Friend to the End

They say that friendship will stop our downfall,
It is a stone, a rock in sands of time.
His stone begins to fade to dust and falls
With each loud crash of sound and booming chimes.
 
The seconds turn to hours, time spins so fast
I can’t decide; I’m always torn in two.
The anger builds. I fear this will not last.
The storms rage on and still I have no clue.
 
This strife and pain I want to shed and scream
“O why?” I’m stuck in time, a cold place where
Unheard, I cry. The Agony of dreams:
Our bond is lost, just rubble and despair.
 
A friend’s a friend until it is the end…
The end is now. We part our ways my friend.  

I wipe away your tears

Do not give up this fight so soon my dear, 
For I am here to catch you when you fall.
With every pain, I wipe away your tears.

Push against entwined ropes that bind to fear.
We must struggle through; this is no time to stall.
Do not give up this fight so soon my dear.

Your heart to dust, I mend it through the years.
It breaks again. You can't help but recall...
With every pain, I wipe away your tears.

The pain will end if I, not he, am near...
…Again fond pasts of love, of him, enthrall.
Do not give up this fight so soon my dear.

I am with you, a promise that is clear.
Please trust your heart with me, I'll stop it all.
With every pain, I wipe away your tears.

Darkness gone, rays of light reveal your cheer.
A burden shed, I saved you from downfall.
You won the fight and made it through my dear. 
No pain... no need to wipe away your tears.

Fragrance of lilies
Elusive
Silent faint breeze

Delirium

Clip clop
Swish swosh
Cough, sniffle
Apologies
Chuckle
Slam! Crash
Of metal
Shh…
I’m being watched,
Take a look
At yourself in the mirror
What do you see?
Asshole,
Anger in the eyes.
Punch him, crack him in the
Face.
Internal voice screams
Walk away
Toward,
Nothing
Everything
Anything.
Why?
Pause
Pause
Rewind
Fast forward
Play
Always late.
Close eyes, the mind,
Arrow points the way
Of how to act
Feel, think, be.
Fire in the heart
Frozen solid.
Fall behind
Alone
Dark
No growth, dead.
Warning to slow down
Faster, faster
Spin out of control.
Stop.
Turn engines on
Speed away
Splash of puddle
Wet,
Always raining
No sun,
Come back
Too far.
Everything’s broken
Can’t be fixed
Maybe recycled,
Filtered
Running through gutters
Cascading
Screeching to a halt…
Gotta keep flowing
Going
Don’t look back
Push forward.
Where are they?
Where is this place?
Fluttering in the breeze
Flapping
Fluttering by
Flutterby
Butterfly, here?
Unbelievable
Believe it
Go full circle.
