In The Light

I am sorry for your
loss which has hit
you d e e p .
I want you to
remember good times
of her when you were
both smiling laughing
she would want that.
I know you remember
her laugh so keep
that in your soul
and hold onto it.
For those bad days
for it will get you
through those moments.
Just to let you know
she is looking down
from above.
She is now that angel
that you loved.
She is guarding you.
She is smiling at
you guiding you through.

The Darkest Rose

Less fear scares me as dark shadows enclose
Under black shroud of a widow's blind-fold
Wearing the scent of summer's darkest rose
Blooms in a lonely field that death foretold

Eyes never drying when tears stop their flow
Nothing is as moist as the mourning dew
Nor stark the color of carrion crows'
Coal black feathers turning purplish-blue

Sick in my grief was love lost in the grave
More vulnerable yet lest I ever dreamed
Continuous fear wearing down depraved
Bitterness cast from the nets unredeemed

May ones' good life be made from what's gone past
Living in sweet dreams that forever last

About this poem:
Such is an emptiness now found in the New England woods this time of year. Visting the grave of my mother, this sonnet is very darkly reflective of my suffering a deep loss, followed by a timeless bitter mourning from a death so deeply personal. Perhaps only in our dreams can such sadness be balanced by the celebration of another happier time in life and also with the hope of her eternal love.

i appoligize for how i sometimes am

And i appologize for way i sometimes act,im just all alone in a world where everything i loved seems to never stay and makes it hard to sometimes not lose my way. Now in a new place i have to start all over again,as my soul sometimes cries for it all to end.but the emptiness of my saddness has given me a beauty that is not mine for me to keep,so i give to the souls that i see weep.so eat of my words whatever may be ur meat and spit out the grisle that u do not need to keep.for it is my love that has no family for it to live, so to strangers i freely give...and i dont ask for nothing in return ,for when it helps i can handle its burn. Now uve met me, but how i look from the outside i cannot see.so thats why i ask for u to one day say what u see as u look at me.for i know that i cant not see all of me the way that i need,so i use three. How i see myself,how others see me ,and how i really am.for theres many more to use but those r my three i use to best see me.for if my view of reality isnt not acturate then none of my efforts will turn out right for its all that i am that i put in the fight to protect myself from the monsters that no longer belong just to the night.including the one who hides out of my sight,the one i cannot see even the one thats trapped behind the wall with me that i built long ago to keep to others out,only to realize that behind my walls no one could never hear me shout.for i screamed out loud only for to make no sound so alone in my prison me and my monster i found.

ever been afraid of being all alone I'm the dark

Have u ever been afraid of being all alone In the dark? What if since the time u where a kid when life took away ur light ,uve been trapped in an eternAL nite.well when I was alil boy my mom died and with her so did the joy .aNd even tho she's been dead for most of my life and my family split up from All the strife ,I've been alone in a world I roamed looking for something to call home.not the kind where u hang up ur hat ,but the one where ur heart is safe to be sat .for ,like I said in the other poem about a love that has no family in which it to live so to strangers I freely give.but that does not fill the yearning of my heart ,for a taste of WhaT it gives, I've torn the world apart.even transformed some of it into beautiful art.but ,not even that could fill much of the hole that has been torn into my soul.so I searched in everyone who's paths have crossed with mine, intertwing my soul with theirs to see if they could bine. Tho its match is yet to find .so alone in my soul my emptiness still dwells, so to u its secrets i will tell. And if this approach comes across as being needy im sorry thats not for what it cries,and I don't blame u if it makes u have to fly, that's the chance I have to take, til one day I figure it out and the curse i can break .

Good Bye Dear Friend

Everything in this life is ours, briefly.
Those we love are sometimes taken too soon.
My mind hasn't wrapped around your parting,
I think as I stare at the haloed moon.

I have all these fond memories of you,
when we were struggling to find some peace.
Trying to make sense of broken dreams then,
and learning to make the craziness cease.

Know I will miss you with all of my heart!
Thank you for being the friend that you were.
I'll always remember the blessings shared,
and I'll not allow those fine lines to blurr.

About this poem:
In memory of a very special woman: Donna W. Dear friend of 22 years. I found out tonight my dear friend had passed from an ongoing struggle with lung disease. The end came quickly and it's a reminder to us all to live well, laugh often and love without condition. Yesterday was the one year anniversary of the sister's passing. If there is someone you haven't forgiven in this life, do it. If someone seeks forgiveness from you, grant it. It's a win win situation. A moment of silence for all of us feeling the sting of loss right now. Blessings.

Desert Rose

In the middle of the darkness there was a quiet glow
I followed all the footsteps of those who saw it before
Many walked this way but it only seemed a few have made it back
And the closer that I was the more that sorrow filled my flask
It was a never ending journey that lead me to so alone
Beneath a different twilight far away from home
I could hear the drops of many tears falling in the distance
Silencing my own so that I will make it through this
Finally in the middle I reached to touch this quiet glow
And its calmness overwhelmed me but in return it took my soul
And as I fell down to my knees and I understood why many stayed before
So I stood back on my feet and said to death I fear no more
As I kissed death on its lips it said now be on your way
And it gave me back my soul and my night returned to day

alan

these thoughts are for alan be they happy or sad /for he walked the earth never knowing the love that he had/ alan tryed to stand tall and though his father did see in his mind this accomplishment was never to be/he was more quiet than others / more loving than some what once was dazed and confused now is comfortably numb/happy and contented was what he wanted to be and i know god can give this now alan is free

Redemption

Once in the grey yearning
And awful lonliness
Of widowhood
I thought
That if a woman climbed in my bedroom window
I mignt pass out.
Now I know
That if one did
I would. consy

Forget

I know burdens
Always living in fear
When Lord all I needed was you near

But Your presence was so hopeless
There was though that monkey on my back
When all I wanted was to relax

Then I killed and I will kill
Only to repent
God just please make me forget

Those faces in my head the voices of the dying
And please stay with me tonight until I forget the crying
