We often forget that
Wonder never really ends
People have just pushed love to expired tears
That don’t care about desire

My life is not so tranquil
It’s full of bumps and bruises
I know all this will remain
Pain from broken heart

Test of Love

When bodies cease
 To emit jasmine’s fragrance
When lips aren’t rosebuds
Old age, season to test
The love of those you loved

Frittering their lives away
  at work, at home, at play

When the good times finally died
  ~ they'd nothing left to say

Misery

Misery flouts age.
It knows no race, no gender, no status.
It flows silently in depths so deep
One could get lost forever.

Left of Ever

Floating on what’s left of ever, 
Just waiting to join in. 
Thoughts so dark that one must sever, 
Before the life begins.

Destination Unknown

Roaming down the highway
Solely finding his way
Treading painful memories
Using them for another day

Is he really alone?

Sadness interferes with life
In me it muses
I feel the power of hurt
And it squeezes out
Saddened heartlessness

Doomed Filled Eyes

Today we sigh long
For tomorrow the skies fall
Hitting us to ground
Seemingly not making sounds
And away in tears we drown
Form: Tanka

Release

Just like clouds releasing their rains
Let go of that sadness 
Let go of the pain
Let go of the past
And watch things grow

I Wonder.

i wonder how long i will be alone
in this house,
in this life.
i wonder how long i will hurt,
in my muscles, 
in my heart.

Enemy Within

When your enemy is found within
Satan knows your soul you’ll sell.
Defeat them first to begin
To find a pathway out of hell.

at peace but alone
a feeling wholeness lingers
pondering the space
where once there was tea for two
now there is but one cold cup

So many emotions,

For I am like you,

Notes On Suicide

A knife to my wrist,
A gun held high to my brain,
A noose with a chair,
So many ways to leave earth 
But still not enough reasons

I wish I were free of seld doubt
Free of insecurity
Free of fear
Free of embarassment
I wish I were free to be myself and not care

Debonair

Charming masked persona
Desiring all he can take
Elegant words of passion
Forgetting that he’s fake

Why can’t you just be yourself?

Not Enough

Still hurts to think about
Tho I've never cried 
Perhaps healing will be my tears
Perhaps I'll never shed any
Perhaps I'll never heal

Single Wish

thoughts of death
bring joy to my heart
a smile to my face
a sense of relief

it's a single wish that lets you know...
i have nothing

Wisdom lies in the grave

Born  frail
Through my wonder I wander and  become pained
and rover subtly these days 
Time polishes my brain,
Wisdom lies in the grave

Fans

You just spend your days
Watching the ceiling fan
blow the world away
In this dying state
you stay
They all frown upon you
with dismay

Ignore the anger, more anger grows
Ignore the heart, but the heart knows
Ignore the problem, the problem grows
Ignore the person, the person goes
