Sister hums a hymn
  Along the cyprus way
Down by the Camp F fence
  For him she goes to pray
For whom the lights will dim
  A dead man sings today
Angola's ****** anthem
  And Sister hums a hymn.

The Process Of Mistrust

The Process Of Mistrust

It really doesn't matter
what she says,
most of it is *******
anyways.
She learned it
early on,
when she vowed
never to trust again.
And in that process,
creating broken hearts
became a habit
she thrived on.
She will never change
& they will never be the same.

Pluviophile

Standing at my window with an aching in my chest
Looking out the window as the rain poured down
Pondering hard if I could withstand this test
Fixed in a lost gaze; in tearful helplessness I drown.

The raindrops burst as they fall and hit the ground
Into a million droplets merging back into a puddle
Like muffled drumming, chaotic yet calming is the sound
Spellbound by it's sight, so beautiful...so subtle.

My eyes grow weary but still I wish to witness
These glassy beads falling enchantingly from the sky
Hoping it'll wash away the miss and all of it's madness
Felt the moist in the wind as it kissed my cheeks dry.

This magic before me, I can stare upon all night
For I love it so, it brings the solace I so have craved
Much like my love, I'd gaze upon her till the break of light
Wishing I could tell her of the love I've saved...

RED RIVER

RED RIVER

Tossing and turning upon my bed
Red River flows through my head
Red River rapids of life's ups and downs
This raft of misery on which I'm bound

Weeping willows line the Red River shores
Weeping for love that exists no more
Without a paddle I lie and think
Of all I've lost on Red River's banks
As I float around my final bend
Will Red River falls be my end

And where I wonder does Red River flow
Perhaps to the sea of wayward lost souls
Who drown in despair on the ocean floor
Forgotten and alone forevermore...

Futile Awakening

You know I tried to reach you
but you just slapped away my hand
Why implore or beseech you
when you don't want to understand

You're too afraid to face me
as I give chase haphazardly
hoping to retain validity
vividly in your memory

Like trying to wake the dead
sleeping beauty in her bed
poisonous kisses in my head
the bitten apple of my disgust

Thats all you ever want
(Wake up)
  thats all you ever wanted
  (Wake up)
   thats all you ever need
     (Wake up)
     thats all you ever needed

Remain at rest my dear
leave my pleas to fall on deaf ears
Stay comatose my precious
restless attempts to rescue us.

I'm not the boogeyman
I'm not the one to run from
I have done all I can
to quell all that you succumbed

All I can do is dream
I only can remember
and think of what could have been
before it was dismembered

A Soldier's First Love Affair

A Soldier's First Love Affair

I loved her
from the first moment I met her.
So sleek she was,
manufactured to perfection,
I cradled her in my arms,
invigorating me
she did.
I fingered her trigger
& she reacted violently,
spewing lead
rapidly
from my hidden place,
her suppressor-face was hot,
molten,
effective.

Life's Tragedy (Who Gets To Choose)

Life's Tragedy (Who Gets To Choose)

Why do some go through such misery and pain
Being hit by tragedy again and again
Is it something that they do?
Is it something that they've done?
What is it that shoots holes through life
With both barrels of the gun

Is it the deal of the cards?

Or the twist of fate?

Perhaps the lie of the deck

That lays a life to waste

But who's to say what it all means
For none are promised tomorrow
Just be prepared for the coming storm
In the raining down of sorrow

For life is never easy

And never is life fair

Aren't we all just teetering here

On a thin rope above thin air

There never seems to be words of comfort
Words of wisdom we could give
All we need to be in the time of need
Is the shoulder of a friend
For those that go through misery and pain
As more is yet to come
Hitting them hard again and again
Over little they have done
