Random Thoughts ( 5 short poems )
- All That's Left -
A hollow remains
Where your heart
Once resided
In my chest
Ripped from my body
Along with my own
Synchronized
They died
Alone
- Welcoming Tragedy -
As my eyes shut
My mind awakes
This pillow
Offers comfort
To my heavy head
My subconscious
Offers a home
To your memory
Our tragedy
I pray for
Recurrence
Of a nightmare
- The Book of Life -
Our story
Begins
Builds
Flows
Peaks
Falls
Subsides
Eventually
Finding
Its end
- Resilience -
Never discredit
The resilience
Of the heart
But
Never expect
The heart to
Repair itself
Unassisted
- The Cycle -
Ice encases
Pain
Fire ignites
Passion
Melting the pain
Becoming water
Which floods
Overwhelms
Eventually
Extinguishing
The flame
Warmth retreats
Ice encases
Once again
