In spite of Pain.
my soul aches.. it cries within.
I long for release... a respite, at least!
quietly I daydream of days gone by..
those days when the world was softer,
life was simpler and problems were distant...
my wandering thoughts seek escape..
But disappointments dull ache remains
ever close by, reminding.. whispering quietly..
that hope is not found here..
I must escape, I must leave..
somewhere.. somewhere far away,
the world is peaceful there.
where the storms of regrets are distant
and life can be simple again..
I must escape.. must fly again..
in my dreams only..
If only.

Soul is stilled
Cradled, warm flesh
Rocking slow, sweet
Vibration in old bones
Rhythm rolling off tongues
Mesmerizing beats in dusty streets
Haunted eyes, towns, hearts
Jaded, persuaded by forget-me-nots
Lullabies whispered
Rock me gentle
Move me sweet
Rhythm and beat
Tunes, lazily winding
Bending in breezes
Words, rhymes, lies
Cooed into ears of children
Laughed out by choking poets
Dust of broken notes
Mortar, pestle
Grind out this tune
Whittle away unnecessary
Blind, bruised, singing
Loud and clear
Over treetops, dusty lots
Mops of golden hair topped by
Blue eyes, piercing
Truth waters spill over, pale cheek
Chil
