Twenty years
have come and gone
still there are tears.
How to recover?
I do not know
Where to turn?
I cannot say.
I feel just as I did -
wrenching pain
of loss
and still
the world looks on
as if nothing is amiss.
The only change are
the number of years
nothing else
nothing quite seems real.
Grieve engulfs me
terribly
hammers at my resolve.
I must carry on
continue on,
the dream must stay alive!

When you Love Someone
It hurt bad
I know
I can see it on your face.
When they leave you
their essence flitters everywhere.
you may find a penny
they left you
sweet smell of roses
assail you
try to comfort you.
The scent of them lingers
memories embrace and tell you
of much warmer days.
Something shifts inside you
touch deep, deep inside you
then all you can do
is just cry.
Cry until you don't have to
because they loved you
and you loved them.
When you love someone
they never really leave you.
What Not to Say
What Not to Say It's funnny how you go intending to show you much you care. You trample the fragile grass of hope, left in reserve for a time when hope is scarce. "Sorry for your loss" is tossed like a sauce that stings an empty soul. A tear forced here, cracked voice there that offers no warmth to those now left in the cold. "So how did he die?" A dagger in the heart, a fresh wound bleeds with each uttered breath. Maybe next time you will get the report that pays for the salt you carried for treating the wounds. "I will talk to you then." A promisory note that brings us to the end of a most difficult talk.
