New Day

Soon lights will go out
as the dawn throws its bright rays—
a new day is born.

Letters

Accumulated
old letters upon my desk
some are bittersweet.

Beauty

Through the windows I can see,
the gardens are in bloom once more.
I catch a moment of beauty,
it was a fading glance.
Beauty, all around.
Beauty I had
failed to
see!

Statue

Frozen garden statues stare
Blankly into nothingness
Eyes that see all but do not
Perceive anything.

I am frozen, cold as ice,
All of me is blank and numb.
I have eyes that see as well,
I'm just a statue.

Old Bible

So old and yellowed
The Bible my father owned
I read it by candlelight.

Always Night

Long bleak hours of night
Darkness looms all around me
Even in the day.
All my windows are sealed up,
Candles burn all day and night.

Holes

I see the pure white snow melting,
as it drips through the holes in my ceiling.

I know that inside, my heart bleeds,
from the holes left from that jilt.
