“Black Tears and a Blue Mist”

The silence on the wind fills my ears as I realize the dead have gone quiet and no longer sing. No more whispers of how to find peace, no more secrets of how to rest at ease. Just me and the dog that is burning the flowerbed, just me and my dreams, which will no longer be said.

Red pain gone away as the flowers stain to black, the tears roll out and show the true color of my soul and what it does lack. I look upon the claws of my love that have torn apart my hope as I realize I am no longer in chains but the thorns continue to grow.

There is no reason to rise because my home can no longer be found; it has been lost to me when it was swallowed in the shroud. The mist has turned to Blue to remind me of her eyes as the color of the haze continues to mock the sky.

The Moon is washed away, the last glimmer fades from view as I realize at last, there is nothing for me to do. Sweet Maiden dancing with dreams, embracing them as if they were truth and I am left with nothing except with my longing and feeling like a fool.

“What I Took From You”

I sit and wait

and try to be patient

but it is so hard

because I am losing

faith in my life.

How can I make it right,

the things I did wrong,

when the power is taken

out of my hands

and people still refuse

to see the light?

Bright eyes in the night,

now this blind man can see

but the truth is useless

if people won’t even look at me.

I want to try again,

to get a second chance

but there is nothing I can do,

if you run away from the past.

I love you completely,

mind, body, heart and soul,

and I am really sorry for the crime

of never letting you know.

I hope it’s not too late,

you haven’t found someone else

but I understand if you did

because I gave you no other choice.

My fear drove you away

and my love ruined your life

but someday I hope I am worthy

of a kind thought or two,

someday I hope I am worthy

of the heart I took from you.
