The untended **** can only grow
'til the roots take to stone
and it soon becomes known

Should a tug be its fate,
then a hole must be filled
but the stone won't forget
even if the garden will.

The wilting rose
in its heart only grows.
Lest the final petal falls,
due return? who knows..

May
love find you, and
fear flee your name.
sadness steel you, and
courage bring you fame.

Let
love **** you, and
fear keep you sane.
sadness heal you, and
courage bring you pain.

Let be, all that may,
and suffer on another day.

she says i'm sweet
but that i'm too cheesey.

I tell her - sweet cheese is ice cream
and i'm glad you're so cold

else I'd be a puddle

Reaching for the sky, in vain
the sky pours down torrential rain
While buildings may be swept away
the grasses bend and shall remain

How lovely the sunlight
before it hits the window

The colored shade helps
find my stained recollection

Paints a picture,
of grandeur most saint

Please, guide us tainted souls
to your political patronage.

And lead us not into temptation
to emulate such masterful sin.

Poets bleed ink -

leaving dark stains
of bereavement and sorrow

opening their veins
for callous minds to follow

A single word -

chambered at the lips, and at last
loosed with an anchored sigh

Remembrance
