Joyful Tears

Red and round loses the ball
Black desire finds them all
Back-winds blows me down-stream
Till all I hear is nightmares and screams
Dripping blood, dust, and dirt fill all my cuts
Yet, when I see you spring above the tree so high
Joyful tears are brought to my eyes

Praying for Silence

Sorry, I haven't posted in a long time. So, here is one of my poems...
Praying for Silence


Freezing cold in the disease you told
I pull the covers off you and see the marks left of yesterday
With all the stories told, Each mask unfolds
Moving too fast, Personalities get unwrapped
How do I know which one of you I am talking to next?
Too confused too ask, I hand you a tissue to cry
I roll over and continue to wonder why

Yesterday you said forever, today now it’s done
What’s it tomorrow, will you come ‘round again?
This forever 360 has my head screaming loud
It prays for silence that I only reach when I’m with you
That’s why I have no courage to end that little thread left
Or to finally say I’m through
