Apparently, we were there
holding each other,
Inside, trying our best
to keep it together.

But, honestly we both knew
Our bodies were there
But, love had left.

Life through a Poem

Life through a Poem

My poems are the life of me
They are who I choose to be
and if you read them you will find
the keyhole view into my mind

You will be lost in rhymes
hearing the ticking and chimes
of my life translated into word
with nothing obscure or blurred

You will see my imagination
overworked with frustration
It's an art of the mind
Twisting and unraveling refined

If you read enough of them
You will find the gem
That will tie them all you see
At that moment, you will know I better than me.

Let me go...

Let me go...

Let me go to fade away
Just like I did in your mind today

Let me go to release the pain
So happiness we can obtain

Let me go to so I can understand
Why I was unable to be your man

Let me go so we can be free
Though I always think of you and me

Let me go...
So I can walk back around
To let you know...

*"I love you Darling, take my other hand"

Sometimes through the thick and thin, all you need is a second chance to truly be you in a relationship.

Read between the lines

Poetry isn't about the words,
Or the emotions,
Or sounding beautiful,
Or looking smart,
Or knowing big words
Like ephemeral.
It isn't about alliteration
Or similes and metaphors.
Poetry is about what it doesn't say.
The silence between the words,
That's what matters.

look for you

i will look for you in places we have never seen & on the empty streets of cities that don't actually exist.
i will look for you.

Across The Ocean Of Life

Across The Ocean Of Life

I was watching your final wave
and caught the smile on your face
as you were welcomed on the far shore
far shore across the ocean of life
I could see you merge with all the spirit world
and knew you had no regrets
and I could see that I too would travel there one day
to the far shore across the ocean of life.
