When the world is grey. // Lukewarm

The world in grey
You hear the concrete
The running of footsteps
Coming from painful nights of un-sleep

The world in grey
Blocks of concrete in plain view
You see them close
But nothing lies within

The world in grey
Where a void fills
You feel nothing
Over ghastly dreams

A world in grey
No love lost
And no love to gain.

I call her Serene.

when you think about the end
you don’t think soil and coffins
you think of the lights that have gone by
you visualize the laughters you have spent.

when you think about the end
you don’t think a dead end silence
you think of the peaceful draw
you hear the drumming excitement of a journey passed.

when you think about the end
you don’t think sad weeping souls
you think of the harmony that has been
of a good life lived.

you think about the end,
and you ponder over it.

Say nothing at all

I feel your presence,
and you’re always here.
I can’t have you,
and you’ve always known.

but here I find you,
in days that are constant,
and time that never slows.

I want you,
but not just your presence alone.
I want all of you,
would you give yourself to me?

or
say nothing at all.

be on your way.

to mourn a loss
is like to not say it out at all
it is in the distance
it is in the lonesome

to mourn a loss
is like a presence that could be felt
it is a figure of nothing
but,
a nothingness it is not

to mourn a loss
is like giving up part of yourselves
it is so that one can move on
it is so the body knows it will not be defunct

to mourn a loss
is like to know you have loved
and,
it is because of having loved
that there is a loss

most of all

A loss,
is like to have gained as well.

stillborn

I was, before I am
In the still life I sought, but now I seek
The breath I couldn’t take,
That I will now receive
stillborn, it was mine and it still is

Before the dawn, I sat
In the ambers, I could not go

The burn of touch
And the sin of men
I couldn’t let go, I couldn’t believe

But now, I guess,
stillborn, in your love I’ll live.

a puzzle of no relief, a double means of miss

There are certain things i miss
There are certain people i miss

and then

There are certain moments i miss
These moments are precious but they always slip by
These moments are rare but i never really cared
These moments, these moments do come by

and then

I just stop and stare.

these moments pass us by; never again to have a pair

The 11th Hour

Where no man is safe

And no lady pure.

Draw your curtains in

And hear the wind roar.

A triple knock

And a cold hard lure.

Sets in motion

A place only heard of

a place for unleavened men/a prayer for a place kept pure
