Family COMMUNion

I miss you every moment I miss you by the hour penance and atonement my heart a fading flower Salt and pepper softness the callous of your hand I knew that Love would cost this but I still don't understand The throaty softened chuckle that sweet lopsided grin the way you passed your knuckle from my jawline to my chin Memories brief and fleeting The things I choose to hold While I lay here bleeding in the place love's left me, cold Missing, I am missing I've lost my half of me all that time just wishing for what would never be I wish you were stronger I wish I had been brave I'd have held you longer I'd never learn to cave Missing, I am listless Alone and I'm ashamed hurting and I'm driftless Certain I've been framed Please bring back what's broken Please just let me have it I was far too open and now I cannot stand it Missing, I am missing Looking to find me In all the worn...

"For the BROKEN Body" It's in the grimace of his jaw the steel within his eyes its in the slightest flinch I saw whilst noting his demise it's in his open apathy as others hurt and bleed he wears the mark of misery a dam of pain besieged Compared to truth his confidence appears to be a fake he wears his rags as righteousness but all for pity's sake In dreams he rescues maidens In heart, he breaks the curse but fear it leaves him brazen and worry leaves him worse He struggles with reality I fear it leave him cold He'll fight with his mortality  before he's grown old Here, I thought her safely the twinkle in her eye the quiet breaths of laughter the deep contented sigh It seemed that in her age, she'd found a safer place She almost had me comforted. She'd nearly built my case The simplest of moments her loss it dared to show I'd barely chance to notice shame she'd come to know It finds her quiet often It holds her in its clutches the k...

Driven through with blurring seams Pages bound with sodden reams strangely laced with dirty themes All that's golden bravely gleams Body marked and heart that's torn Promise raped, allegiance sworn Fatal wound to all that's born A time to weep a time to mourn Fight against revenge's snare Dine-in love seems meager fare Danger lies near, waiting there Broken heart, raw flesh laid bare Shock you with this scrawny fight Let His love light up the night I know you hate it when I'm right Your bark made dents but not your bite Flagrant Flowing Stagnant Glowing Love forever strong and growing A book I never thought to write Dreamy Notions Murky Oceans Bottomless these strong emotions Autonomous is my respite Razor rip the reddened thread Tears that soak my weary bed Dirtied lace that left me dead Bruise my heel and crush his head Value for the Victory Arms of hope entangle me broken cord that set me free all that I was meant to be City set upon a hill Die to live, i ...

Wrestling October 13, 2010 at 12:14pm Tie it tighter behind her head She always was a fighter make her pay for what she said light her Truth on fire Bind the bonds behind her back make the wrists bleed slowly she'll never run, but she'll fight back she thinks she's strong and holy Mock her while she struggles Kick her while she's down hold the one who stumbles pin him to the ground. I've seen you in my past I've seen you in his eyes I know this cannot last so familiar with your lies Rip the covering, cut the head swarmed by vultures, left for dead never doubt the fire the gold has been refined dragged out of the mire I won't leave you behind Darkness twists the present's grasp all your views are tainted keyhole vision, afraid to ask cowardice inflated. When all has been exerted the countdown has been laid the truth has be...

A hill and a sled A four-poster bed A two-sided black iron fireplace Old pocket doors Hard wooden floors an old banister wrapped 'round a staircase A sparkling river an old grand's sweet timbre the music rain plays on roof's tin The orchard it beckons my children the ruins of a greenhouse' gone days and dreams that I used to be lost in manifest now in these ways And as I draw near the solo I hear played on the wind in the trees A mournful, soft song A melody strong that strains on the soft evening breeze: "Show me the patience that love is Promise I'll not be alone Home is where all of my heart lives willingly claimed as his own" Evenings of music and laughter the echo of "happily ever after" sung in the rustling leaves It won't mean a thing these melodies ring the bluebird's song sing without you, this house not a home "Show me the kindness that love is Forgive and forget my mistake Home i...

This needed to be reposted.....if I need to read it again then so do you. Faint with weight of apathy Your heart it waits to cradle me and in the faintest light I see the image of all I was made to be Never dawning as I hoped light would Always running from what I never understood asking why this crash of destiny I tried to bear  responsibility And there you are my Master Do you still wait for me? There you are my Lover Still, I see Your longing. You refuse my backward glance You won't allow the faith of happenstance You settle for the future and promise it secure You paint a fuller picture and quiet every fear And there you are my Faithful Friend The only One that's constant The  Strength of Love that will not end awakes a heart despondent Filling every empty hole drawing me with push and pull making ways where none could see extending every help to me It seemed once i was worthy untarnished by this pain Then, Your love was burning Yet now; the bluest flame I find it hard ...

It hurts It's how you know it's real Not everything works even when you're sure it will
