when you left
you took the color with you,
and now the world
is like an old television set,
with muffled sound
that grates the ears,
and a picture
that cuts in and out,
filled with static,
in brilliant black and white,
that's made more of shades of gray.
did your world get more vibrant,
when you de-saturated mine?
or did the color
disappear entirely;
slipping out of your fingers
to be consumed
by the void
where my heart
once lived

I look to the sky
And beg God for forgiveness
My plea goes unheard.

Paths lie before me
It is too dark to see them
I look to the sky.

I gaze at the stars
I begin to fall upwards-
Reunion at last.

Abstract

Pax
only a few can see
appreciation of its beauty
unseen to most
to where it hides
its truth without a cost.
And how much is art really worth?

To be loved is to be seen
And I never realized just how invisible I felt
Until you came along
And saw me in full color
I did not like
What I saw in this
Mirror
So I changed
Mirrors
Not all mirrors reflect truth
cats they can be so loving i have one so i know
i got her as kitten seventeen years ago
she is  my best friend keeps me company
and her loving way she still gives to me

happy and content as she begins to purr
tho she is getting old her loves still there for me
best friend in the world and will always be
