The four fathers

The four fathers and why I couldn't understand any of them. Father one, his number was 3 million, unusual character because he never wanted to stay home, this perplexed me, so I assumed he never had any. Then there was big brother Father, his number was 50 million, I couldn't understand him either, everything was so big, big industry, big system, big society, lofty language, old world rulership. Then there was radical Father, his number was 10 million and growing, he dreamed, envisioned and talked of nation, but he just it didn't have any home yet so his children could visit him . The one father I struggled with the most, neither had country nor home of his own, yet he was influenced by all the other fathers, which way would he walk, what would he do, were was he truly in relation to all the others, his number has yet to become and be known. Different . . . thought provoking |

Everlasting Season
It's winter outside but inside with you it's as hot as the sun's warmth stretching across the summer's night until sweat flows our entwined souls It's winter yet touching you scorches my very being as I lose myself in everything your touch does to me It's takes imagination to feel the cold the world offers because inside with you summer is the everlasting season |

The Autumn Wind's Rain
The mist fell from the clouded fog darkened sky like sorrow upon my soul achingly cold such is the reminder that time has its own course to follow nothing changes as the world continues its onward journey and yet nothing remains the same The sigh of autumn's wind was as quiet as the leaves rhythmically floating from the reaches of outstretched limbs a cascading rainbow of colors searching for warmth in the midst of the changing seasons The rain's solemn despair seems to define the world's mood as its weight grows heavier and heavier with each passing hour my hope is that it is simply passing through and that the sun will once again rise |

You know, I use words to say things important. You do not hear my words or me. You hear you and your words. I can not respect one way. So it seems we are at in impasse. And goodbye is the only thing each other hears. Fare the well my beloved. If only we had really heard the unspoken echoes. The earthquakes aftershocks of listening with the heart. BOOM WOWWWWWW speaks volumes |

Stage Four's Hurt
I scream there's nothing like this pain it feels as if I'm enduring life over and over and over again only to know that life isn't this one moment in time but this one moment is all that I have I love you more than there are reasons for the sun to rise more than who I am because without you I am no one so I scream knowing that I am alone now that I am fighting this moment this day this seemingly eternity because you have left me It wasn't your choice it wasn't something that was decided by your smile your laughter your kindness for now reasons don't matter why doesn't matter only this pain this torment this loneliness and how cancer took you from me And it hurts so much |

Recycled
I find myself grinning but necessarily bearing it as one ad after another seems to complicate stupidity Campaign season is upon us and the words are flying this one did that and that one did this and yet neither did what most of the governed needed them to do . . . govern To make matters worse in between the little white lies is uneasy truth that once one enters the voting booth the only real choice is the insult to our intelligence as the recycled promises becomes tomorrow's newest vision |

There was something magical about holding her hand it was as if time stood still as it watched us grow into something more beautiful than midnight stars stretched out across the edge of tomorrow There was something unexplainable how she tempted me to be me it was as if all she wanted was what I had to offer I know it sounds strange but it was real it was as if the better part of who I was was made even better by who she was I smiled more felt more and wanted her to know more than anything that I was in love with her So son I say this to you if she makes you feel the way your mom still makes me feel then she is the woman you should marry |

Take Some Time
The exterior was the same as it had been before they entered our lives grew up and flew the coop And now I'm sitting here bored writing poetry while she naps but prior to our present moment she and I discussed moving maybe to a smaller place where the quiet moments would linger like a relaxing vacation Our problem is that we have no idea what to do to pass time redecorate order Chinese take out write read sleep watch a movie then think about how busy our lives had been and how we couldn't wait until they left to face the world and the house would be ours again but the funny thing is the interior has changed and it's going to take some time to get used to |

Expressionism . . . The Unknown
I feel time's expression within the wounded beats of my heart's fading rhythm there is no exhilaration no rejoicing in my near lifeless soul merely the act of struggling to breath as I lie here racing towards the end of this journey Faint breaths fight the battle that is surely to end with one last sigh from the depths of my failing lungs I cry not because this will be my last memory I cry simply because I am afraid I am not ready yet there is this unbearable cold coursing through my veins that feels like the wind during winter's season that is pushing me closer and closer I shiver wondering if praying that the layers and layers of thoughts I carry with me will keep me warm as I transition to the unknown |

Relive
Watching the clock fight to move to a place in time where I'm no longer thinking of you is the hardest thing I've ever had to do Tick tock tick tock and yet I'm still here in the same place reliving us without you |

Worthwhile
I like how the wind seems to carry me to faraway places even if only in my dreams It feels as cool as the night's easiness subtle hints of possibilities flowing through my dreams And as morning waits in the wings I take the time to sift through the seconds where everything was as my imagination pictured it to be in my dreams If only when I stretch the night and sleep from my body the world was as beautiful as it had been in my dreams life would be worthwhile |

Fantasy
I find it easy to fantasize about you while listening to the rain's pitter patter against the window I close my eyes and it is as if I can feel each drop's rhythm dance across window it feels like a song written by your soul just for me I'm not sure if there's a chill in the air or if it's your breath but there is this gentle heavenly breeze that seems to caress my senses I shiver as the tingling sensations of this unique melody slowly takes over everything that I am I even find myself swaying as if I'm a part of this music and you my fantasy are dancing with me |

Watching Time
Sitting alone in dark watching time chase tomorrow I find myself crying Not sure why maybe it's the star's glow misshapen by the falling rain or maybe it's the hurt my soul feels as I wonder where you are and what it is that you are doing now without me Sitting alone in the dark feeling you touch me even though you are not here and I miss you I miss us and I wish I could tell you how empty this loneliness feels and how much you hurt me but I am afraid to see you because I still love you |

All You Can Do
Emotions coalesce within my heart forming dark clouds that burden more than my soul they burden my thoughts my reasons my sanity I won't ask why again I won't seek answers or closure I don't want to "feel" another lie there's too much pain as it is and I am afraid that more pain more hurt will leave a trail of scars that resemble the emptiness of the colorless blood that flows freely from my eyes I often wonder though if I am in your thoughts if by chance you've called my name in the midst of a quiet moment that reminded you of us and that is the trouble with deciding to let go you never really let go even as emotions coalesce within your heart forming dark clouds and all you can do is wait until the storm passes |

Bare Feet and Laughter
I remember the first time running barefoot as the morning dew clung to each blade of grass as if it were fighting back the sun's golden warmth Summer had begun and the excitement of being free to play to laugh to wonder through the day discovering the magic of youthfulness was life's purpose |

Slowly Fading
I have felt the world cold and dark empty… I have imagined as you struggled to breathe your last breath… Death after years of being a part of life's struggle has finally called you out… And me now alone… struggle with memories …slowly fading imagine this emptiness this is hell This is how my love of losing you feels like to me… A spouse is lost…and the remaining person is a widow A parent dies…a child left behind is an orphan But a parent who loses a child…there is no name…there is nothing All of life's magic, wonder and meaning slowly dies when your heart is ripped from your body…and you find yourself…slowly fading |
