Pieces
We live upon
Our naked souls
Cradle thoughts
Beneath the light
We hear the pain 
On sacred roles
Chaos brims over
Unwept night
We stand above 
The dying never
Seeking that which
Has no end
We kill the truth
Undying clever
Pieces of a 
Long lost friend....

A Practiced Sorrow
You’re dressed in gray, and
tattered like the clouds
that hover above you.

Frozen
with the look of a person
who knows of his own

Tears Wait
Soulless
Dissected
A heart turning back
Jilted
Rejected
Last stab in the back
Mourning

The swamp but the same
Feeding
On hunger
Starvation the game
Cursing
 each blessing 
with heartache reset

While living
— new tears wait unwept
