The tears of a rose
Will soak and stain
They're from her heart
They're stored up rain

They come from heaven
To flow down thorns
They sing in screams
From her lips torn

They can be acid
To burn the bloom
They can be crystal
Reflecting moons

The rose will open
In dead of night
The tears from petals
Refract the light

They cascade down
Drop from the leaves
For her soul
She sits and grieves

For her soul
The drops fall down
They feed her roots
Under the ground

They bring her back
The legend goes
There's healing in

Tears of a rose

I was talking to a friend this evening. Praying with her. She just endured a tremendous life setback. Said she couldn't stop crying. This metaphor came to my mind. This poem is for my dear friend. It is my sincerest hope that it brings healing.

I'm really sorry i haven't been reading. I have excellent reasons, of which some of you are aware. I just don't want you to think that I don't care. I do. I just have a lot on my plate. Thanks for understanding.

♡♡ LOVE YOU ALL! ♡♡
As the fabric of reality
Slowly comes undone
In these nightmares of society
There's no place left to run

Pitch black winged phantoms  
Filled a furious fiery sky
With howls and horrid raging screams
Screeching down in descending dives
Swooping, snatching every soul
Those unfortunately marked to die

Carrying existence
Spirals spinning swirling
Through suns, stars, fires
Into the smothering coals of our
Deepest darkest deadly desires

No resistance from
The slumbering slaves
Of supernatural heat
The flame of all domains
Dominions of all asleep
Burning drastically on eternally
The gathering entropies
....

Some wishes go astray
At the end of even a perfect day
The Wishing Fairy simply
   Whisks the wishes away...

But what if the wish
You wish for stayed
Would you wish
The wish away?

I wish I were
A wish upon
A penny
A star
A golden swan
And whatever you wished
I'd be the bond
I connect you to
The magic wand
And in your darkness
A spark I'd light
I wish I were
   Your wish tonight...
Traveler Tim
Beware of well crafted spells.
suppose peace gonna overcome
someday?
I've tried to help old ladies
bums
been a **** drunk discovering
the bottom
my self
given my heart soul and money
to orphaned animals
try to give forward

draw peace signs
in hidden places
and all caps LOVE
I hide in library books about the
holocaust
at times

I've sat giving lectures to the birds
to ants to trees, leaving traces
of my heart at their
root
and they seemed to listen
be aware of man's atrocities
clap applaud at times

I've been a minstrel
self-ministered
drawn on theologies
and  pathology
drawn and painted every self-portrait
I could while seeing
nothing

deeper
or wiser than
a sunbeam through limbs on the green
soft grass  near a calm stream
hearing her flowing musics
and cried among the bird chirps
and watched for hours
ants toil

trying so hard
so hard
to recognize
I woke to see soft
warm speckles of snowy dust
Gently falling down
I think my house needs a spring clean :)
