“Blessed”

 

“Blessed”

   

Blessed, I was blessed.

By the knowing of two women.

But had you asked,

I’d not have known it back then.

  

Placed together,

By such random events.

The kind of stuff,

No one can invent.

   

Blessed, I was blessed.

By the knowing of two women.

But had you asked,

I’d not have known it back then.

Can The Words Run Out

   

“Can The Words Run Out”

    

I want to find the perfect words.

Just say what needs be said.

I’m trying to call the words,

But they might be dead.

  

Can that happen?

Can the words run out?

Even if we scream?

Even if we shout?

    

I want to find the perfect words.

Just say what needs be said.

I’m trying to call the words,

But they might be dead.

“regret”

 

“regret”

  

I’ve said goodbye,

A thousand times.

But I feel like, 

I’m all out of rhymes

    

Is that good?

Or regretful?

Have I said goodbye so much,

It makes me forgetful?

   

I don’t want unimagined,

I don’t want to forget.

Forgetting would be a thing,

I’d regret.

luck

 

“luck”

  

Have I said enough?

Or too much?

I suppose those are the things left,

To luck.

  

I hope you know.

What’s in my heart.

Because even in my tears,

We’ll never drift apart.

    

Have I said enough?

Or too much?

I suppose those are the things left,

To luck.

Keepsakes

 

"Keepsakes"

  

I try to listen,

But even my ears fall deaf.

After all you are,

The oldest friends I have left.

  

Not that that says much,

Or that it says a lot.

But in my keepsakes,

It is something I have got.

  

So I try to listen,

But even my ears fall deaf.

After all you are,

The oldest friends I have left.

Absent Rhymes

“Absent Rhymes”

    

I’m not used to,

Saying goodbye.

When I’m not the one,

Who’s walking away.

   

I’ve done it tons of times,

But this one’s different.

Ever quiet and,

Absent rhymes.

  

I know it’s time, 

For you to return.

But I won’t lie,

And say I won’t morn.

Just remember you were adored.

The Etiquette of Goodbye

 

“The Etiquette of Goodbye”

   

I'm pretty practiced,

In the etiquette of goodbye.

I know sometimes,

We cry.

  

Been quite a while,

Since ones snuck up on me.

So funny when it’s upon you,

How much you see.

   

Still I’m very practiced, 

In the etiquette of goodbye.

So don’t mind me,

If I take a moment to cry.

Say

 

“Say”

   

I’m kinda crying,

Outside my comfort zone.

I’m the one who leaves,

Not used being left alone.

  

Is that selfish?

Or a conceit?

But I see the tracks,

Not left of my feet.

    

Everyone goes.

So say what you say.

Life’s largest lesson,

Everyone goes away.

nothing harsh or hurtful here,

just venting

Rearview Glances

 

"Rearview Glances"

  

The tears just fall,

Into an endless stream.

Hoping that you’d wake,

This was all a dream.

But the sun moves,

As does the moon,

Counting makes it come,

All too soon.

  

All things pass,

From summer into fall,

Passing time,

Catches us all.

  

Rearview glances,

Always make us cry.

After so much time,

So hard to say goodbye.

But come what may,

Let me just say.

I send my blessings,

On your journeys way.

Before Goodbye

“Before Goodbye”

       

The inevitable goodbye,

You will always witness,

So  regardless of

The why.

     

Say it today,

Don’t wait till yesterday,

Is just a song.

Voice it when you’ve the chance to say.
   

Before goodbye,

Has come and gone.

In The Night

"In The Night"

So bitterly endless

The struggle

The fight

At last alone

Out somewhere

In the night

Reach for a dream

Only to have it

Taken away

Reach for the words

When you don't know

What to say

Find loss

In dreams

Such empty eyes

Find guilt

In anger

Don't apologize

So bitterly endless

The struggle

The fight

At last alone

Out somewhere

In the night

tears

 

“tears’

   

Years

It’s been years

How can this dried old heart

Still shed tears

   

I know it’s not right

I know it’s wrong

But my world still stops 

When I hear that song

    

Years

It’s been years

How can this dried old heart

Still shed tears

If I Told You

 

“If I Told You”

    

If I told you my heart was shattered,

Would that be enough?

Would that make me weak,

Or tough?

  

If I said my eyes had cried,

Every ounce of tears?

Would that make me stronger,

Or weaker of my fears?

  

If I said I couldn't afford to hurt,

That much again.

If I lacked the strength to let,

It begin?

   

Would that make me wrong,

If I told you?

I just lack the strength,

To let it to be true.
