Rebirth
The house is enormous now Riddled with stones, cobwebs and dreams ended too soon The ceiling doesn’t hold my conversation So I just stare at it, blankly And it stares back, a brightly beaming white In only a few seconds I start to see those little spots Six of them, moving across my vision as my Eyes fill with tears and my heart refuses to let go

Communicate
She is a tall glass of water on a summer’s day She sits in the sun and condensation only amplifies her glow Full of character, despite her titillating transparency For every cold cube of ice, is one who took her for granted Some try to drink her all at once, but Such a fine glass must be sipped from before it can be drank from

A Most Necessary Drink
I was born at war They hid it from me at first But I could see the wounds lingering After each and every one of the ****** battles They didn’t have to tell me I saw the coldness of soldiers in their eyes Stranded on a battlefield Alone with the enemy But they weren’t alone—I was there What they don’t know is that after all these years I have battle scars too Because I spent my childhood in the midst of battle

The trees have begun to fill Every morning I see more miraculous Green and white

Patience
Rare are the nights that your smile doesn’t tread my mind, That I don’t smell your perfume within a scentless room, That your skin doesn’t trigger the nerves at the tips of my fingers, That with silence doesn’t come the voice to which I was destined to succumb I miss you

You
Endless envelopes of paper mail But hands tremble at the presence of one unaddressed letter, The card stock glances around, tantalizing to Whomever is caught by its wandering eyes, As they gently reflect the suns bright glare As if tempting each of us to open it, A letter with no return address and no destination simply sits, With it’s stainless skin—like freshly fabricated silk, Pleading for a curious soul with whom to share its contents, Its slight edges sit and yet intimidate They must surely pack a sharp punch when provoked, No one dares step to the unaddressed letter, Fearing that one droplet of our unworthy burgundy blood may be enough to permanently stain the stainless

The Stainless
When he arrives in his long dark cloak It’s always a suffocating surprise No matter how long you’ve been watching him inch closer and closer to someone you love But this is a time of peace for your dear friend And the only way forward is through So we will mourn your early departure and later we will celebrate your beautiful soul
