Loss is never easy
-and it's especially hard when it's sudden
-unexpected
When the person had so much more life to live
And, way more love to still give
When you watch as the people you love silently suffer
-then eventually break down/fall apart/cry
When the tears stream down your child's face
-as he says goodbye to his very Best Friend
You realize how short it all is..
-Life
RIP, Beautiful!

(Not sure where I am going with this):
It had pained me
-my dream
And, as I awoke heavy hearted,
-mistaken
-misplaced
-misguided
-misinformed
I smiled
I smiled to myself brightly
As though awake for the very first time
As though I had eaten from the Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil
It was as though I didn’t care
I didn’t care!
And, as I breathed in the coolness all around me
As darkness turned into light
As the morning sunlight shown in through the slightly opened window
I glanced around.
Fully awake now
-fully engulfed within the possibilities of everything that I could now be
And, it was worth it.
-all of it!
The failure that lay behind me;
It was worth it all to kiss it goodbye….

My train goes just around the bend.
To a place so non-existence
-and reminiscent
A secret hidden within
Unshared
And, I’m alone
A Vagabond
A Hobo
And, I’m off to where my childhood wishes have no sorrow
Where everything shines new
-like the Spring
Undiscovered
Untainted
Untouched
And, I can smell the freshness of the air
-just a whiff
-within my senses
It reminds me & remains… True
And, it doesn’t desert me
And, it isn’t afraid of the consequences
And, it doesn’t hide behind a veil of indifference
It only stays
-for a longer duration -
Longer still then a mere moment…………….

La-Dee-Dah..
La-Dee-Doh..
I'm baking cookies
-I'm pouring tea
I'm careless
and my heart is free
I'm a child no more than the age of six
-counting dolls and pick-up sticks
I'm here and now
I'm smiling -see
My heart is far from being broken
And, everything is wheee..
Mother and Father are so proud now
For their daughter is all the rage/the wow.
And, I'm pretty
Look at my eyes
-they glow
I'm everything the world will ever want to know.
And, they'll all call me a beauty
and, they'll all smile at me
And, all the prospects of what I may turn out to be
And, I'll marry someone, a man someday
-Oh wow!..
And, I'll forget who I was/am, and the how...

Note: I do not hate Men.. I am not bitter.. I don't believe in Marriage... Why spend a lifetime struggling to define yourself. Only to one day become someone or something else?

It was Seasonal
-your glance
And, it reminded me of Moonbeams,
Candycanes,
Kittens,
and stuff that never lasts
-often goes away too quickly
Turning into and onto something else
Loosing it's flavor
And, growing old.........

My head is spinning
-out of control
Thoughts unwinding
-as memories roll
In and out
All over again
A time,
A past,
A me,
A then
And, as these hands touch my-
Tear stained face that once was dry
Just when I think I am over it then-
Back here I am once again
Bearing my soul in sweet surrender
A time we shared
Something to remember
And all that’s over
And all that’s done
Retreats/Repeats and weighs a ton…

It was rusty
-the blade
And, my pulse quickened
-as my hands trembled
Darkness had fallen all around me
Laden with despair
-and the confusion of a child
The Sheets
-ripped
-blood stained
And, I thought:
“What happened here?”
Just a thought, really
-without answer
My voice muffled to a silent lull
I could not speak
-but could sign it out for you
As my fingers formed
-took shape
A Dove flew by
-perched
-and, flew away with beauty in it’s grip…

She crept within the small place
An ancient passage in her mind
Tiny bubbles forming
-of thoughts she'd left behind
And, all the while she wondered
Missed the fragrance of yesterday
And, nothing she could take with her
-or wish on, would ever really stay
But, the sunshine did creep fourth
Lighting up the covered hill
Of love and empty promise
One that would mature with time still
And, what about the embankment?
Something she could not cross
Love's wilted imperfection
Nothing forever is lost...
