He let his guard down
recently
the feelings would not stop
jackals were circling
as the frozen prey
whimpered helplessly
He rushed to restore
the guarded wall
which protected him
for so long
Some would say he was a coward
while those protected
would champion his resolve

Leaves are falling everywhere
this wintry day
just like my hope of you returning
a glorious past
the sun burning bright
an enduring love
you said it would last forever
I had no reason to doubt
leavings falling fast
hope I see you again

All alone
listening to the hum
you can hear it
if you try
I won't blame you
for not listening
it's a silent melody
a secret language
its been here all this time

Thank you for following me
I read your poems just now
they opened my heart
like a rusty gate swung open
by a wild gush of wind
I can't explain the tears
they fall by happenstance
like some clouded mystery
found in stilted dreams
that come at night
but are never fully explained
the ones that haunt or dazzle you
while you sleepwalk during the light
What an opportunity
to live both day and night
I see all the potential
in this moment
and feel very blessed

Happy times and happy talk
overlook the void within
which no one will admit
I know you are listening

I started feeling
the other night
it was like a stranger visiting
I tried to ignore him
but I was overwhelmed by the tears
and now I have to admit
it was good to see my old dear friend

I used to be a poet
always straining
to fit words into the puzzle
so you would notice my world unfolding
but late one night some time ago
I gave it all up
and now
I am painting
quite outside the lines
and I hope you can still see the beauty
it is everywhere

There is no way
I would see you again
your inattentiveness
and insensitivity
are appalling
If I had wanted
a companion like you
I would have
taken a stroll
through a graveyard.

Cold marbled sky
numbs the pain we carry
on nameless streets
where
tight-lipped strangers
curse each step they take
and legless cripples
hold out torn paper cups
so close to our lips
that we become intoxicated
with the suffering
oozing from their presence.

I have been a soldier
since early time,
my sword concealed
in passing
but, you,
saw my hidden wounds
and cleansed them
with your caring.
