I will go ahead and help you
with whatever you are going through
no need to play your game again
My love lost, but you are loved by so many men
Your proofs of life come little by little
time turns its wheel slowly as if brittle
fragile like the words I read today
paranoid of what they might really say
My heart hurts for you so
aching for a future I helped grow
gone before the fruit could fall
bitter and black, we burned it all
I'll go ahead and help you
until life is through
your name stamped upon my heart
for without, it would have surely fell apart

...and maybe,
we're none of us awake at all
perhaps the gracious host
is nothing but a ghost
and to most, a dream from sleep
truly but a leap, and we are all haunted
at the stopping of our feet...

little window up there
clouds glide past in the spring air
floating down, maybe to you
perhaps we both noticed
if only you knew
day brings rays that filter in
familiar course along the walls and antique tin
night's starlight brings wonder and dread
perhaps we both noticed
is he asleep, or is she dead
little window way up there
the show you give is not to share
vivarium's view of life in lieu
perhaps we both noticed
youth's magic will never be felt anew

petals that shall never fall
pewter leaves, etched, brown ruddy stain
cold street lights on faded brick wall
moths cling to illumination, in light they drown
rain washes down gurgling drain
a flower for you...a shower for the few
overgrown. overbearing. over there staring
wishing and waiting, withheld breath fainting
wanting
for the petals that shall never fall...

...what then does forgiveness feel like...
is it rain falling gently on automobiles?
washing away the heat of the day
slipping down the windows, blurring sight of stormy skies
and what does forgiveness sound like...
birdsong in the early light?
before the wind can rush through the leaves
quiet mornings beneath old trees
alas, what does forgiveness taste like...
refreshing sip of summer's sweet tea?
nourishment to a groaning belly
comfort food on frosty winter nights...
