Short Rehashed Poems

faith wanes
questions plague
clouds form
monsoons rain

lightning flash
thunder cracks
constant turmoil
wounds rehashed

sun shines
moon glows
ceiling stars
after the storm...

Are your words predictable,
  are the feelings staid

Is the truth rehashed,
  the same pavers laid

Is your verse now tired,
  its veneer worn thin

Whose mask barely hiding
  —the emptiness within

Chopping the meat of the problem,
I throw in cubes of potatoes -
the proof of my beliefs.
Serving my rehashed dish,
I keep hoping folks will taste it
before the expiration date.

I dont want to die
But i dont want to live
Atrocities done
I can not forgive
Let go of the past
Quit reliving the pain
Lies and betrayals 
Stuck deep in my brain
Emotions time warped
Again fresh and new
The questions rehashed
Everything I've gone through
Reach out your hand
Stay in the now
Break the cycle
Help me somehow
I dont want to live
I dont want to die
Trapped in the trauma
Ever wondering WHY...

old words tremble on callow lips

pinched off like poison from a rose

and dripped upon the breeze ... 

your breath mixed with morning's

stirred with my own, like honeyed chai

yet spiced with argument ... rehashed
