Wisps of a mist of what I used to be. Barest of breaths of what I might have been. Lost to the ever quieter waters of yesteryear. Surrounded by now of what I have to own. Facing my broken vessels of my present view. My dreams, your dreams, of what could have been, Lost to … Continue reading What Could Have Been (with Audio File)

Do Not Die before you are Dead (with Audio File)
Sycamore trees bent from the Northern press, whilst the lonely river freezes on the winding portion and white caps in the middle, our souls bent in the middle seeing the dawn of living tomorrow, feeling an end of our lives.

Alone and Wanting the Dawn (with Audio File)
That first light of dawn, cold yet hopeful, I alone with the dawn, cold yet wanting, waiting for that growing brightness, slowly slowly peeking, above the all, wanting, wanting, and knowing it will be warmer, while I am still wanting. The sun, too, is alone, but is the source of all that is living, … Continue reading Alone and Wanting the Dawn (with Audio File)
A Bridge to Hearts (with Audio File)
That first touch, so long ago, that touch of a ring finger over the thumb, slowly, gently, with great caution. Guarded for rejection and recoil, your senses high. Wonder and fear all wrapped in one.

The Jealous One (with Audio File)
The one so filled with hate that he realizes not the fault he brought to his own life. The one so filled with envy that he realizes not the enemy himself.

Death After Birth (with Audio File)
And, I see the truth as it touches my heart, but confused by the devils' sights and sounds of destruction. I know the wrong. I feel the right. A gray does not exist, though lies are aplenty. If they want to kill the innocent, the ignorant, to further their power, they are not intelligent, but … Continue reading Death After Birth (with Audio File)
My Branch, My Piece of Heaven (with Audio File)
My Branch, My Piece of Heaven The sun ignores the leaves, while I tuck in a bough far above the ground. The old limb moves gently, slowly in the breeze. While I think of my life and how fresh I am. I see the grass below in lazy gaze, with my hands tucked neath my … Continue reading My Branch, My Piece of Heaven (with Audio File)
