Poems of Loss

To have
to hold
to love
to cry

Living
Breathing
laughing
Lying
dreaming
sighing

Complacent
furtive
feelings

fears
unfounded
unbounded

Spinning
spinning
inside my head

Reality
Fragility

inconsequential
sensations
frustrations

Products
of my
imagination.

Back

A face-
one I know so well
painted upon my mind

This place-
somewhere it seems
I spend too much time

She turns-
turns again
away from me

The coldness
of her shadow

Chills me with her breeze

I reach my hand out

to beg her to stay

The action
never happens

Was only a thought
blown astray.

The stars above
in the middle of the night

The sky goes black
there is nothing
left here
for me

Feel the breeze
from the southern sea

the stars have died
for me

Speak
in the middle of the night

I can feel your lips
against mine

Feel the cool rain fall
from the storm
brewing in my eyes

Speak to me
in the middle of the night

So it comes to me-
the understanding
of surrender

To so sweetly
give up the wheel
to the juggernaut
of my journey

I no longer control
this destiny

That's my gift
being berift
of all the
responsibility
of an open heart
and smiling soul

With that sacrifice
of desire
that fueled my fire

I find myself
complete;

that is is my gift

of denial
of justicfication
of angelic love
and demonic frustration

I give freely unto Thee.

It slides over my mind
like a sweet silky glove
of nothingness.

Again, the familar feeling
of the void

lost so deep, so deep inside

until the greyness grasps
and pulls down
my tired eyes.
