Old winds fly by forever
Never to be captured or contained
The trick is to
Accept nature at her word:
Fresh winds bring fresh
Worlds
Patience is key.
Question
I stopped looking
And for a brief moment
You found me.
If I stop searching
Looking
Desiring
Perhaps for a longer moment
I will be found?
Desperation
Like a tsunami devastating
Everything in its sight
Emotions arise
Devouring our best
Intentions
We are left discarded –
Thrown against a blackened road
Our broken bones bruise our
Flesh
And when all calm returns
The only thing we can cling to
Is a desperate
Hope.
Pain
The first cut
Apparently
Is the deepest
So I sliced myself
Over and over and over
Again
So I would never feel that
Lonely depth of pain
Anymore.
Relentless
A black hole grows inside me and threatens to swallow me whole
The more I cast into it the more I am consumed
I am being eaten alive and the pain is
Relentless.
Will You?
If I hold my heart out
Will you take it, will you dare?
Will you take my heart
Within your hands
Will you hold my heart with care ?
Will you love me as I love
Will you never let me go
Will you walk beside me
Will you love me so?
Be Mine
Strands of Grey
It was only when I stopped for awhile
And allowed the color to drain from my hair
That I saw the beauty and wisdom
In each strand of grey.
Stillness
Sometimes
We need to set aside
Our desires, our wishes
Our wants, our strife
And simply be
Still
Taken
Taken
People come and people go
Some with notice and some say so
Others kiss you and walk away
Mothers hug you on their last day
I had a mother and then she was gone
Brutally left to fight on my own
Never again to hear her kind voice
Left with an emptiness, a certain black void
Moving along I live my own life
Free to be me, no one to advise
I heard her advice, in the time she was here
And now she is gone, I have nothing to hear
My dreams tell stories in a dark lonely night
The pain I carry, a never-ending fight
She left me, and never came back
I was left standing, gasping for air
The pain is buried, but somehow it’s there
In my daily life, my mistakes and torment
I will love, for that’s all that stands in the end.
