LostI lost the pain
in my heart today,
the red hot burning
simply, went away.
Black smoke fills
where once was flame,
the desire to enkindle,
in my soul,
no longer stays.
ExtinguishingEveryday,
I see less of the world.
The experts say
it will only get worse.
My vision is slowly
slipping away.
Skies, once blue,
now look gray.
If I stare at your beauty,
don't take offense,
I'm merely soaking
the essence in.
Your curves
your smile
the glint of your skin,
too soon
I will never
see them again.
With each diminishing
new sunrise,
I see my world
with what's left
of my eyes.
I try my best
all the beauty
to absorb,
until the day,
I will see no more.
ErodingEarly years
reminded me
of impending final
destiny
into shadows
no escape
going now to meet my fate.
SeamsOne at a time
so carefully placed,
the bricks that built
my hiding place.
Each one mortared
with tears and pain,
never pleasant
always rain.
So tall the walls
inside I stay,
building courage
to leave one day.
The story of my life is here
engraved in stone
my hopes,
my fears.
When times are tough
I count the marks
that scar the seams
around my heart.
With better days
I see the light,
to venture out,
I bury the fright.
The fabric of my soul
is stained,
with salt from tears
and blood from pain.
Better days
so far and few,
the torment strangles
the child I knew.
He hides inside
and trusts in me
to show him the
AwayCount the strings
before they snap,
tied to my heart
the strands of burlap.
Sift through the threads
of my fibrous being,
like the essence
of an eloquent lacing.
Number the lines
of corded rope
holding the last
true vestige of hope.
Score the miles
between you and I
short in distance
but high as the sky.
