"Its Life Depleted"

Without care or caution

In all connections within life

Feelings or emotions

Bonds, love, or friendship...

We can find ourselves here

At that moment of revelation

That none of these things usually die a natural death

They whither upon the vine of life

Because they cannot with stand the storm of life

Of miscommunication...

Broken trust...

And the heaviness of betrayal...

Its life becomes depleted

For no one wishes to replenish its source

So it dies...

From blindness

And errors

Flooded by tears

It cannot gain another breath...

Moments fade

Time tarnishes the once fond memories made

Until the reflection is vision blurred...

Conversation ends

Seasons change

No one cares to bare the weight...

Or to maintain the effort

At being the keeper of this

So then comes the marker upon its lifeline set

Making this its final place of rest.

"Allowance and Acceptance"

Frustration scrapes through the thoughts

Bouncing off the hard edges of the truth

Eyes search

One foot in front of the next

Your only guarantee is feet must be moved forward

The compass within points ahead

Our past was lessons learned

Not something to hold us back

Sentencing us to a life not lived

We know better...

Its not that our mouths lack the words

Scared are the actions of failing to follow through

Strained is the strength to carry the burden

Like puzzle pieces floating on the river of life

Desperate to connect and fit in

We are the creator

Own the moments...

Be brave...

Breathe...

This is for the greater good

It gives the permission to say, “its okay...”

Its your allowance and acceptance

Because the alternative of staying forever silent

Is like dying...

Be present

Have faith

And live it

Embrace the worth in caring

And if today you run out of sunlight

The darkness of night will pass

A new horizon will break

To offer more perspective

Because regrets already are so many unsolved emotions

And choices never taken.

"Cut From The Heart"

Tears once ran

Faster than my thoughts could carry my feet

Memories took arms with what has come to pass

Half truth is still part of a whole lie

Refusal to heal what hurt you in the past

Will only cause you to bleed onto those who did not cut you in the present

Until enough is enough

Making it to far gone already

My hands reached out to give

Your hands only wanted to take

Words fell short

Until you asked me to fill the silence you were all to eager to create

Breeding the excuses to hide the reasons to believe

Questions asked became the quest traveled

Though nothing could be done to bridge the distance between us

Love blinds the mind

Allowing toxic things done ignored

Seemingly to justify the scares left

Just because the one loved beyond my own safety

Was holding the knife

Cut from this past connection now

My words still echo through

There was always a place in my heart for you...

Until you turned out the light.

"Only The Memory"

I once wished...

A hope beyond any dream

That laughter would kiss my lips

My eyes would see such beauty within the soul

A warmth would grow

Glowing brighter than any sunset

Colours would flow through connections made

Even rainbows would be jealous of the vibrancy made

Smiles filled with hugs gave faith

Comfort and confidence came

For patience gave way to doubt

Acceptance of love was complete

Inspiration given to existence is life

One moment can be everything or mean an eternity

Or it can simply be a trick of the clock....

Tick-tock...

Here I am

Moved passed where I once was

I am the architect now

Allowing myself to build another dream

I am the dictionary

I define me

I will not cast shadows in my life

By standing in my own sunlight

Tomorrow gives me hope for a better day

Where I am not...

Is not as important as where I am now

Reminding myself briefly...

That its okay to miss the memories

And not the person...
