Those who go to bed early
Look forward to tomorrow
Those who dread the coming day
Stay up until they can see the sun
Just to make sure they'll make it.

Insomnia

Insomnia

I continue to lay in bed
Regardless of the lack of sleep it brings me
Hoping that someday my body will feel comforted enough to fall into a slumber
As if the bags under my eyes
And the stiffness of my muscles
Weren't enough to let my body know it's time to rest
If only my mind would stop running
Then maybe I could feel tranquil
But the anxiety I experience is sharp
And my thoughts cannot feel peace

Drunken couch corners
feet up head back
late night slow jazz playing
****** ****** ******
give me more give me that
sound
I need that sound
like the sky needs blue

Tears for the fallen

Tears for the fallen

.

Tears for the fallen
Saddened refrains
Lasting impressions
Endless the stains

Hearts of the young
Brave in the fields
Anguish and sorrow
The pain it does yield

Proudly they fight
Quickly they fall
Not soon forgotten
The blood on the wall

Freedom the journey
Cost laced with war
Darkened decisions
Death at the door

Counted statistics
No two the same
Numbers for tracking
Somebody’s name

Wasted perception
Fear has no place
Tears for the fallen
Roll down my face

Contemplated dreams

~

Come with me a’ walking
on this autumn day
Through this wondrous forest
here amongst the shade

Along a wooded stream
you and I we lie
Contemplated dreams
appear before the eye

Let us find a pathway
silent ‘neath the trees
Leading us to paradise
on the forest breeze

Waiting for the twilight
to flow in from above
On our grand adventure
*as we share our love

Union

Union

To relate to suffering
is to understand
the heart of the world
to write of it
becomes the union of humanity

Here, someday

Here, someday

I re-experience her,
here,
yes here.
The joy that was lost long ago.
We share again,
we smile again.
I remember the only thing,
the river,
the warmth.
I confess,
something never said before.
We share again,
we smile again.
It wasn't meant to be,
but still,
I wait,
here,
yes here.

Wanderlust

You run your fingers across maps
Like you are caressing the cheek
of your dying lover
for the last time
