No furthering of the mind
No intellectual thought
No calamity heroes
To pull us from fires

Just empty dull comic books
Colliding with
Empty dull comic books

On a rock
Hurdling through space

So I’ll wait here
Where you left me
Fending off the wolves
Waiting for your return

Your train

Hoping
Praying

You’ll get here
Before Death does...

After the Darkness has left...
There should be enough light
For the both of us.

A single thread to warm
Enough strength to carry
Into the sunrise

We can make it
One more day
Together

Fall for me once more...
Paint upon my canvas...
Give my heart
Beautiful words
To remember you by...

Then break it once again...
I felt alive when you left
Full of sadness
&
Purpose

Your beautiful words

And there will be times
When you needed
The Lighthouse
No matter how dim the light...

No one to meet you
Washed ashore
Among the splinters
Shipwrecked souls
Of others

Picked up your pieces
Past the cobwebs
The spiral staircase
Leading up
Replacing the broken light
At the top
Cleaning of floors
Glass

Time took over
Love came and went
Didn’t hurt
Years passed
Ships did too
By your blinding guiding light

Then you realized
You were the Lighthouse
Needed in your life

‘Oh my dear tired eyes...
‘Tell me we can make it...
‘Through one more day...

I recognized your storm
Even before your clouds
Began to form...

Now left with
Empty Sandbags
Cleaning up your flood
And tidal wave
This aftermath
Of you...
