Behind the facade
I gave up on everything, I gave up on everyone. I know this is a heaven, but I just don't think it was meant for me. If you knew me you would judge me for all those mistakes So like the rest of us I carry this smile on my face and act like everything is alright...

Halcyon Fall
Through the beige isle, veins of green holler aloud Lush foliages of maple, yet I pick upon a rosebud Mists of sentiment brabble, springing whistles of reminiscing From the floor, they call out to me, unrelenting I kept at it, pacing across the vast meadow Lights begin to dim, even so, I shall escape under the nightly glow Along the paths,...

Think Love When You Think God
He knows our every thought and he truly cares. Our Creator and God love us and he is there! He never forces himself upon me or you. He gave us freewill and allows us to choose. Sure he could force us all to do things his way. But then were just robots, doing whatever He say. Think about a parent, programming...

The death of a son
What if I can't continue, evolving into this mystery? What if the story dies with me grabbing and pulling at the hands of reality, what then? Do the stars continue to plot their courses in an ocean of black? or do they just fade away? Will the universe drift mournfully acknowledging the loss of a sun? Do at last the heavens...

***
After sinking into oblivion Only the fractured soul Knows your sorrows Your feeble hopes Your fervent battles When stepping outside yourself You see a world so big When alone Everything is so small Covered with a thick slice of darkness In this inner chaos You owe nothing but yourself That once belonged To his anxious dream Now, a precious memory That belongs only to you Engulfing the...

The greatest of gifts
Sat alone again, sipping a few The old whiskey jar It's as empty as you Now you're gone I can see All that you did Just one more day To be your friend They say to live Each day as your last The reality is We're all tied to a mast Don't dream away These ideas that you have Because the moment is now Just remember...

from her back garden at far distance she can see, across the meadows, sun setting into the sea, her memories race to times to what it had been, they walk along the bay, hands clutching love between, golden evening skies with breeze that would come to please, alone in her late years, they now come, come to tease. ...

Those endlessly dark COVID unit days Once lead my emotions and mental state astray Finally finding solace in online games For some crumbs of joy from day to day It was there I met a brand new friend Who got me through till winters end His words, thoughts and intentions were true His music and...

I remember the land and its people, and I am concerned about the limitations of their mentality. I remember the dead and how the trees outlast them. I hear the language of the trees—the whispering sound of freedom and the resilience of human life, supported by the generosity of a mature land. The wasteland we leave...

LIFE
LIFE Youth gives us sparkle and energy, we are invincible, strong with memory. Life’s chapters open and close, some long, some brief or quick dose. The episodes get grayer as we cruise through junctions, while continuing with purpose. Life is a voyage, full of bumps, tears, laughs and memories Our world can change in the blink of an eye. Forks in...

Soft blue wind blows cottony clouds In them I look for beloved’s face Love never dies but bodies transition Energy from one place to the unknown Never can say goodbye Cherish the memories and laughter Even when the silence is so loud...

Carol
Upon the eve of dying she could not speak. And all her opened tear ducts Sprang awake And flooded forth from The founts of creation A new sea. Oh, yes! She cried a sea of tears Because her words Had passed the door of possibility, Because her boys Would not be there For her to comfort them, Because, perhaps A whole life Needed to be grieved. How I loved her. She could hear...

Letter To The Fallen
"Memories buried in the wavering wash of time." I write you now with trembling hand, The ink runs like the river sand, Where once we laughed, side by side— Now silence stands where you had died. Your dog tags hang from rusted steel, A ghost’s reminder I still feel. Your voice just echoes in my chest, A joke, a shout, your final rest. We...

Cemetery Holds The Living
hairline chasm threads cobweb white through obsidian— wrapped around carved names once warm on living tongues. those who lived visit with heads down, pretending it’s superstition— not guilt. not memory. not fear of love ending abruptly in a plot...

So many friends came to say goodbye Remember the good times, not going to cry You were such a part of everyone you knew A special someone for everything that makes up you Hard to accept that you are no longer here Keep waiting for the moment when you reappear It really hit me, hearing the songs you wrote Nobody else could...
