We need something to believe....

Severed from a 
knotted past
the future’s line

Clenching right fist tight
wrenches your memories fast.
No need for string tied

Like you love me
It makes my teeth itch
Palms rattle with the force
Of a hurricane
In your childhood room
Shoelaces knotted
Like a noose
Around my brain....

it meanders down
echo cobbles
hiding in
black shadow forest
tendril fingertips
gnarled and knotted
pull you back
to a rememberance
of the gone...

Of knotted words
Left unsaid.
Rusted flowers
In a bed
Of memories
All but dead.
Eyes red
Heart bled
Courage fled
But no tears shed

...But no tears shed......

Heaven bright sunshine
slowly shadows 
the hand-knotted
bundles, scenting the air
with sweet blessings,
for a peaceful night.
