Mind has been silent

            Was a much needed reprieve

Now it speaks again

Close Your Eyes

Close your eyes

As the sun descends

Bringing to us the night

Feel me

I’m next to you

Even if under different skies

I take your hand.

Close your eyes

And feel my touch

As subtle as the breeze

Gentle

A hint of warmth

Threatening to overtake

I desire you.

Close your eyes

And feel my lips

Brushing against yours

Tenderly

Sweet embrace

Changing in intensity

I take you in.

Close your eyes

And hear my voice

Can you still remember

My sound?

Words spoken

Does it continue to resonate?

I whisper to you.

Close your eyes

Be here with me.

Skin

I now see the numerous scars
covering your beautiful body
with the finest of lines
that can be read much like brail
unequivocally telling your story
why have I never seen them before?
but now I cannot ignore.

To exchange one’s skin
to rip it away from the flesh
such a burning desire
but one that can never be realized
and everything that it has been through
shall be a permanent reminder
of what has been.

Your expression shows me
how you struggle for each breath
skin slowly tightening
around your protruding bones
almost transparent in its consistency
ready to tear under duress
ready to split at any moment.

You search out your reflection
trying to make sense of it all
but you can’t and instead
you are harrowing your mirror
covering my eyes to spare me your tears
but I have already decided
I cannot leave you here.

I will take away what hurts
I will smooth out the scars.

Above The Surface

Darkness invites my spirit
Into its solitary realm
With its empty promises
Taking my life by the helm
Light harder to see
Dragging me farther away
My reflection no longer me
Gone is the light of day

The ignorance of memory
The dissipation of the soul
In search of forgiveness
I’m trying to let go
Felt with every breath
Each step brings it closer
Feeling its true depth
Much needed closure

And with the rising sun
My eyes I must shield
Here above the surface
Finally the walls have yield
I have found my way
Back amongst the living
The warmth I must say
Is so much more giving

*I am not big on rhyming, but this one just seemed to flow that way

In My Head

All I hear
In my head
Is your beautiful voice
It has everything
I’m searching for
And the story it tells
Will get me through
Another desolate night.

Different Faces of Silence

Sometimes the silence
is deafening, mind 
piercing and unbearable.
At other times the silence
is soothing, mind
depressurized and welcomed.
What I need to find is a
happy medium, mind
neither about to explode nor go numb…

Why?

Your purpose is to dispel 
my inflictions
To wipe clean my slate,
to steal the key that belongs
to the door of my past.
Instead you drag me deeper
within,
leaving me unsure if I will be
able to drag myself out
next time,
door left wide open. 
All I ask is why,
with never a response…

Waiting Room

I’m sitting here,
waiting,
anticipating what
this appointment
will bring. 
Even though I know
every second Wednesday 
I will be here,
I still can never prepare
for what’s to come.

Sneezing can be good
              I love the release, but please
Not ten in a row!!!

Marionette

I was your marionette
movements cannot be anticipated
totally dependent on you
to choose which strings to operate
to make me dance.

And even in death
I awaited your manipulations
still unable to move
without your precise directions
of how to be.

But now I cut the ties
no longer being there upon your stage
I shall no longer dance
to the tune you so hauntingly sang
from the grave.
