Fading

Even wild things

sit in absolute

and total reverence

for the fading

of a day.

-Tyler Knott Gregson

Soothe me

I keep on forgetting

Please tell me again

I need to hear it

Just one more time

It keeps slipping

away from my mind

It's your voice in the wind

Your cry in the sigh

I know it, that's true

But I need to hear it

From you

I keep on forgetting

So say it again

Please say it

Until I believe it again.

Surviving the dark

My goodness!  It seems I've survived a very dark period back in 2003.  Some heavy stuff here from my agonized soul:

Close your eyes

Take a deep breath

If you can still breathe

Find it there

The old hollow me...

A shuddered heartbeat

Knocking the bones

Pumping dark tears

All through my soul

Your voice in my head

Supposed to be warm

Brings coldness forth

Your intent, a storm

Swallowing me

Spitting me up

Rejecting me...

Gone fishing

Birds talk to me
