End of Rage...

there I go
again

alone
raging

alone

slow
innocent
pokes

heart
secret
tender

sacred
secret
sensitive

open
slamming
shut

cover
hide
retreat

there I go
again

alone


hopeless
hating
hard

if you knew
if I knew
why

left alone
baby boy
cries

man walking
boy crying
hope dying
friends prying
trying

reason
absent
inner
torment
feelings
ferment
rage
will not
relent

please
squeeze
freeze

unwind
unbind
intertwined

knots
clots
blind
spots

time
peace
thoughts
cease
emotions
release

stop
open
heal
the broken
hope
unspoken

piece
by piece
thought
by thought
suffering
meaning
connection
sought

gentle
friends
moments
spend
hearts
minds
blend
rage
will end

here I am

not

alone

Your face...

sitting still

mother's lap
absorbing

songs
dances
wonder
instilling

face
so precious
awe
inspiring

soon
will be
four

time
gone
more

hearts
mine
yours

so far away
so close inside

how long can i stay
my mind beside

myself to watch
you grow and hide

secrets of days
moments without

touches
smiles
your precious pout

my heart is rending
my face is drenched

my ache unending
my thirst never quenched

my little Bear
my only One

my joy
my life
my secret Sun

one day we'll be
so near to touch

live every moment
share so much

for now I hear
watch from
afar

one day
I promise
I will be

where you are

So there I am...

mirror shows

eyes see
heart feels
scars

wounds of time
torment
treasures
tears

lines
curves
lumps
hints of grey

all that has been endured
absorbed
buried
hidden

now to these eyes
apparent
vivid
awed

sorry
thank you
forgive me

time to restore
rebuild
refresh

my faded fortress of flesh
