Bird Haven

The tree nods its head

Beckons birds to its arm boughs

Safe nested in womb.

or my father's tears

Veiled Reality

Our eternity 

Wilting like a fragile rose 

Forged in plastic thorns

Toxic

We slice with cruel words

then pretend our wounds don't bleed.

Blind pain denies stains.

Steady Madness

The sun descended

upon his hasty demise

the day she turned mute

Fading Feelings

And the love she felt

Ran oh so far away. Not to

Come another day

He cannot come back today...not ever.

Agony subsides

And death is not lenient

There is no return

New Beginnings

On a Saturday

In a small town gas station

Walls were demolished.

Friday Woes

He came late to work,

And bumbled up the project. 

He's glad it's Friday.
