*Sadness invades
every corner left open
Ears falling deaf
to the thoughts that do scream
Heartbeats are breaking
in moments of worry
Tears on the edge
of a fracturing dream

Anguish now splintered
as window panes shatter
Closing the curtains
to fend off the fear
Still there is one,
hoping you will hold on too
Look in your heart
and you’ll find I am near

Taking your hand,
bringing light to the darkness
Trudging a path
so your feet do not bleed
Lifting you up
when your spirits are drowning
I will be there
in your moment of need

I am not much
just a friend who adores you
Taking your pain
as if it’s all my own
Heeding your call
nothing else it does matter
A long as I breathe
you are never alone

.

*In the distance
I hear thunder
Rumbling echoes
on a blackboard sky

Darkened clouds
that seem to follow
Since that sunny day
you said goodbye

.

Fevered the winds on a shadow bled morning
A heart lies in pieces now slung to the path
Fractured are dreams of our yesterday questions
The waiting in stages, a long aftermath

Photographed wishes in frames on the mantle
Ashes below are the same as before
Dousing the flame while a child is missing
Charred are the matchsticks of news brokered war

Staring aloft as the moon freezes over
Memories counted abort the night sky
Falling on tears of the words never-ending
Oh can’t you see, they were too young to die

.

*If by chance you see this,
and just in case you care
I will always love you,
this to you I swear

And if you come to notice,
please hear me as I say
My loves for you is endless,
forever and a day

As here I keep on writing
in hope that this you view
So you will know my feelings
undying love for you

For there won’t be a moment,
nor any time you see
I will not keep my promise to
love you eternally

.

*It sat out in an open field
It was the strangest thing
An orb the size of who knows what
A giant ball of string

We laughed as we walked hand in hand
Our eyes were mystified
She tried to reach around the ball
Me on the other side

Neither of our hands could touch
Still inches far apart
I chuckled just a little bit
Her laughter it did start

When then I saw her look around
She wore a sneaky grin
Reached into her pocket deep
Then glanced around again

Her hand it held a pocket knife
A shining piece of steel
She then cut off a piece of string
And quickly did conceal

We ran away so very fast
Till it was far behind
Then stopped so I could figure out
What she had on her mind

Reaching out she took my hand
Pulled out the piece of string
Then tied it round my finger tight
A smile it did bring

I asked her tell me what it meant
She answered me so true
I tied it so you won’t forget
That I’m in love with you

.

*A warm morning
greets me beneath a
silent springtime sky
of fading stars
and moon beam departures
as another lonely day
finds me still
thinking of you

And as I quietly gaze
across sunrise glimmers
tickling distant weary fields
to the northern horizon
my thoughts change
as I wonder. . .
if you are thinking
of me too
