Oh if it were my choice,
I think it'd be great
To have a place in paradise
... better yet, outside the gate.

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! ♡♡

A face
like rain
And falling fate
Her eyes
Chased leaves
And found
His gates
Came upon
His empty
Chest to
Kiss his
Cage and
Let love
Rest.
He was just a roaming man
With nowhere left to go
Turning down a winding road
Searching for his home
Staring at the lives of which
He'll never know
Wondering how he ended up
So lost and all alone.

He hadn't had a sober day
Since the third day back in June
So lazy he couldn't pray to God
So he settled for the moon.
This man he had some big ideas
But never set a goal
The world just keeps on spinning 'round
Where it stops, nobody knows.

Some days are transparent
Others are cloudy filled with smog
He never had a best friend
Not even a dog
He just went through the motions
Alienating everybody within reach
Making mistake after mistake
He was one you couldn't reach

He wasn't very stupid
He wasn't very smart
It was clear that he was suffering
From a broken heart
Among some other things
Disappointed in his choices
Which direction leads to change?
Running around in circles
Stuck inside a maze
Seems I've been saying this for days
Lost his mind, he'd gone crazy
Stuck in ambiguity
Hidden in the leaves.

Unburden my Heart
The very one that used
to Beat so Fiercely for You.
Unravel my mind,
and Reclaim every crowded thought
I hold on To.

Take away the light that once
Shone in my eyes
Rid me of these cruel Sands of Time--
Flowing endless as the sea,
Seize my tumultuous Soul--
****** it away from me.

Take away all nostalgic recollections
both the good and the bad
Steal away with my fractured emotions--
Those I wish I never had.

Take away the love I can no longer Give,
Take away my Fight, and my Will to Live.
Remove every aspect, Swipe every lingering Lie,
Rob me of the Crushing Weight
of our Final Goodbye.

Unhinge All my Sorrow
Release All my Hate
Strip from me from All this Pain
That I feel so Late.

Take back our First Hello
Take back our First Kiss...
Wipe away this Accursed Phantom--
The constant Taste of You worn upon my Lips.

Reacquire Every Intimate Moment once Shared,
Every deep breath, Chaste touch;
Fingers that once combed
Longingly through Raven Hair
.

Take away the failed notion of Us
To make room for a Solitary Me,
Take away how things once were
And leave behind what must Be.

Detach your Essence from my Spirit--
So Broken and Weak,
To Allow myself to swallow Selfish Words,
Words I can no longer Speak.

Pull every Volume of our shared story from my Shelves,
So that you may set every page ablaze
And leave Nothing
But Myself...
To pick up a pen
And Begin
A
New
Page.
