Day 332 - Far Away

I am flying back to our place

Every night in my deepest dreams

Just hoping for a glimpse of your face

But I never make it to you. It seems

I get lost on the way in the sky

Or the green grass that protects our haven

Each morning I wake up to shake and cry

Alone without my embracing maven

Why did you go so far away?

What could I have done to make you stay?

Day 237 - Smudging Time

How deeply can one extend his shackles into the grasp of the night?

Grins of silencing gazes, blinds the fluttering sight.

That smudges memory in deathly charcoal exposure,

The cracking clock on the wall so we know all is over.

Scattered to grains of salt and pepper,

Too often happy to expose and taunt the leper.

Who inhales this filth hoping one day,

To like all these memories be smudged away.

That white seeming honesty is a lie, you see

Twelve gasping hours choking on attempts to be free

From the all knowing all seeing omnipotent wretch

Scoffing like an owner whose dog is told to fetch

More charcoal to smudge each instant

More erasers to pull off the moment

When this clock was embedded deep in the wall

Before the times when mankind began to crumble and fall

Day 172 - Close Your Eyes

I see you, looking in for an answer

But I doubt you really need and crave it

You think if you find it things will be easier

Like if you can get the right light you could save it

Or rather me, from whatever plagues me into black

But darling you are traveling down the wrong track

I am locked in a world of dark corners and jokes

Where clowns taunt and tease me until I frown

And in that place there are pushes and pokes

And many other ways to bring you down

But I know a secret that keeps me calm

The way to keep going without any harm

I close my eyes shut and look at nothing

But the dreams where you hold me how you love me

There are no nightmares that they can bring

That can pull me away from all that swirls above me

A ballad of magic and true loves alliance

Makes me smile as together we dance

Day 3 - Eye of the Beholder

Whispers of dread fill the dull sky

Fading between lines of slumbering trees

Farther away you hear a small cry

That is brushed away on a gentle breeze

This wintry wonder holds not an ounce of hope

It refuses your pleas to find a method to cope

With the nightmares that never cease

Rather mere wisps of light fill your view

They are dwarfed by despair and lack peace

The darkness shrouds all else from you

But now it changes as we look for the white

You can just feel the coming of light

Far in those trees the crying has come to a halt

You find a small smile playing softly on your face

Someone has labored to stop the sad fault

And release the anger that had in kindness no place

You appreciate now the darkness as serene

Knowing the glory in what is heard, though unseen
