Life's Lines 12/12/106 My life is a mess my blood runs cold Hiding in the dark as I shall now be bold Music playing loud in the corner, yet I can't hear Solitude surrounds me, like an icy blast of fear The darkness engulfs me, like a velvet cloak Misty fumes fill my throat, as I start to choke I feel the breath being dragged from my soul As the shadows grip and take a hold Where is the sun that shines so bright Did the dimness snatch it through the light Where is the moon and the stars illuminating The laughter now false and humiliating The wine red like blood pouring into the glass Life now seems nothing but a hilarious farce Time and tide what they were ever to me Never understood nor wanting to see The show is over as the choir sings Audience stands in applauding ovation As the cast bows, the heavy curtain falls Suddenly I understand my true vocation As I tap the words appear in unison On the page virginal and starkly white Life would be so easy if I could plan the detail And simply decide with the lines that I write

Gone And Forgotten 02/01/07 As I watch the tear drops dance In the mirror, turn and glance Eyes so sad and mind that reels The eating hurt that never heals They can't feel or hear the sound Until it falls and hits the ground Then they turn, look the other way Never knowing what words to say Oh dear, they solemnly retort Quick go pour a glass of port Keep your chin up, stiff upper lip Or on your chin you may just slip Wait I shout, you can't understand Year on year sounds echo spanned Screaming pleas the wind takes and stows Then sends it back each time it blows Shadows fade the darkness devour Long before the bewitching hour The raven overhead, swoops and squalls As I retreat back inside these walls Life no longer now a happy gift Each day the seconds endlessly drift Till I can no longer stand the silent noise As on the edge of the parapet I poise Should I step, the question asked Or retreat back again into the past I scream as the phone sound jangles Leave me alone as my life strangles Breath leaves in the mist of dawn All has gone so often I tried to warn But no one listened or understood Simply smirked as I turned to wood In years to come and years gone by Will you, did you ever stop and cry Over something or someone lost So much has past to untold cost

Goodbye My Friend 01/20/08 I shall go confidently in the direction of my dreams. Live my life the way I have always imagined Walk tall and strong with the world at my feet Treasure everything with all its triumphs and disasters Take the time to listen to the sounds around me Set a smile and catch a smile to all I see Chase away the insipid tears that fell on false promises And banish the cold unfeeling heart, with all its lies Watch the evening sunset over the mountains Catch the snow drifting dancing gently in the air Count the stars in the midnight ebony sky Discover the virtue shaped beauty from within A friend may well be reckoned a masterpiece of nature Fair friend forget me not, as I travel to heal my wounds I can no longer stay and suffer here in silence My body bleeds with torment and sorrow Ghostly silhouettes I will leave behind me Apparitions distorted like window reflections The only hands that reach out to touch me Are frozen and icy, or charred and burned Turn my back on familiar surroundings A vision that is deadly mundane Escape from the darkness that fills me And find the light and relieve the pain Forgive my leaving without closure An interval of broken feelings will heal As the years pass you will forgive me My name distant, vanished over the horizon
