soft falls the silence
gentle rain upon your face
beads full between those waiting lips
a poet once, but taking sips of watered war
has stilled your voice
and beauty speaks no more
decide which
petulant shadow hides
integrity.

honesty abounds yet the flags
will find us.
I am but
one star
in the
universe
that you
deserve.
I am but
a rain's
puddle
when
it is
the ocean
that you
need to
swim in.
Wish
upon me.
Dance
and jump
within me.
I long
to be
enough
for thee.

I have held so many of your tears
on my skin
in my chest
that I have forgotten
I have my own.
To my middle child.
