TIDE

Since I left
Where you are
I have made a lover of the sea.

And on the shore
I dance
Back and forth
As the waves caress my feet.

I open my embrace
To the swelling tide
As the mighty waters
Move through my soul
Like a lover
Returning

Turning

Back and forth
With the gentle rhythm of the waves
I dance.

TEARS

He lies asleep

Fast in her embrace

As soft tears fall deep

Living, breathing

He sleeps on

Her tears break the bond

While the connection is gone

He barely stirs

As her pain is released

Broken echoes

Of times gone past

In shapes of crystals

Liquid diamonds break fast

All hope is dashed

Her body quivers

Racked with sobs

Face pressed against neck

Flesh to flesh,

Life to life

Tears fall still

Hope is gone

This life is done

The past is coming

But he awakens

Arms wrapping hard

Murmurs, whispers form

Tears fall free

Hope is gone

Morning is dawning

A new start, a new day

And he cries..

BLACK


Dark trees
frame the souls
of the graveyard.
Lively spirits
linger amongst
the comforting silence
of the stars.



REMAINS


In the void
Fluttering between
Alive and dead
Dissolving, deprived
Of your intoxication
And affirmations
A Melancholy cloud
Over my
Mind
Vapid nights
Fade
Existence heaves on
No longer alive
Happiness
Is a mask
Emptiness
Swells inside
Conquering with totality
Leaving me
Tattered
And marooned
Floating
Out of view
As a ghost
