listening back now

seems so hard to miss

that deep felt desire

for life more than this

 

so how did we not

see that darkness filling

what light was left

as hope went spilling

 

radio plays nonstop

an endless tribute stream

what now seems proof

in that musical scream

 

let us not forget

the reality of those songs

as hopelessness expresses

it feels it belongs

 

success matters not

when the mind does miss

a light, a hope, a faith

to make life worth this

Tonight’s bottoms up

Two glasses for me

When there’s no you

I drift away lonely

 

The red flows

And I float

Above my aching pain

Aware of emptiness

 

Alone in the dark

I curl inside myself

Not reaching out

No hug to anchor me

 

All it takes is one

A simple embrace

To make me whole again

Bigger than myself

Sadness awakened
Pieces of each inside us
Immortal love lived

Running away in circles

(Alone) In A One Man Army

alone, depressed, depression, music, poem, poetry, sadness, solitude, trapped

Pushing away my last line

I’m left truly alone

Past my last defense

It’s a one man army

 

Attacked from the outside

The beats are caged

Not allowed to leave

Only spill their remnants

 

Triggered from outside

The holes flow both ways

Pain going in, emptiness prevails

No permanent visitor but lonesome blues

 

The melodies roll in

The words a kind rhythm

To pull me through

Cleansing drops emerge through gray

 

But when the songs end

And I lay down my pen

I sit on an empty couch

In selected solitude, alone again

Sad Eyes

What Tears May Come

crying, depressed, depression, emptiness, hope, poem, poetry, sad, sadness, tears

When crying becomes regular

A sad song stirs tears

The catharsis a reality

 

Familiar sounds in a familiar place

No longer provide comfort

My eyes wash away normal

 

Silent streams, heavy breaths

Breathe in pain, exhale hope

Mouth opens no words

 

No action, just idea

A picture far away inside

My world I can’t touch

 

I want to reach

But my hands remain

Stagnant at my side

 

I get farther away

Filling less of myself

Faith holds my heart

Turning, Spinning, Moving

My heart rate rises

And the tears return

with nothing left to blame

 

I’ve been washed clean

The drugs gone for now

With my head active

 

The wheels turn again

But so does the water wheel

Words and water flowing

 

Sources, destination unknown

Head spinning in place

My face lands in my hands

 

What can I see

Where can I point

No aim with closed eyes

 

Stay in place

Move like clouds

Light shining through

Melodic Remedy

They try to knock it

The beauty in the pain

That the music shares

Better than I explain

 

But I’m not the first

To feel so low

And won’t be the last

To survive the blow

 

So I listen widely

To the company in melody

A kindred melancholy

Part of the remedy

 

Then my words pour out

An alternate perspective

That I let go knowing

My view has my directive

  • Starlit Darkness 
              As it felt like I continued to fall deeper into darkness, I reminded myself to keep dreaming positively.

  • Falling
          These plain manicures go back to the fall. The season marked a time of change and a new look at my world. Perhaps the perspective in what I held in my hands stole some of the focus and expression I would normally have for my nail art.  I went from a bold […]

  • Plain Sparkles
    After the Top Shelf plain manicure, I had another plain one with some sparkles added. I just didn’t feel spirited enough to enjoy my me time. I still made myself go through the motions though. I might not have been applying makeup regularly, but I kept my nails polished. The little touches kept me from […]
