Letting Go

Together -
Time Gone By.
Smiles -
Laughter, sparkling eyes.

Time, like the wind,
changes it's surroundings.
Feelings once felt,
drifting apart.
Spaces between us grow.

She's taken your heart -
Captured your sould.

Love her-
Stay withher.
My heart will mend.

Gone

Walking out of pain --
into stress.
Tension, yelling,
HELL.
One I love,
loves me not.
Those who should love me --
Want me dead.

Falling deeper -
deeper into Shadowed Darkness.
Peace swarms around me like warm water
and I feel her comforting arms cradle me.

Someone loves you,
she whispers -
Closing my eyes
I see her beckoning hands and longing eyes.

All of my pain swims peacefully,
quietly away.
All of the tension -- relaxes

All is well now -
I am gone ... forever.

Shadows

Alone
in my somber room.
I welcomed you home 
to the depths of darkness. 
The wick on the candle
smoldered silently
As I felt you slip quietly
into the shadows. 

Once strangers to me - 
I was frightened, 
yet full of a tingling sense
of anticipation and adventure. 

There I was in a world
I thought was my own. 
Now to share it. 
Curiosity - 
Why had you come?


Quietly I whispered to you - 
Only the flame flickered 
and danced on melted wax. 

You visited --
We became friends.
