Waiting
As I Sit before the Sea
What seems to be Eternity
I Cast My Gaze… oh so Far
I Know The Sun…
Is Sure to Fall
I Reach and Grab… What seems a Sail
It’s Just a Wind… A Wave
Perchance a Cloud
Tears wont come…
No Not now…
It Seems, perhaps… I’ve Forgotten how
I Close my Eyes…
The Colors Fade
Without Love…
I’ll Surely End

Sadness
Sadness is here…
How long it stay
Alone I fall
Black Ice Crack
Swim Deep…
Out of Breath now
Tears won’t Come
They Pity Me Not…
Not one shed of Relief…
I Start to Bleed… Watch not
I will not…
I… Shall not
Appoligize
And so I need
The Warmth…
Of the Wounded Heart…
The Fallen Star
For me… No Ark
I Spin to Face you…
And Offer you this
I Strike at Thee…
With Eyes so Dark
I Take Thine Breath
Your Last…
I Release you
My Pain is my own…
Not yours to Bare
You are Unharmed… I Swear
I Stare with Vacant Gaze…
The Light Behind The Green…
Has gone out

Light From Dark
Like Blackened Wood…
Full of Green Light
The Splinters Strike my skin…
Time Slows
The Blackness is all around me…
But there is Light
I Have Not been here
It is… Unfamiliar
There is More to Life than we know…
Our day to day…
There is more
I stagger forth…
I hardly know
I have Lost People…
Greater than I Thought I’d ever know…
I have Loved Angels…
And Weeped in Storms…
Of Pitch Black, Wavy hair
The losses I’ve known…
The Losses
I know

Teardrops
Get Up…
I Lay there in the Black…
Unable to move
No good will come of it
It Insisted
It Will consume you…
I care not…
For I grow Weary…
He reaches down…
I begin to sink
His constant tugging
What is it…
It Questioned
Move on…
There is nothing left
Done your best
And yet…
Hope… Put Out
I am… Put Out
It comes
Escape…
Upon me
He throws himself…
And we are one
And I am…
Done

Truth
It Has Not Come…
It Will Not Come
And so The Dream Steps Forth
To take the Brunt
Of what you can not Tell
Of What you will not Say
Is this Right?
Is This all
I Can Wait no more
The Truth is…
You are gone
And No Other Truth
Would change this
I will not pretend it doesn’t still hurt
Or that I have truly Forgiven you
How can I…
When the Truth is not Fully known…
Can Not be Fully Told
And so it lingers on
This Pain
What once was Fear…
Is Replaced by Silence
What Once I Held Dear…
Dust

Shadows
As I sit here, Legs Crossed, Head Down
Dragging my Fingers across these Grey Sands of Time Gone by…
I think of the Many You
Your Long Red Hair…
Your Green, now Brown Eyes
A Cool Warm Breeze crosses my Brow
Around me are the many Stars of Hope
Each Gazing… Each Watching
Only they know the Wearing of my Heart
I was only a young child when I first sought you out
You walked me to the Nurse when I felt ill…
You hunted me down, and I let you catch me
I watched you play… I watched you grow, and change
But each day my Heart Longed for something more…
That Kiss Goodnight… That Long, Deep Look
The Parting of your Red Lips
The Warmth of Your Touch, and Meaningful Breath
And Yet you eluded me
And I grew… And changed
You nearly Harmed Me, but I moved away
You tried to Scar me, I would not Stay
In the Middle of the Night, it’s you that touched my hair
Spoke my name
Made me well… And Calm… And Home
I Long to Hold you once again…
Instead I sit here… Legs Crossed…
Head Down…
Fingers in the Sand
With only Shadows of you… And you… And you

~Blue~
My Heart’s just not in it…
What is it you ask
My mum hit 70 in August
With that I rolled
Age is a Mindset…
Or so I’m told
I love my Life
I Really do
Perhaps that’s the Problem
I start to cry
I am Strong
Forever Young
Three Cardiologist Appointments in One Week?
Alright, I’m done
I try to Surf Light
I do quite well
Despite this Black Wave
To spite this Swell
I sit on the floor
Look at these hands
Why can’t they Write
I’ve so many Plans
In my Greatest Imagination
Yes, in all that I Wield
The thing I want most
Is out of my Field
I love you Mom… Don’t go anywhere… Not yet… Stick it out for another 20 or so… I have so much to share… I’ve only just begun
Your Son James
