Written for a dear friend, whom experienced a great loss

Today


Today the earth wakes up in pain,
and weeps beneath the sky.
Storm clouds shrink into relief
of great tears they must cry.

For all hearts that are drenched in sorrow,
drowning without sound.
lost in knowing it will rain tomorrow,
as all hope goes unfound.

Today the earth wakes up in pain,
the same as days before
While moonlight rakes in murky seas,
with sand prints from the shore.
Afloat beyond the darkened wave
you sail amongst your doubt,
seeking some truth in the deep unknown,
of which truth goes without.

Today the earth will wake again,
somberly weak and bruised.
It is this day we longed for when
we faced those days we lose.

Today, while the earth stands scarred
from old wounds that remain
Dark skies break and drift apart
letting light through again.


Tomorrow when sun soothes that day
so yesterday can mend,
it remembers how the world once stopped
and wept with you, my friend.

Digging Up Old Stuff...

The Reaper

Today the reaper came to see
What this world had left of me
After pity, pause and self degrade

There was little left repaid

Is there more? I'd like to know...

Evolution of the Afterlife

I must be more than blood
And skin
A thin vale over fat
More than ligamented joints combined
I must be more than that
A brain is more than synapses
Nerves sending out a code
When the heart stops
And each vein collapses
Do all my thoughts erode?

Am I more than primal instinct?
A drive to mate and live?
If I need more than life and love
More than DNA can give?

Are we too complex to comprehend
How non-complex we are?

How simple is the heart and brilliance
Born from a massive star?

I dreamt that I was living on the edge of a cliff in a..

A glass box on a steep drop
With an ocean flowing down
No sound or sleep box
nothing all around
Air, sand and salt sea
Bareness on the rise
Clearness in the eyes be
Like fare judging skies

...

Sleep

There is no better sleep than death
No more proper cause for night
A dream that ends abruptly
Cannot flourish in the light

I have feet issues...

Ingrown


This toe is bulbous
Sore and white

Should I remove
A corner of nail
Tonight?!

What joy is extraction!
Of puss and pain
The tenderness lingers
To harden again..

Deep perennial nerve punctured
By sharpened tacks
Scraped down to the nail bed
Some stays in the cracks

Covered by puss blood
The momentum increased
Yanked along with the skin
The sharp edge released

Moist with a green tinge
From infected flesh
The cavity sits hollow
Exposed pinky fresh

Sensitive to the touch
A dull throbbing occurs

Much like the night time
When a stabbing day stirs..

I wasn't going to write it...but why not?

For You

For you there is no reason
Yet the world is not the same
An equation without answer
I have tried to solve in vain

With you, my hope is breathing
Barely living in my will
A wounded thing unfixable
I cannot think to kill

In you, the purest of hearts
Beats familiar to my soul
A longing beyond all logic
Which I could not console

For you, my days continued

while without you they won't end

Oh, how much I do miss you

My unexpected friend

For you, my eyes left useless
Only willing for one sight

For you, my love refuses
To be wrong or right.
