whispered shadow

WHISPERED SHADOW 

She flaunts her way into my mind,
A beautiful chaos, cruel yet kind.
A disaster to see, a tale untold,
A fire so warm, yet burning cold.

Her scent lingers both day and night,
A whispered ghost, a fleeting light.
Her teeth peek softly through her smile,
A charm that lingers all the while.

She drifts like wind through fields so

I Love Small Boxed Faces

Soupers often engage in emotional ways.
There can be depth in what two might exchange.
When someone leaves our shared Soup domain,
their diminished light is a missed, valued sight.  
Some remarks feel like word-shaped embraces
and time together often leaves valued traces.
Is is not odd, just plain strange, as well as an ache
that Soup relationships are both

In the Land of No Good-Byes

Promise we two will live forever
In the land of no good-byes
Where tomorrow never quite reaches us
Evermore to gaze into your eyes

Through love's impassioned blindness
We'll travel life's highway together
Helping each other through thick and thin
Through all kinds of stormy weather

Where tomorrow never quite reaches us
Forever in the land of today
Loving and cherishing every moment
Whatever may come

For Poets There Are No Good Good-Byes

I don't recall one
Not one that didn't 
Leave me sad or
Angry,
Lost,
Forlorn...
Empty at one time or
Another
Missing someone before
They even closed the door.
Yearned for some note or call
To for get it all...that no good
Good-bye...
Oh the sadness in the
Song of a poet's good-bye
Though we boast to handle
More than most...after all
We have the words to cover our
Wounds, often left

Good-Byes Hurt

You caught my eye, you got my heart,
it's going to be hard when we part.
Seeing you is like a dream come true,
because I never thought I would fall in love with you.
~~~~~~~
I've run out of answers, I'm running out of time,
I'm so confused that I'm losing my mind.
It's going to take a miracle to help

Last Good Byes

Reality sets in when a mother and a child are taking away in the blink of an eye.
Leaving so many wondering........why?
What we've have failed to realize is that it can happen just like that.
Truth is told it's the cold hard facts.

It could have been anyone of us
Or maybe even me.
But it was her.
It took something

Long Good Byes

You left me, oh so, long ago
my baby, my only child
before I wanted to let go
you'd said your first good bye.

For you had so much work to do
you needed space to grow,
and surely could not do so
with a fretting mother in tow.

My son you walk beside me now
rejoined, grown up, a man,
trying to explain to

Sad Good-Byes

Good-bye is not forever
Just a promise of the past
As I look to the future
All I see is what happened last

Tears come at first
Soon things may turn well
Yet it still hurts
An on going hell

Some thing else comes
To pass this time
I will still never forget
You were once mine

Two Men-Two Good-Byes (Part 1)

As I prepare myself
For the funeral service of my best friend
The love of my life
Is sitting on a mountains end

I can only immerse myself
In the thoughts of the two
Yet praying for my children
What they have been through

My friend gave them
Love, hope, and dreams
Was like a father figure to them
Even from a distance it seems

I have
