Waking with you in my arms
Like being reborn
With everything I would ever need

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

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

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

Be patient with yourself
Be patient with others
Because no one has it all together

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

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

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
