Rene' Bennett Poem
I remember the tears
with yesterdays pain
that dreadful year
of October rain
Darkened skies
with clouds of grey
gloom which followed
everyday
Hidden in shadows
fate lurked at me
a game of life
which took three
With each breeze
of passing wind
fate just laughed
at me again
Cold wet rain
stained my face
salty tears
I could taste
As I looked
up to the sky
I could not help
but wonder why
My soul screamed
with terror and pain
that dreadful year
of October rain

Rene' Bennett Poem
One by one through the years
A wall was built with pain and fears
Brick by brick it was laid
On solid ground where it stayed
I tried to listen as you spoke to me
Words of wisdom and prophecy
Yet, I could not hear through the wall
Built with strength as not to fall
Then one day from the sky
I thought I heard an angel cry
Weeping softly teardrops fell
Gathered from life's wishing well
Two more angels joined her side
And hand in hand all three cried
Thunder bellowed, rain did fall
Tearing down my sturdy wall
Yet, through the fog I found my way
So brick by brick I build today

Rene' Bennett Poem
Feeling trapped within these walls
as I stumble with each fall.
I try to hold my head up high
so no-one ever sees me cry
But in my mind I scream with fear
painting pictures very clear
Please tell me this will go away
for it can't always be this way
I often wonder if it's me
it seems that no-one else can see
pain which dwells deep in my soul
holding tight, not letting go
Yet, these scars which I wear
tell a story I now bare
Scars I know can never heal
reminding me this is real
Tomorrow is another day
and as I stumble on my way
these voices screaming in my head
are silent whispers now instead

Rene' Bennett Poem
Sadness overwhelms me
Deep
As at night
Alone
I weep
You cannot see
My pain inside
Yet
You never even tried
I know what
You wish to see
As you say
You're proud of me
This gentle smile
On my face
Belongs to me
With all her grace
It took some time
To place her there
So, daily she is
What I wear
Just for you
She'll smile away
Hoping she will
Make your day
As you pretend
It's all real
Never knowing
How I feel
And when you go
To sleep at night
Assure yourself
I am alright
You security blanket
Hides so well
That I'm still
Living
In this
Hell.

Rene' Bennett Poem
I woke up this morning
thinking of you
reached for your warmth
as I always would do.
Your side of the bed
was empty with fold
pillows in place
untouched and cold.
I did not smell coffee
the news was not on
things seem so different
since you are gone.
Your sweet smelling scent
is fading away
so I cling to your memory
in every possible way.
Motivating myself
is a struggle to do
hard to see sunshine
when feeling so blue.
They say it gets better
as time goes by
to look for the good
at least give it a try.
Something happened
at work today
I started to call you
right away.
Sadly remembering
I hung up the phone
you were not there
God took you home.
My heart is hurting
my soul cries with pain
I've got nothing to lose
got nothing to gain.
Time is one asset
I have plenty to spare
holding on tight
going nowhere.
I'm looking for good
as I have been told
reaching for warmth
yet, shiver with cold.
Darling, I miss you
in every way
and still loving you
"Forever and a Day."

Rene' Bennett Poem
God catches teardrops
As they fall
Gently collects
And gathers them all
In the palm of his hand
He holds them so
Close to His heart
Deep in his soul
One by one
Through the years
God made a river
From my tears
Flowing freely
With celestial divine
For teardrops flow
All the time
Yes, there's a river
In heaven
Just for me
A gift from God
For eternity

Rene' Bennett Poem
Waiting for Death
But He never comes
Though I know
He's visiting someone.
He once knocked at my door
But I wasn't home
Yet, when He left
He wasn't alone.
Instead He visited
My lover my friend
Then He tried
To Visit again.
But again I was gone
So, He went next door
And visited grandma
Then came back once more.
Rearing His head
With anger and hate
Missing me again
But, again sealed my fate.
For it was Mom
Who answered that door
So He took her
To even the score.
So, Now here I sit
And wait for that knock
The one I've heard
But never got.
I know He's out there
Visiting someone
And I am still waiting
To be the next one.

Rene' Bennett Poem
I'm afraid scared inside yet
my feelings I well hide.
Worried thoughts tears I hold
inner pain left untold.
Panic grips my heart tight
as I weep alone at night.
How I got here I don't know
yet, my fears will never show.
Only those who read the words I write
share the secrets of my fright.
Face to face you'll never see
the real person trapped in me.

Rene' Bennett Poem
Spirit of night
no one else sees
patiently waits
for darkness to be.
Cleverly hiding
in shadows nearby
as stale humid air
feels muggy yet dry.
Demon of evil
as I can foretell
came from the pits
of damnation's Hell.
I know when you linger
I feel you
anxiously waiting
as I am too.
And as my eyes close
I sense your delight
preparing for war
in the midst of the night.
With cowardly ways
you fight unfair
only to strike
when my mind's unaware.
The strength of your touch
takes my breath from me
as you attack fast
and forcefully.
I've seen you growl
I've heard you hiss
felt the strong force
of your deadly kiss.
I've looked in your eyes
black as coal
stood face to face
and fought for my soul.
I've come to know you
as you well know me
yes, this nightly battle
no one else sees.
