Inspired by a scene in "Forsaken"

Copyright Jan.13, 2014 "Forgive Me When I Cannot Stay" Forgive me when I cannot stay, When I cannot be there for you at the end of another day. When the thunder passes by, Leaving all in silence in the land or in the sky. Forgive me when I cannot stay, When all the last breaths have been breathed... Sign in to see full entry.

"Forsaken" chapter introductions continued

Copyright Jan.10, 2014 I gaze into the blank page, Wishing these words to take wing, Riding upon the winds of thought, Into the sunset of memories. Yet, if this wish were granted, And all my deepest regrets could be spoken, All the unexplainable yearnings written between, The lines on every life... Sign in to see full entry.

From "Forsaken" (Chapter introductions)

Copyright Jan.8, 2013 There are those that I have known, That were like suns that came up in a breathless dawn, Which, being constantly polished, At the last, In the sunset of their golden day, Glittered so brightly that I could not look. Though they are gone, They left their glow upon my memory,... Sign in to see full entry.

The poetic introductions to the chapters in "Forsaken".

Copyright Jan.6, 2014 I watched the day die in the twilight arms of shadowed Earth, Crimson light fast turned to gray, Marching darkness across my way. And, like those unrelenting shadows, Darker rage descends, Wrapping me in its black and heavy shroud, Filling my inner ears, With unrelieved and... Sign in to see full entry.

Forsaken

Copyright Jan.2, 2014 How perfectly my heart reflects, The liquid sorrow that runs Down the face of the world; Filling my soul from its deep wells... Waves of rememberance washing over The beaches of contemplation, Come from the Sea of Sorrows... How can I console these Yesterdays Weeping at my... Sign in to see full entry.

Precious Family

Copyright Dec.30, 2013 Special and precious family to me, Time cannot dull the edge of my love for you, Even as the days pass closer together, Veiling individual moments in their blur, Evening and morning as spinning kalidescopes all astir. Love does not grow old, It's true increase cannot be told.... Sign in to see full entry.

Cries In The Dark

Copyright Dec.27, 2013 I tell the tale of those who cry out in the dark. Being fallen from grace, No one knows their true story, Hidden from the eyes of the world by walls and bars. No one knows their true face, Steeped in pain and misery. "No one will know," says the State, "If we neglect another... Sign in to see full entry.

You Came to Me Like The Dawn

Copyright Dec.24, 2013 You came to me like the dawn, Bringing defeat, with your love, to all description. Siezing my heart. childlike; Making me a stranger to myself. I have never been afraid of the dawn... until now. Some power blows over the billion holes in me, Unendurable music, Groping in me to... Sign in to see full entry.

Instant Spring

Copyright Dec.20, 2013 Reckless rhyme lies recumbent in the truly thoughtful hour, All the heedless, headlong trampling slows to a dull stamp, Childhood shorn of its power. Mature experience upholds its rusty lamp, Turning all my laughter-echoes rusty red, And tired memory, uncaring, throws up... Sign in to see full entry.

Erase Not My Wrinkles

Remember me when memory begins its slow fade, And Times' hands have moved half-past my shade. One half wishing Time to turn back, Hoping that all my old shadows Be pushed back into the old tree in the glade. So happy that I will not have to live in this human skin again. so wrinkle me Time, Do not... Sign in to see full entry.
