Nowhere

I,
Running 
From here                                                                 to there
But getting nowhere.

Willingness To Forget

Ready to forget,
burning every memory 
with this swollen wrath; 
if I took it to my grave
unrest would be my sure curse!

Time Lives a Battlefield

Time is a corpse,
Buried in this grave
Time lives a battlefield
Time is patient and 
Heals slowly, but
Time captures all

Arlington

A wreath is laid upon each soldier's grave
Christmas time at Arlington
A tribute to the brave

We Speak To the Dead

I shall live
In this grave
To write this 
Letter to myself
I shall not be move
God is working on me
We speak to the dead

A buried treasure

where once we sat and sunbathed

Lost to a watery grave

Grave-Side Service

weather-beaten sign
driven down in dying weeds
forsaken headstone
oh nameless, forgotten soul
the Savior knows who you are

Walls

when the walls around us close,
we will sit around our meager light
until it burns into the dirt floor
and becomes a memory

Let Me Bleed

You left me
Said you didn't care
Ripped out my heart
Let me bleed
Remove your knife
From my soul
And lay me
In my grave

The bold blood that bleeds 
For glory, sacrifices 
Of esteem for pride

Time Ignites This Flames

Let time
Be your grave
He shall
Catch you
Like a wave
Time ignites
This flame,
Once more
Time greets you,
At this door

Their Clocks

their clocks tick away
I see time is running out
countdown to the grave
time leads me to be alone 
waiting for my clock to stop

Is this heart ready for the grave?
Is it master and am I slave?
So how then should it be?
Should I kill it or let it kill me?
