Charred dreams

He crawls, pleading eyes
Searching through,
Ashes, still warm..
as her touch, her smile.
Did she cry,
whispered his name.
He asks the tattered sky..
Silent- desperate.

Searching, did she pray..
For him to see..
Unshed acid tears
burning her skin.

Did the angels cry,
hearing her screams.
Bones so tender,
demons crushing.

Bleeding hands, he finds
her battered soul.
The charred sparrow,
Vacant eyes – frozen hope.

He washes her scars.
With tears and regrets..
the wind cries..
A child is dead.

Farewell

I carve out
my bleeding heart
it hurts bit more
as I laugh

pain
in your silence
burns me
in the rain

regret
in your eyes
cuts me deeper than
the deepest sea

fly away home
I set you free
as I pick up the pieces
of our dream

Soulmate

Counting the years..
mirror in my hand,
I searched for you..
my shadow.

Closing tired eyes..
I kissed you my love,
as I walked with a smile..
living, performing the lies.

I try laugh so hard..
and make it look real,
they smile back ..
think they know how I feel.

I pick up the thorns..
from the velvety night,
as your fingers..
touch her ever so light.

Scalded by the moonlight..
I reached out to you,
just stop the morning..
don’t leave my dream tonight.

With the silence of my eyes..
in the whispers of the dawn.
A lifetime and a moment..
I waited for you
