Curled under my covers
Hiding the world from my senses
Angel’s comfort beyond my grasp
Seeking refuge
Minding darkness
Soul is weary
Heavy heart's dreary
Breastbone crushing resuscitation
Pressing rhythms flatline
A moldering past
Alas—a day to die for
high wide
and handsome
the chasm
of emptiness
that fills
viduaged hearts
Shine not tonight moon
Garden blooms spray no bouquet
Night wind no dancing -
Let tears just flow by my bed
Fill this chasm 'tween me and death.
2.13.14
Kids wake up in the morning
They bound out of bed
I hit the snooze button
feeling half dead
They're on the go
most of the day
I find myself wishing
that I felt that way
Is it just that they're younger
while I'm getting old
Or the joy that they feel
in the end is fools' gold
I’ve swam in the abyss,
And I still do.
I’ve looked into the abyss,
And I have yet to blink.
It is chasm so dark,
That the blind will truly be sightless.
But still this bruised soul,
Leaves unscathed.
Can you believe it,
I have yet to drown in humanities and the devils void.
Save for the unfortunate few,
And the soon to be unfortunate.
I knew I’d offended you, your smile
of hurt, the one reserved for whipped
spaniels; you use it too.
We didn’t speak as we strolled through
the woodland park , picking up acorns,
dropped by passing tree top squirrels
And when my hand brushed yours, you
pulled away, like a nervous electric eel,
stranded in the rainless mud
I knew I’d offended you.
I see inside, look to my soul
And know that I am still unwhole
I see inside, perceive my mind
And, lost, I know I'll never find
The truth that lies, a crystal tear
Inside the sea of all my fear
A perfect prism, known in night
Nor clear nor colored to the sight
I view into my soul
As words would fill a hole
I know my heart. My mind
Is what I'll never find
Form:
What you see
on the outside
is not what I am
on the inside.
Crippled by
my own fears.
Starting to dread
the oncoming years.
People look and think
that I have it all.
They do not realize
I am heading for a fall.
Everyday, I put on a face
to hide the lies.
Soon enough,
that will crack with my cries.
Cannot see any escape
on the horizon
only a dark chasm
starting to widen
Form:
Two of us an unbridgeable dark chasm;
We strike sharp painful words full of sarcasm.
Finger pointing away to the other.
Imperfect we are to one another.
We used to walk amid rhythmic towers,
Youthful dreams and love each other for hours.
Alone and forgotten, gracelessly through
Melodic and rhythmic blankness askew.
Two of us an unbridgeable dark chasm,
No longer share the same enthusiasm.
Listen to poem:
As I look over the
unbridgeable chasm
from the cliff to the sea,
churning on the rocks below,
I realize that why
I cannot bridge the gap
is not because of what I am,
but, because of what I'm not.
I'm immutable
I'm immovable
I'm imputable
I'm imbalanced
I'm imbittered
I'm immature
I'm immobile
I'm immaterial
I'm immense
I'm impassible
I'm impartible
I'm impalpable
I'm impenetrable
I'm so 'hmm'
In anger
You told me
A chasm lay between us,
I looked
Saw it there
I recognised
My own handiwork
Horrified, repenting I
Built a bridge,
With strong foot boards
Tempting you to cross
I added shiny rails,
To stop you falling.
I sweep the boards
And polish the rails,
Most every day.
But you don't come
To see,
To cross.
One day the dust will stay
The rails will start to corrode.
Then if you cross,
You will find
Only an empty wasteland
And my dust
Blowing in the wind
Unknowable.
Dear God, help me in this chasm of fear
It's so dark and shadows lurk around me
The waters are so murky and unclear
The path before me, I just cannot see
Dear God, help me in this chasm of fear
I don't want to linger here anymore
It's painful, your refining fire sears
Me, an earthen vessel; I'm weak and sore
Dear God, help me in this chasm of fear
Shed light and illuminate this dark pit
I'm frightened, Lord, I cannot feel You near
So in this dark, unfeeling pit, I sit
We seem separate, sadly so
Culture's children of East and West
A horrid hole lurks humankind
Traipse through time to stand up straight
History's tears tell the true tale
Finding freedom from irksome isms
Inner inklings shine to the stars
Will wise hearts always pay the price
Wrought with woe, wars waged unwon
Face race, our original sin
Seeking healthcare for everyone
Reset concepts for world order
Find ways to treat our foes as friends
Cross grand gorges, greet the other
Deep,Deep in the chasm ,all wet and filthy .
Longing to come out .
Guilt and sorrow were my only companion .
I had no one to tell of my agony.
Oh! Life,"Why are you so cruel,why don't you get any better?
As I was saying ,I saw a tiny spark in middle of the dark chasm .
Then it grew brighter and brighter until it consumed all the darkness ,
helping me to see beyond the chasm.
That spark had redeeming power,loving eyes and tender hands .
That spark had a name and his name is Jesus .
