You saved my heart
As we began one trip
Around the sun together
Melding our lives however difficult
...
The skeletal remains
Left to bake in the sun
Pealed away tissues
To expose a withered heart
...
We are asked to ask
That the Lord be with us
As our choice to be with Him
Yet the decision is against
...
Mornings bring sorrow
Though she's never
Been to this house
She's been in my heart
...
Were it that death separated us
is better than to be rejected
To have no recourse and no hope
Without physical possibility
...
I've spoken of death
In my poetry void of spirit
Diminishing hope
Everyday more difficult
...
With the door now closed
With our hearts flat
Seemingly near death
Only recourse I have
...
Desired aspirations
Accumulate against
The backdropp of my reality
Weighing down perceptions
...
Crickets faintly glisten
the full nights moon
A frog tells me of his presence
in a field nearby
...
As it is a living death,
I long to feel again
To taste to smell to hear
and to see, for my heart has died
...
