Reconciliation

Hello………
Child in light
I think I see you
Just grasping edge of my mind,
Where should I reach you
Skin burns bleakly cold,
Eyes clutch no ray of hope
Trespass, little light steps,
As you dissolve, decompose,
Falling on bleeding feet
Through chasms chained in sorrow,
Whipped into frenzy by those
Who standby suffocating you,
Claiming all the while, sighing
Words of love, just too much,
As they lay you down to
Pick pieces off your bones,
Slack in vacant promises
Of priceless treasures to come.
Untruths, ending of days
Binding of lurid night
Hollow stars, almighty flight,
Starved of beauty, deserted smile.
I think I see you.

Hello?

Gaiety, joker who rocks
In decibels, syllables, giggles,
Frowns at sorrow of lost youth,
Rockets you to hiding moon,
Glows not in warmth
For that would be the sun
Soaking rain, purifying dead skin
To float in sea of debris,
While rainbow fragments
Dreams of gold endings,
Brittle pots remain soberly empty.
Alice chases white rabbit still,
Queen of hearts roars disapproval
Under hasty clouds scattered,
Escaping dark stormy skies.

I was with you.

Stay

Girl child
Let me warm fractured skin,
Fold you into my dreams
Rest a while, hush child,
Don’t go just yet
Don’t fret
Shush,
We have so much to talk about
How long has it been?
Since we shared a smile
Come girl child,
Let me dry your eyes
Tend your exposed skin,
Show you all the places I have been,
Lie upon me as we share dreams
I know you
As you know me
You’re my child within.
