Estrangement
Suddenly it all explodes.
Years of dynamite left dormant in
a seam of canyon somewhere west of here,
blowing up bundle by bundle until
the whole formation, built on years
as much as rock, collapses into naught.
You gave them a chance to respond,
to bridge the gap the canyon forged.
Silence was their reply,
and so the switch at last was thrown,
reducing that relationship
to rubble in the noonday sun.

Silence was their reply,
and so the switch at last was thrown,
reducing that relationship
to rubble in the noonday sun.

Life Hurts
Tender-hearted child
Dripping sorrow
From big innocent brown eyes
Cries
“I just want to feel happy”
As worries crowd the smile
from his once-laughing cheeks
“Will she…you know?
She meowed so sadly
She was shivering…
I’m scared for her!”
Me, too, my child…me too
But much more scared for you
And your pure tender gentle heart
Beaten often by new sorrows seen
In the world around you
My child, I would fight to keep your fragile heart
From breaking
If only I could
But I can’t ...
Dripping sorrow
From big innocent brown eyes
Cries
“I just want to feel happy”
As worries crowd the smile
from his once-laughing cheeks
“Will she…you know?
She meowed so sadly
She was shivering…
I’m scared for her!”
Me, too, my child…me too
But much more scared for you
And your pure tender gentle heart
Beaten often by new sorrows seen
In the world around you
My child, I would fight to keep your fragile heart
From breaking
If only I could
But I can’t ...

Mother's Love
It is within your eyes that I found hope and love.
I cannot find them anywhere else in this world.
I saw myself through your eyes, a bundle of
Mystery and curiosity. With my head curled
Up against your chest and womb where you
Gave birth to me I finally understand things
I was too closed off to see. I have come to
Know that you would gladly cut your strings
To make me happy. It is because of you I
Do not want to stop fighting or give up.
I wanted to portray you as the “bad guy”
But you were just showing me that the cup
Can both be...
I cannot find them anywhere else in this world.
I saw myself through your eyes, a bundle of
Mystery and curiosity. With my head curled
Up against your chest and womb where you
Gave birth to me I finally understand things
I was too closed off to see. I have come to
Know that you would gladly cut your strings
To make me happy. It is because of you I
Do not want to stop fighting or give up.
I wanted to portray you as the “bad guy”
But you were just showing me that the cup
Can both be...

The Mother He Loved
Born and raised under her wings
Protection and care, has always been
Everything his mother said he believed
Mother encouraged him, she was often pleased
A few times, he would get himself into a jam
She would always solve it, lend him a hand
As he grew older, he had a successful career
Living across the country, he wasn't so near
One day he received a call, it was from his Aunt
He was told to come back home, she began to rant
She told him that his mother is hospitalized and she's very sick
He took the next flight out, losing his job was a...
