Tree line
Aug 9 2011

Through the woods
            An ocean beckons
A life as clean
        And free
As the waters
        That await
    Beyond the tree line
            Of this blackening forest

The light of promise
            Struggles through
Scarring branches
        Revealing
An indirect path
            To a place wherein
    The sun will
Never set

Some day
        Some how
                Somewhere
Beyond the trees
        Darkness and deceit
    Will no longer veil
This love
        born of fate
    And bound by perseverance

Patience, that virtue
Watching the clock
Fending off
    Anxieties and fears
With blind trust
            Feigning an ongoing
    Attempt
        To separate
Church and state
            Idling on a
                Solemn promise
That sooner or later
Our life will no longer
            Have conflict
    Our love will thrive
And we will live
    As we should
Not how our demons dictate
            Together
                Life and death
Honest
Earned
and fulfilled

Caller Unknown
09-16-2010

Day in day out
I wait for the phone to ring
    for the voice
To simply say:

It’s all over
Everyone who has loved you
    And everything you will love
Is dead,
        and gone.
Your fears are very real.
      
This is Life.

This is my Life....

... the one I run from
 day in day out.

Whiskey & Cipralex
Nov 12 2010

    Sharpened by candle light
Cloaked in the subsequent
        Absence of light
    Featureless faces converse
        Uttering a static din
Of conversation
    Pointless
        Vapid
    Idealistic
        Empty words

Unaware and unwitting
        Of their mortality
Their human shapes
    Shift and manifest
As though their
        Existence
Has any meaning

    Animated corpses drift
Through days and nights
Struggling against reality
Only to die

Already dead
They try …

… drifting through …
