In his time worn hands
an old book
his fingers brush pages
full of other people's lives
his eyes always returning
to a worn and empty chair
in the pain of the unspoken
he still sees her sitting there.

Nightmare fires
Crawling, eating
Tissue, organs
Muscles failing
She falls to the ground
On hollow wings
Crows screaming..
Crippled flying
Black sky boundless
She keeps only those
That seem to need her
Seek me at the
golden grandeur of sunrise
a soft flame held
to skies of blue
and somewhere below
my love shall pulse for you
in swaying barley
- flourishing lips glistening
with morning dew.

Memory
Of our first kiss
Lost
In Time‘s deep mist
But money, kids
And awful sex
Soon despoiled
Our bliss
Goodbye
To that couple
Whose love vanished
Into wisp
I’d be remiss
To not share this-
They’ll be forever missed

beyond the stars
Angels sang
of a silent night
it was written
in His memoirs
A Christ Child
to show the way
bringing us all
peace & joy this very day
