In Loving Memory of My Mother

A lady I once knew
With a constant smile
So intriguing, ruling the world
With a personality of perfection

Missing is far too short
And tears of pain are all I have to offer.
A lady I knew was my companion
I cannot come face to face
The fear of all sensations
Is choking my spirit

The questions form and clutter my head
Come back down for awhile
You are so high
Far too high for me to say

The man who murders thrives
The woman who cheats stays
Yet the woman who captures 
A beautiful soul inside her body walls
Gets buried beneath us all

One Night Hope

To whom it may concern
And to whom it may begin
Time is the distance of our line
The attitude we carry flashes
And how the light shines, varies 
Can you feel what I feel?
It is swarming my existence 
White lies are followed by bits of honesty. 
I can’t relay this information 
I cannot write it down for you
The world is unable to contain and hold
What may be the truth. 
Stems of imagination issue all.
No manipulation can occur
Yet we certainly attempt to play master
In a place where I can scream alone
I can offer all in full 
But whatever the ends are
You are unable to handle
Where I play a front that you recognize
I am able to enter the realm.
