#ends
tracking footsteps
all the way to death
a missioned mind
and heartfelt love.

Nothing end poetically,
it just ends.
It ends and we turn it into poetry.
We gather the wreckage,
turning shards into verses,
smoothing it out with metaphors.
All that blood shed was never pretty,
it was just red.
Staining the earth red without meaning.
Yet we write.
We write because the silence feels heavier.
Because grief demands rhythm.
Because if we dont write poems,
then it was just suffering.
Suffering without meaning.

I have written down our end in my poetry.
Promises were bled onto paper,
Screaming, crying, yearning.
My soul desperately clings onto yours,
All the memories are not allowed to
Abandon us right here, right now.
I still ache in fright,
Pieces of me still cling onto the scars
That you've left.
I scratched them open again,
Just so you could heal them,
But the more I hurt
The further you go away
Until I won't see
Your soul one day.

I sat by the fountain,
watching the sun play out
the last moments of summer
in the company of young and old,
each of us attracted to its laughter.
And a voice spoke out
of a corner of this retreated peace
"It's the end of something.
At least the start
of something ending.
It's the end of many things
that you've grown accustomed to,
that have grown around you
and within you - rooted.
And so you may wonder -
- will the roots simply die from neglect?
(Has that dying already begun
from past neglect? Discuss.)
Or will you have to find the will
to uproot them?
- will the pain be worth the excavation?
- will the freeing of them better free you?
Or will you one day be grateful
for the remains of what was?
"So, for now, carry the remains.
Carry the scars and the stains.
Walk with confidence through this ending."
I listened to the voice in the quiet.
And sat with the fountain a while longer.
Knowing I'll find the decision sooner
or later. For tomorrow, it was September.

Until death do us part,
We do us part until death,
Digging our Graves to lay,
We will be the seeds here,
Unyielding in this garden,
Sprouts none to doom,
I've dug a garden upside down,
Filth by filth I've learnt a thing,
Understand this Love,
A winters growth is slow,
A winters bloom is rare.
What use is regret now dear?

Ignore the sunset,
Don't focus on the end of things,
The sun will set, yet,
You will fade well before,
If you worry and fret.

Hug me tight until
I can smell you,
Comforting as blissful blue,
Days have passed; you’ve no clue,
How much I longed for you.
The warmth of your
arms wrapped around me,
Those hazelnut eyes -
I could only see,
Soft hands intertwined
with mine,
I wouldn’t trade for
billions of dime.

sunday on a saturday afternoon
fills my lungs with soda taste longing
flinging through words never said
to spit out of my head
here i lie on the bedding
sunday comes around
to feed me to the ground
silence waits til i turn to say ‘i found you’
saturday sun on a sweet afternoon
week full, ate up my work til i threw up on you
what was that last thing we spoke about?
like,
just wait til it ends
just wait til it ends
sun sat day to wait til it ends
and then you know like
it starts on a friday night
we’ll tie our hands together
over our new tv
we’ll watch the stories as they play
of a life worth living past sunday
life worth living past sunday

In life stories form
all informed knowing, be it
beautiful adversity universally
re-co-known
acknowledged with smiles, and
nods, sense of yes, I know, I think,
I see you think, so, I know, I did
finish writing something meaningful;
or, be it in every way some other way.
I think you may imagine you agree.
In conscience used, we take science,
knowledge of beauty, chaotic clouds,
bending rays of sunshine, evening
the heave offering, leaving smooth
cool of the day
white sugar desert dunes, to an ant or bee.
{KJB, viable Bible archetype, declares phonetic
remenants of Eber's unconfused use of letters,
towb rah translate as good and evil, but better see
טוֹברַע good and bad, useful and useless to the point
of wasting effort, in a take it easy world, where we
know enough, drink, remember when it was,
plenty of water, no real enemies yet, and only
one barrier, over which those beautiful wild
seeds have been carried, by ravens, and doves
and rodents who surface only in the night.
Let's recall an old told tale, how folks
skinned in many colors we continue to be coated with,
all lost the knowledge that lying was used, to steal,
during lives times when we are parts in wholes,
until all things continuing, combine your will
to wonder what I imagined I am continuing,
with my own will to wander on, meandering
through the substance of hope, by my own
faith, fi, upright, balanced valence in chemical
terms, fit to fight for your right to think wrong,
confident my pride has been filed to a point,
not my right to be wrong, or do wrong, or lie.
To give good reason for cost of learning.
The faith that gives reason its point.
To tell the truth, sheriffs were good guys,
when I was a kid, a wild little goat, indeed,
I have seen myself in seven grandchildren
and their little heathen friends, so I know,
we get more like ourselves, my mother in law said.
And now, I keep the peace, wu wei easy knowing
towb ra' beautiful efforting life demands in return,
for freely eating from all the trees in the garden, thank you.

New beginning
Of the end
Of the last
New beginnings
Dead end

Emerson and Fuller,
Thoreau and Whitman,
Again and again, it has been written:
Nothing ever ends, death is no
Impasse;
So when you’re gone we’ll look for you,
In our Leaves Of Grass.

Be the recluse,
Be the hermit,
And make your assessments of others
Based on short and fleeting interaction,
Drenched in the sweat of "purpose" & "agenda,"
And be met with statements
Which really convey nothing and rarely
Encapsulate honest thought in brevity
But are said only to end the conversation.
Close knit,
The threads choke,
Living your turtleneck life.
No collar to be turned up,
The cotton already hugs your throat;
Nothing to end abrupt,
That which never saw its start.
Those who talk
Simply to hear themselves,
Do they have anything to say?
Those with the blinders on,
They never see the entrance ramp
Neither the turn-offs
Till it's too late.

This story that began with hope I hope will end with hope
Feels hopeless
I gave up looking for answers, now I hope to find a way to cope
Denied access
The last ounce of hope left left when I decided to revisit dope
Again, I retrogress
This cat and mouse between hope and despair is an exhausting trope
I'm breathless
Dark thoughts fill the space left by hope, time to hide the rope
Chased by darkness
I don't even know exactly what sparked this
But I'm sure to end up heartless regardless
That's just me being honest

Sitting there
Supporting a friend
Dropping the note
Handing it over
To him...
For a moment
Things are okay
All is still
Then
The storm breaks loose
Standing
Bash it against the wall
Punch it, over and over
Then storming away
Pulling off the covers
Throwing it aside
Bolting...
I walk
Away
Hide
In the bathroom
Lock myself in the stall
Cornering myself
Curled up
In a ball
Of fear and confusion
This is the world we live in
This is the way things are
I feel it
Hitting me
Knocking me down
Like a wave
Where are my feelings?
Inside,
Finally showing through
It kills
I destroy what once was
I said I didn't feel it
He felt it too much
I broke him...
I broke him...
Covering my ears
Half an hour later
I am found
"Kid? Kid?"
"Hey, I found her!"
"Hey, it's okay, it wasn't your fault."
"Come here, it'll be okay."
Held by those who love me
This cause
The hurricane
Is loved?
I had a feeling in my stomach that I hated
Hearing it made it lurch
He promised
He wouldn't try
But there they were
They stopped it
Held it together
All let loose
Ran, bolted
Eventually brought away
Safe...
But what is safe?
Just promise
You won't try again...
Just promise
You'll be okay...
Just promise
You'll move on...
I know he'll never read this
Never see through my eyes
Even so
I care...
Just know I care...
I'm sorry...
I just couldn't live a lie
Crippled by who I am
And what I have become
What I did
Ended
It almost cost a life...

The whole body is a heart,
The whole heart supplies the body,
Never secure the truth with a lie,
For lies corrupt the whole,
Foundation should be solid and pure,
Every truth from a liar is void,
Here now lays ruins, the body aches,
The heart is sore with its echoes.

Remember that all things fade.
All creatures must have an end
To bear new beginnings.
And all new beginnings
Come from resolution.

I woke up and forgot it was October
On the front steps, I shook a little less
Than the last time we decided to rush
A season, shaking branches and wearing
Sweaters with the sun beating down
Tomorrow, it still won’t feel like home
But I am learning that nothing does
Except for autumn and that first cool morning
Where the air smells like it did when I was ten
Before I knew that life would ever feel as unreal
As it does now, standing on one side of a door
Stirring up the courage to pull it shut

If raindrops are formed from our chats,
The silly memes we sent one another,
Before hating each other became habit,
Surely, it might not rain again. For the better…

for if one day,
one day,
we're destined to meet again
let's pretend, that you and I,
vous et moi,
are complete strangers
who stumble upon one another for the very first time.
for the history of us,
the you and I of the old renaissance,
the you and I,
who even made Paris and Helen envious
has ceased to exist.

You drag me along
Fields of glass
Pushing my face in the
Shards resembling dirt
To your crystal cliff
Release me down
The spectral drop
Might be beautiful
If it weren’t the end
