Tormented Solitude

The emptiness
within my soul
lingers
as if it were a shadow
in need of light
and I shiver
from the imperfect chill of the gray sky's bitterness
alone

In this tormented solitude
I scream
to the deaf ears that have left me yearning
I plead
to the hands that once touched me
hoping
and in a whispered silence
beg your absence
to please
just try
one more time

Memories
try to understand why
as my heart mimics the uneven lines of clouded darkness
forming above me
I close my eyes . . . the anticipation of rain
I want to feel
it'��s sadness wash over me
to grasp
each drop that falls
so that I can remember
what it feels like
to have something to hold onto
if only for
an achingly brief moment

I Felt Them Rise

I felt them rise
from the depths of my now hollowed heart
burning with pain and anger
rising
and then falling
one drop
by one drop
until they were a raging free flowing river of why

I felt them rise
tormenting me
as they journeyed from my thoughts
to my anguish
leaving my soul as dark as the night without a star
helpless
lost
and without hope
empty

I felt the tears rise
from deep within my chest
rising
until they found the confusion in my eyes
and from there
they fell
sadly
painfully
one drop
after one drop
as the part of me
that was you
faded as quietly as the day ended

Different


I could hear the echoes
as I stared intensely at the figure
crying tortured tears

Hands shaking
trying to recreate the an alternate existence
so that the words
would no longer feel as cutting
as the pain they've caused

Yet
the echoes continue
as if they were designed
to humiliate
to torment
an already imperfect soul

There are choices
that can hide the disfigurement of self-loathing
caused by friendly strangers
darkness forever
loneliness
or a knife that would tell my story
and end their laughter

I know I am different
I hear their words
every day
and every night
as if they accompany me throughout my life'��s travels
they are the reason
I stare
intensely
at the figure in the mirror
wondering
if they know
just how much hurt they've caused

Is love enough
when the weight of it
forces you to your knees?

Heaven hears my prayers,
but answers with a quiet stillness,
that shivers down my spine






Not finished






Well hurry up and finish!!!! You have me waiting and you know that's the hardest part of life

Angry


I am the bastard
you left alone
crying
wondering
if by chance I did something
to deserve your absence

I lived each new day
with the same fear
that I will never be good enough
to be your offspring
you see I admired you even without ever knowing you
because I needed to believe
that somehow
I was no different from anyone else

I am the bastard
you left alone
hurt
confused
growing into an angry adult
lost in a world of never knowing what it meant
to have a father
who loves me

The Water’s Fall

Lungs shivering
searching for that elusive breath
between
the tears
years
and the unfortunate remains
of what we have left

I still want to remember
that beautiful place once called home
and the broken promises
of never being alone
the sacrifices
even as the breaths slowly began to fade
gasping
fighting
trying
to hold onto the family we made

But the nothingness
of so many of the same today's
turned our yesterdays
into a tomorrow
that was desperately too far away
I'��m drowning
in this madness
this sadness
dark notes playing out a melody
of the worst kind of emptiness

I always believed
you would take my breath away
I just never thought
it would be this way
I know
I waited too long
swimming upstream
through the circumstances
trying to hold on
to what I thought mattered
never realizing
my soul was battered
but as I stand
in the rain
wondering about it all
trying to capture that elusive breath
when the reality of my life
is that I'��m living the water's fall

Air and Love

My soul
could feel the wind'��s absence
it was as if
there was no air to breathe
no rush of life
to lift me up to the heavens

My soul
could feel the emptiness
even though my heart
continued to beat
as if life
was as it should be

And I ask myself how

How
and why
screaming because of the pain
and yet the truth is
I don'��t want to know . . .
the answer is irrelevant
and I don'��t want to continue
contemplating our memories either
because it hurts so much
yet I can'��t help but remember
your breath
gently reminding me with the kiss of life
what love felt like

Once Again

I sometimes
find myself reaching out
grasping
for the wind
hoping
maybe
that it would take me
away

I close my eyes
and dream
the thousand dreams of soaring
towards the sun
and sometimes
even somewhere
where life is just dark enough
to hide my beautifully scarred imperfections

And it wouldn'��t matter
if it were a cold temperamental rage
as his love once was
or simply a warm breeze without a direction
as I yearn for now
it doesn'��t really matter just as long
as it takes me away
to somewhere
faraway
to a place where
I am not the act of hate burned into my soul
or even the person
who overcame
what love can sometimes do
you see
I simply want to be
me
once again

Life, Uh, It'��s Going to Happen

Rest assured
that at some point
whether expected
or unexpected
it'��s going to happen
the cause could be lietose intolerance
or fool poisoning
or dumbarrhea
it's going to happen

But ...
how you handle it
defines who you are
are you the one ply single roll person
who lets it soil their mood
or are you that two ply double roll
with wipes for added protection
so nothing
not even the crap life throws at you
can change who you are person

Just saying
it's going to happen


Ok so that one line should read
change who you are as a person. Yeah I was tired and didn't proof read anything. Work too much. and KC and Foursure thanks bunches

Dream'��s Awakening

The open windows
made the room seem as if it were
a sensual darkness of filtered city lights and summer heat
depicting our entwined souls
as shadows
moving to the rhythm of the swaying curtains

Beads of sweat
roll down your spine like an elegant rain
begging
and pleading
for intimacy
to quench passion'��s thirst
I taste you
slowly
and intentionally
as you grip the sheets as if you were a prisoner
bound my hunger's rage

I can feel you shiver
even in the warm night air
as the sounds of me entering you
deeper
and deeper
fill the room with an unmistakable reality
that this is my dream's awakening

Once Again

I
feel
the cold
even in the sun'��s
warmth

It'��s
as if
I'��m
standing
in the rain'��s sorrow
falling

Crying
tears
over the hate
that was supposed
to love me
because once again
it has
hurt me

Undress

May I
undress
your moods
starting with your
fears

I want to
slowly remove
each layer
of doubt
until I reveal
your hidden secrets

Next
would be
your memories
and if you let me
anything that was once bitter
will soon be sweet

And if you
allow
my hands to remove
the things that hold you back
I promise you
my soul will cover your weaknesses
with soft
sensual
kisses
that would travel
deeper into your soul
than every drop of the ocean’s rhythm

So may I
please
undress your moods
so that we can discover
love
unlike it’s ever been before

Liquid

It was as if
her soul
was this liquid potion
sweet
satisfying
and addictive

Every movement
her body made
seemed to flow as she were a waterfall
free
raging
and yet calm enough to ease my tensions

And she taste
like a cherry
covered in the most delectable of chocolates
so dangerously enticing
that I can’t imagine
a fruit more forbidden than her love’s flow

The Other Side

I sat alone
studying my thoughts
from the perspective of Jack . . . single malt
straight

Across from me
on the other side of the bar
was a glass of vodka
maybe gin
or some other clear elixir on ice
accompanying silent thoughts

I sip my poison
and feel the burning sensation
deep in my chest
and wonder what troubles my distant drinking partner

I laugh to myself
knowing
that his problems aren’t anywhere close to my turmoil
and I watch him sip his poison
without looking up

I tap the bar
almost at the same time as he does
and in unison “another one”
like a distant conversation between to two people
from two different worlds
brought together by a similar need to ponder why

And then I wonder
maybe
just maybe
he thinks his reasons for being at the drinking table
are more than my burdens
I take a sip . . . if he only knew

Then for a brief moment
as if we’re toasting each other’s troubles
nod to one another
without a conversation because the distance
between where I am
and where he sits
is too far

At night
The stars reflect on the day
The people
The freshly fallen snow

There is a boundless emptiness
That sits beyond them
Among them
....waiting...for a star to be born

It's not about being the brightest
The biggest
The best
It's about a balance
Equilibrium

So many notes make up a symphony
One note
...misplaced
..forgotten
Could throw off the melody of time

But when each note is played phenomenally
The earths song is sung
Oh so gracefully a symphony is written and named...
LIFE

Sometimes but only sometimes
A star is born
Uncommon
But never unnoticed

It falters...flickers...and falls
Misinterpreted, misdirected...mistaken

Some wish on her, the fallen star.
One
That doesn't come often,
But when it does, the soul that encounters it is never quite the same. Warmer. calmer. Liberated.

Taken away
For a moment
Lost
For a split second

But isint that what dreaming is all about?
Being lost in a moment.

In the night, the stars reflect on the day
The people
The freshly fallen snow
Lost
Somewhere inside the boundless emptiness
That sits beyond them, and among them
Waiting
To see this star that was born



I really like this . . . makes you think just a bit. Can't wait to read more of your work
