Feeling like I live
Inside bubble of sorrow.
Drowning in my mind.
All these bad dreams consume me.
Nothing at all what it seems.

The Lies about tomorrow,
—the truth about today
Deceived by joy and sorrow,
—all future gone astray

Once again night gathers,
beckoning your tears.
Sorrow shatters laughter,
echoing your fears.
You tragic disaster,
what fruit can life bear?

I’ve dug this hole too deep,
Laying here, and all I can do is weep.
Soothing sympathy is a rare thing for me
As I cry tears of sorrow and empathy.

How'd you like to borrow some sorrow
I've plenty to give away
You say you'll come back on the morrow
~ But there's so much backed-up here today

Lord, please forgive the wrong I do,
Don't let it take me far from you,
Teach me to live, and learn, and pray,
As you wish, dear Lord, today.
Amen.

Faces of the Corona Ghosts
faces of the corona ghosts
fill my heart
with sorrow
as I see and hear them
everywhere
voices crying in the wind

Wandering through life like a clown
Face paint hiding a painful frown
When every day brings sadness and sorrow
What value is there in the belief of tomorrow

WIDOW WARRIORS
Flags trumpet the depths of sorrow,
As slow steps mirror wretched tears.
Loved ones shell, overflown with grace,
As widow warriors pick up the fight.

Singing a morning,
painting a song
Sculpting a memory,
writing a wrong
Blessing the moment,
kissing the sky
Laughing at sorrow
—living to die

Her heart loves me but her mind hates me,
Forgive me before its too late,
So many promises broken,
My sorrow, it is yours,
And I am sorry,
I ran away,
I would die,
For you,
Love

In the hoping of a dream,
of the February rising violet crocuses,
that shattered from significant sorrow-
as you became an ageless traveler,
of the deeply welcoming ambient universe.

i love to walk in the rain
you cant see me cry
i love sitting in darkness
you cant seem me frown
i blast my music loud
you cant hear me scream
....you cant even hear my tear drops fall

Gone without notice.
Shocking everyone
But me.
Gone without preparation.
Angering the family.
But not me.
Gone before they said “I love you.”
Sorrow surrounds the others.
But not me.

Dry those eyes,
don't cry anymore,
at any given day,
we shall stand,
on God's Golden Shore
Our days of sorrow,
shall be no more,
the pain will ease,
as He carries us,
through Heavens Door.

Regret is the luxury
Which we can ill afford
Of memory’s gilded albatross
Encrusted with jewels
Of sorrow and pain
Draped around our necks
To mock our joys
With guilt and shame.

We often remember there is always a tomorrow
Through resonance of beautiful songs of sorrow,
For then we know our struggles which make us grow
Are only emotional, experiential songs of a similar flow.

I binged…bewildered…
I eat away my sorrow
I binged…a caged bird
I binged...I’m so uncured
I eat away tomorrow
I’m winged – set-free bird
I am delighted
I binged...I’m so immature
Gleefully hazy
