Silence

Night silence,
so much you have to say,
afraid of listening to
my past grieves,
let me sleep again.

Night silence,
once more you wake me up,
you bring me back 
many thoughts I want to forget,
just keep quiet for me to sleep.

Night silence,
you are becoming 
a noisy nightmare,
wake me up then,
so as I can see 
the blue sea
to get some calm.

Pastoria

A silent stone cries to the sky
Heralding her tranquil graved name.
A windswept tree weeps autumn leaves
As on her limestone marker grieves.

Mother Earth Grieves

Earth's beauty was created with its dawning
But flora and fauna will soon be extinct
Mankind refuses to accept the warning

Their abusive pursuits of nature is linked
to forests felled, toxins dumped in streams and yet
Concerns are ignored, the list far past succinct

Mother Nature's wounded; slain without regret
Animal habitats, men selfishly claim
To this ravaged planet, he owes a

Summer As It Grieves

I hear the words. In autumn's silent verse
lie anapestic wafts of falling leaves
with golden syllables both bright and terse,
the crimson pluck of summer as it grieves.

Hopes and dreams burned to the ground.

Today Grieves

Is it ever enough,
  will it ever be enough

Today grieving for tomorrow
 —all truth in the past

The South Still Grieves

Learning the threacherous tricks of the despicable ones
Enabled the greed-driven soldiers to conquer with lies;  
Torpid days of guilt came to smolder them with disgrace,
Trudging forth the conquered souls lost wealth and praise.
Immense was the anger of having been betrayed by their own;
Gentry souls fought in the fierce battlefield to defend their reign.

Everyone Always Grieves

Everyone Always Grieves

If you stand tall and protrude,
Self more then likely may delude,
But if praying with head bowed
More easily will mingle in the crowd.

If much better want to be,
God said leave it up to me,
I am both trunk, branches and leaves,
Without me everyone always grieves.

Retired Veteran and Poet

Everyone Leaves, Everyone Grieves - Your Choice

Have you ever noticed this trend? 
It might be a drought or a war, 
Blows quick to strike and slow to mend, 
And even if I have a friend, 
Everyone leaves / everyone grieves. (Your choice!)            

Strangers tell me 'You seem so sad, '
Though

When a Poet Grieves

They say when a poet grieves
He unveils himself, 
Within a poem, mending his broken soul 
With the beauty of rhyming words;
His tears he uses to soak the dryness
Of his worn mind;
Yet I, the poet, grieve in solitude
And I could not unveil, 
Nor write my own sorrow,
But, I do gaze the sky not to ask how
