My fingers grasp at the void, empty-handed...
My heart lingers at hollowness, emptied out...

and only nothing remained.

The embers of my burning words
 wither into the palest of...

Im stillen Kornfeld dort,
wo sie verborgen lag,
des Schnitters Sense,
da liegt jetzt sein Grab.
Und nur der Wind
verweht das letzte Wort,
das niemand mehr vernehmen mag.

und stiehl dich heimlich fort.
Damit nicht Angst dich quäle 
an jenem...

The Reintroduction

At 45, I paused 
Not in grief, not in flames,
But in a soft, wide eyed wonder

Of something that only you complete
That soft touch that element of care

Evil Shadow

The quiet before the storm, 
is more sinister...
than it has ever been.

there has never been a squall,

Dizzy, spinning, arousing feeling
Tears rising skyward, spiraling...
into a tunnel where hope treads gently
Emotion, turmoil, sailing driftwood
Shipwrecked abandonment
As faith forces eyes toward the...

I remember the look
In those big brown eyes
As you’d smile and laugh
And leave me hypnotized

I remember the touch
Of your hands so soft
How you’d hug and comfort me
And shake the cold off

I remember the taste
Of your...
