Mid day
The rain falls gently outside
Trees lit by soft light
Pierced by cloud cover stand in the distance.

I sit here
Laptop warms my charcoal pants
Back lit screen shines upon the keys
A single ant scurries across my hand

Rue
My feline companion crosses gently
Landing upon the couch
My seat disturbed

Now
He lies upon the top
Gazing down at the screen
Watching them

Waiting
Noting how my fingers strike the keys
Scolding my lack of form
Twitching his tail in ecstasy

Looking up
I meet his eyes
He slowly turns away
A gentle purr as he departs

I sit alone now
Watching the rain
Skeletal trees through curtain
Drip sorrows upon the lawn

Crystal nothings crack
Shattering their hopeless lives
Breaking silent promises
A lone chair in the distance

White… Black
Pink
Flowers blooming overhead
Caught in a gentle mist

An empty road
Lies beyond the nothing forest
Lost in a time of its own
A time to be forgotten

Moving swiftly
Past the open door
Upon the lawn I dance
Waltzing alone

One two three
I chant in elvish tongue
As dewdrops grace my lips
Gentle breeze upon the leaves

Joining in my cry
My eyes closed to blinding rays
As clouds do part away
I leave behind

That faithful song.

The stars shine sweetly in the air
Clouds pass in ethereal silence
Gray streaks upon a black canvas
Night hangs delicately in the air
A thread of peace descends
Stillness
The air is dead
Wind absent from heart and mind.
Grass strikes an awkward pose
Lit by shallow graves
Moonlight soft and silver
Striding across the broken branches
Littering the ground they lie
Comatose
Lost in a eternal dream
Awaking only to the solemn insanity
Nothingness
Caught in a round
Chasing
The darkened clouds away
Waiting
For you.

My love
I know thy path has stung
The rocks that break thy feet
Spill out upon the trail

Blood drips upon the aching road
Marking a sign of sorrow
Pain, blinding pain
Trips the weary soul

My love I catch thee fallen
My hands will ever grasp
Clinging to thy reaching hand
Waiting

Ever waiting
To catch you as you fall.

The night passes in recollection of fate
The dawn has risen
Light has descended upon the land
Forgotten are the aching hearts

Forgotten are the darkened words
Spiraling into the abyss
They fade
Last in the ever changing world

Tomorrow
I wait again to lose
That which drags my soul
That which tears my life

Tears dry in noon day sun
Scars fade in the passing years
All forgotten
All lost

Drifting in the winds of time
Slumbering evermore
Never again
To wake

I lie here amongst the lilies
Sunlight baths the sorrowed tree
Willowed branch doth brush the mind

Resting in the shade
That hallowed darkness
Staring into the sky

Pondering here
Finding myself floating softly
Carried upon fallen petals

Arose into the sky
Clouds brush past the silent air
Flowing swiftly by daylight

Sunlight falls gently
Dying behind majestic mountain
Night descends

Final rest
Serene peace from chaos
Moonlight valley below

The wind of a thousand knives
Breaking silent sleep
A chill shatters

Shatters the softened mind
Awoken in pain
Misery doth reside

Misery, that lonely foe
Crowds the quiet eve
Finds those lacking

Lacking in the basic light
The light that breaks
Breaks the silent dark

The silent dark that falls
When she is away…

My passion burns for you
Like toast
Its crisp blackness holds our secret
It crumbles
As I before your feet
My love
Branded by that lonesome touch
I fall
Lost in bitter time
I die
Alone, so very alone
Yet so alive
You are
The orange juice by my side
That refreshing glass
I wake to
My day is naught
Without you.

Always…
Worthless
Full of eternity
Lacking in trust
Phrases fall from open lips
Uttered in silent recollection
The night is long
How I cry for its end
Daybreak brings solemn rest
Yet my mind forever ponders
Never
Not a chance this time
The days pass ever quickly
The decision falls into my path
Here or there?
I thought I loved her
I wrote of always
I dreamt of forever
Tormented by reality I perish
Falling silent I cry
Sweet melodies
Doth calm a broken heart
Sung to sleep by nature’s song
I rest.

Fools talk of love
They cry of injustice
They speak of broken hearts
Bleeding from the inside

They say you’re the one
No one else can be
So blind
So deaf to the soul

Just words
No verse can recollect
Nor mind can comprehend
Love

Love is what love is
There is no amount of time
No intellect wise
Or fool simple enough

To tell you this
Love is…

I have my love…
Those days are naught but dreams
Faded from heart and mind
Lost, never again to be

Your eyes have gone
I can no longer feel your soul
The night has taken my rest
I lie here now, shivering alone

I ask you why
Why must I be here alone?
Why am I not there
Holding that gentle hand?

I tell you now
Thou hast lost thy dreams
I have lost my hopes
For now we float away

Carried again by false memories
Carried once more in sorrowed times.

The smile, that laugh, her eyes
It pains me so
Not a deep tear, but yet I feel it
It takes me there
Beside her I feel alive
Awakened from an eon slumber
Not love I cry
Staring across the times
That day is done
That ship sunk so long ago
My friend
Don’t you see?
My past is not a simple stain
It tears me there
Inside the heart that was
It pulls me
Carries me upon false winds
Drops me on my knees
Breaking my last
Talk to me
Tell me it’s ok
Tell me that I can go
That I can leave…
You know I’d hate to
Yet I must
To save that which could have been
I must let what will….
Be.
