What Noone Noticed

Millions of little shards,
Scattered among the sand,
Drifting with dirt,
Blown away on the wind,
Washed away with the tides.

All the little pieces -
That use to fit together,
All the little pieces -
No longer matching,
All the little pieces -
All that is left.

Gone is the heart,
Gone is the mind,
Gone is the soul,
Gone, gone, gone.

Pink shredded ribbons hang,
Blood rivers flowing
From the emptiness,
The gaping hole.

Paleness spreading,
Shadows forming,
Light leaving,
Night consuming.

Unfinished

Numb eyes visions every rise
Ring I'm gone home tomorrow
Almost longing with a yearning smile
Where rivers over night's gone.

More are yellow beneath eyes
Take on more only red rice or wine
Need old top hat I nudge good
Torn on doors away yourself

BSD

Blowing breezes
Rainbows raining
Over one
Knelling knees
Every each
Nightly numb
Stinging steel
Hanging heads
Apathy again
Taken tolls
Trodden tramps
Ever ere
Raiding rivers
Ending edge
Deep drowning
Darkest dampness
Earnest eager
Silent slaying
Target tapped
Rough rider
Outrage owed
Yelling yes
Evermore
Delusions dead

Whispers Lost

Filled with emotions,
Empty of words,
It seems like time stands still
Every time you are gone.

No matter how hard I try,
Every thought and
Every moment is of you,
You are all consuming.

The days and the nights
They flow together,
Until there is nothing
And nothing is everything.

The world is gray,
But I hold my ground,
I do not panic or run,
I just wait - - for your return.

Like a bolt from the sky,
Suddenly, it is white.
The light rushes in
And I am happy!

Thank You Twice

One man is the only man for me
And that man is you.

Two wishes that I wish
One is true...the other...

Three words that are little
but mean so very much.

Four by four seasons and it is still new
There is no old since the start.

Five minutes of your time
Makes the day it seems so unreal.

Six times more than forever
And that seems like just one day.

Seven turns and one more
Just to give you everything.

Eight days per week
That is how many days I need you.

Nine days without you
Is longer than any forever.
 
Ten times a day, at least
I wish you were here.

Eleven, the Universe's number
You plus Me is The Universe.

Twelve hours a day is only
A quarter of the time I want with you.

Thirteen months a year
Is Thirteen months less than I want.

Thank you My Love
Thank you My Love

Happy Birthday My Love

Today is the most special day of the year,
Today is the day -
that the most amazing man was born,
Today is the day -
that the answer to my wishes came true,
Today is the day -
that my true home came to earth.

Today is the most special day of the year,
Today is the day -
that the world became a better place,
Today is the day -
that the stars shown brighter in the sky,
Today is the day -
that the angels sang louder with joy,

Today is the most special day of the year,
Today is the day -
that a piece of heaven came down,
Today is the day -
that many lives gained much needed hope,
Today is the day -
that those broken and lost became fixed and found.

Today is the most special day of the year,
Today is the day -
that my soul became whole,
Today is the day -
that my heart was unbroken,
Today is the day -
that my life was filled with color.

I Wanted

I wanted to do something special,
Really special for you,
But anything that I could,
Well it wouldn't be equal to you,
It wouldn't do you justice.
But anything that I thought,
Well it wouldn't be worthy of you,
It wouldn't shine as bright.

I wanted to give you the world,
But mine is so little - and
Yours is so large,
But mine is so poor - and
Yours is so rich,
But mine is so simple - and
Yours is so elegant.

I wanted to write you an epic,
But I am no Keates,
And you deserve Byron,
Verse that would soar,
But I am no Poe,
And you deserve Annabelle Leigh,
Words that woo,
But I am no Shelly,
And you deserve Rumi.

I wanted to wrap you in finery,
But I only have cotton - and
You are made for silk and satin,
I wanted to drape you in jewels,
But I only have gemstones - and
You deserve gold and diamonds,
I wanted to surround with beauty,
But I only have watercolor roses - and
You deserve Minot and Van Gohg.

I Say To You

Today the sun shines bright
Hear the summer rain
All the rainbows brightly colored
Now the flowers drink
Kneel among the trees

Yes more laughter
One hand in the other
Under the starlight

Make sweet dreams
Yours always the sweetest

Head on your shoulder
Easy as Sunday morning
Roof top dancing
Oh my Hero, I love you

Sometimes Once Then Tomorrow

Sometimes the words flow freely,
Sometimes you choke on what you cannot say,
Sometimes they fly through your mind like a whirlwind,
Sometimes the pain destroys all you wanted to say,
Sometimes in the dark the words beat you up,
Sometimes they are so big they crush you.

Once the lines enticed the ears,
Once the stories intrigued the mind,
Once the dreams spoke of love to come,
Once the sound soothed past pain,
Once promises nourished the heart,
Once hope energized the soul.

Then truth broke the illusion,
Then honesty destroyed desire,
Then silence imprisoned you,
Then darkness cast you adrift,
Then loneliness was all you had,
Then forever became your sentence.

Tomorrow to the child is grand,
Tomorrow to the youth is forever,
Tomorrow to the lover is bliss,
Tomorrow to the lost is just a word,
Tomorrow to the broken is torture,
Tomorrow to the forgotten isn't.

Broken Pieces

Broken pieces scattered on the wind,
Shards of what might have been,
Laying across the sands of life,
Buried under the stormy waves,
Little bits that colored not,
Each piece a lost bit.

Fragments of dreams and hopes,
Pieces of love and loss,
Blowing to distant shores,
Ending in places like no where,
Nameless and without direction,
Each piece a lost bit.

Missing endings that never come,
Stories only with middles,
No pages lovingly penned,
Just rumors that sail the winds,
No one saw the pain,
The scars that do not fade.

Silent screams rip through the night,
Sleepless dreams you cannot fight,
Tears of shame, loss, regret,
Accusations and judgement rendered yet,
Bring the relief, spare the pain,
Let the Executioner take my due.

I Have

I have said too much,
I have confessed too much,
I have shown too much,
I have given too much.

I have been all wrong,
I have been all weak,
I have been all demanding,
I have been all needy.

I have done it wrong,
I have done it poorly,
I have done it lately,
I have done it shortly.

I have failed to be enough,
I have failed to be strong,
I have failed to be right,
I have failed to be good.

I have not done you right,
I have not done you good,
I have not done you proper,
I have not done you enough.
