Frost crunches beneath my feet
Sodden leaves weep and weep
Fall has come bare bones are cold
The sun shines but no warmth
In this season’s end
I behold.

Frost Crunches Beneath My Feet
October 28, 2013
I Struggle
April 24, 2013I struggle with what I know
I struggle with life
A life I don’t know.
I struggle with honour
And a love to keep
Close to my heart.
I struggle never to weep
Or be lost in the depths
Of someone else’s heart.
I struggle here
I struggle there
Not knowing where to start.
Yes, I struggle
I do so struggle
Here within my head and heart.

I Close My Eyes Just To Feel My Heart
November 12, 2012Dedicated to Sue, who has lost her beloved horse, Yorkie.
Our thoughts are with you.
I close my eyes just to feel my heart
Feel the pain
Please make it to depart
Lost to all never more to be
The call I loved and adored from thee.
Feel the sadness reign
Beginning down the path
Of no gladness, ecstasy
Only sadden, weeping pain.
You have gone, lost to me
Remorse is not the word
I need or want to see
Tears once of joy shattered
Left, gone no more to employ
Only rivers long, tragic and so deep
Flowing with overwhelming sadness
Do they weep.
Brought down to my knees
Blows of anguish
Anger
Morose disbelief.
Truly thought you’d live forever
Now know is never going to be
Love you ever
Ever please believe
Wanted never
You to leave me never
Ever leave me never please.
Now gone I oh so weep
I steep my heart in sorrow
Feel your presence and
Tomorrow I’ll close my eyes
Just to feel my heart
As it bleeds and weeps.

I Have Been This Place Before
October 3, 2012
I have been this place before
I have stood upon the shore
Of destitution.
I have seen my heart soar
Into skys forever more
Cradled in the reality
Of hope.
I have been this place before
Weep not, weep not
For this has been my life
Throughout the toil
Joy and strife.
I have been this place before
And will remain here
For evermore.
Come join me
We will dance a jig
I have been this place before.

Slowly I Weep
September 21, 2011Slowly I weep, embracing all the sadness I feel
Then turning it loose, to fly away on the wind
Scattered to the corners of the universe
Never to be experienced again.
Only tenderness, joy and happiness
Reside where sadness once ruled.
