Changing Silence

The world is a beautiful place.
do document the changes
the patterns, moods
flavors and smells
the atmosphere
provided by
mother
earth
god

But it hurts
in the morning
if you would know

At least
the stars say this secret—
for she is silent as we speak

COWBOY

I rid myself of his sturdy mouth,
So warm and salty,
Dripping down into my throat.
When I saw his eyes,
I saw dull rainbows,
Glistening with grey sand.
They speak so quietly as
he raised his lips again
to greet me.
I had to turn away.
No longer a mouth,
Just a chasm, gaping open,
Ready to swallow me whole
And steal all my dreams
Down into his belly
Where all his wild things go.

"Words"

Nothing but words
Falling from your mouth
Lying to me again and again
Telling me I'm beautiful and
I'll always be yours.

Nothing but words
Meaningless without emotion
Forming scars on my soul
Twisting my heart
Till I can't breathe anymore.

Nothing but words
Left in my head
Going round and round
Till I think I'll
Be dead.

Nothing but words
You left me with
Nothing but words.....

Drowning

There is no explanation.
No words can describe.

The void.
The hurt.

Left feeling empty,
filling it with wrongs.

Seeking out,
only brings pain.

Scary thoughts flit.
Could be so easy.

Drown out the pain,
crush out the lonliness.

There is no simple answer.

Catch Me

Wrap me in your arms,
let me soak up the warmth.

Your shirt catches,
the tears coursing down.

Your quietness understands
the storm raging in me.

I seek strength,
but feel weak.

I scream into the night,
but the wind catches it.

Hold me now,
be my strength.
Let me scream.
Understand my soul.
Catch me as I fall.

Not Really Gone

You were there
like a beacon of light.
Shining in the dark
a corner of sunshine.

Like a drop of water,
your thoughts made
ripples throughout.

You touched, more lives,
than you can imagine.

Your love and laughter
encouraged and lifted.

You left us so suddenly,
there was no time.

I found myself searching,
Looking to see if it was a joke.

There was no joke.
So many tears shed.

You left a legacy that
keeps giving and giving.

I am blessed to have shared
some moments, some tears.

I know you watch over us all.

We love and miss you.

Never goodbye, just until later.


In Loving Memory of Baron Ectar.

Angel Of Mercy

Sweet, you make me forget.
Angel of mercy
Take my pain
And hide it far, far away.
Sink into oblivion.
Angel, wrap your hazy arms
Around me.
A moment of pleasure
For a lifetime of pain.
Make me forget
With your sweet love,
Sweet ecstasy
I have with you.
Make me forget
My Angel of Mercy.
