
Light streams in those chambers
A survival of hope's embers.
Peace is a soundless force, to soothe
A resurrected heart from
that sky's boundless source.

Show
(S)miles of fun
It's all a show
Away, the sadness
No one knows
Watching him
You wouldn't guess
Playing the clown
Leaves him anxious
~ distressed

ALIVE BUT EMPTY
REALITY
It's about the same,
hour after hour,
day after day,
the emptiness of
my routine world.
I leave my house empty,
I walk the empty streets
and arrive at my empty office.
My work produces empty
and redundant yes answers.
At lunchtime I sit in
the cafe filled with empty people
stuffing empty calories.
As I walk home I see
a hearse with a body
with an empty future.
At night I gaze at the heavens but
only see the empty space.
BUT
above all I am alive
but EMPTY without
YOU in...
