Quiet

The claws are sharp,

they have ripped the flesh.

The mark is stained,

With hidden pain still fresh.

New faces in repeated scenes,

shallow voices now are balnk.

What was quite,

now lies rushed.

Become or denounce,

your being begs anew.

The sounds run away,

the quite has found its day.

Change

The rain is falling now,

it cleanses the sorrow.

Shades of brown and blue,

painful thoughts are pushing through.

The agony rises and tears like a saw,

the horizon is shallow but reaps so raw.

Wait. Wait. Will change come soon?

Trials of life are my boon.

Experiences are plentiful,

wisdom now soars while deafining silence counters.

We sought no...

Chimes

Whistling chords slip on night's wind,

we have traversed here from the end.

Stillness presses that hardended darkness,

a spark ignites withering thoughts.

Swaying, singing, dancing through trials,

shimmering sounds of echoed time.

Hush the breath of borrowed life,

floating on the sparrow's strife.

Gleaming, glaring to smite all folly,

it rounds the da...

Affirmation

Loose ends tied in chaos,

slidng through a veiled edge.

Trite silence hinders thought,

time is fading.

Laughter sets a smooth trough,

mist fills this numbed hole.

Now the rivers flood,

the warmth is gone.

Skipping memories tunnel the darkness,

veiled illusions by persisting denial.

Walk still,

the tide comes.

Why can't I see you?

The stigmatism in my eye,

flares to burn again.

Yet I have no sight,

I lost it that night.

I turn your there, 

I turn you here.

Why does the owl,

not Whoo.

I'm drifting now,

I see from down-high.

I see you friend,

your time not a waste.

We must return,

lest we hear the return call.

Goonight dear friends,

For my son:

Quite now child,

the light has gone.

Drift now child,

the day is won.

Sleep now child,

to you no harm be done.

Dream now child,

let your world run wild.

Time's Up

Is it time, must we go?
Yes, the voice replies, I'm afraid so.

Are you sure, can't we make it stop?
No, the voice replies, time has abandoned us.

But why, what for, is all lost?
Time is relevant, but comes at a cost.

That's the point, that right there!
What point, ask the voice, please do share.

Life is dull and mute but grand and full,
I gave you one chance, now sow ...

Suffering

Shadows of memories, 
dancing on my brow.
Anguish from betrayal and pain, 
all has become dark as I have drowned.
I see her everywhere I turn,
her suffering now mine begging to learn.

Rivers of tears, 
cased in glass as all begin to shatter.
Soon, soon and the world won't matter.

My souls crys out, what have you done
I whisper back, "ruined everyone".
The sun has gone b...
