Silence in the dooryard
The first of many days
Future quiet
Traces soon to fade
Trails blazed, reclaimed
Returned to nature’s grasp
Remains
Interred beneath the grass
Tag Archives: Death
Tearing up the carpets
Pulling all the tacks
Staring at the walls
Always looking back
Wandering the paths
Where we used to play
Heart sinks
Holding to the memory
Last light
Last night on Earth
So many happy memories, all owed to her
Thirteen years will never seem enough
Time is short in the life of a dog
Shorter Lives
If I could hold time in my hands
I’d wrap it like a gift
I’d give it all to you
Every single bit
I’d wish away the pain
All the struggles of old age
I’d see you spend your days
Resting or at play
Laying in the garden
Driving neighbors mad
Going for long walks, then sleeping like the dead
My head is full of memories
Most happy, some sad
Unconditional love is something rare to have
Interference
The ever expanding page
Modern day magic
Data received, signal sent
Destined to fade, but growing ’til then
I transmit myself, trying to defend
Life
Finite band
Transference
Outlive the skin
Universal Destination
Darkness defines the beginning
Encompasses the end
There’s the in-between
Then pre and post oblivion
No amount of wishing
All the fighting in the world
Nothing alters fate
All ways lead into the cold
Decade of Regret
Last connections to a past life
Signals start to fade
Twelve years wasn’t long enough
Please don’t go away
Hollow Subjects
The stray comes ’round again, looking for a meal
Always keeps its’ distance, never comes to heel
Appeal with gentle words
It doesn’t mean a thing
Desperation dictates
Hunger is king
Fear, his queen
Absolute power
Control complete
Sunken cheeks
Sharp hips
All ribs
Painful image
Edge of nothingness
Another Lost Realm
Placid surface, betraying the undertow
Stray too deep, find kingdoms down below
The unknown, home to bottom feeders
Silhouettes of bones, dungeon filled with hungry creatures
Consuming decay
Beggars can’t be choosers at the end of the chain
Bad Trade
I’ve rolled the dice countless times
Gambled with the light
Left my future up to chance
Let many pass me by
I’ve wasted days of youth
Grew up far too quick
Learned lessons about life, and what it means to live or take it
I’m debased, remade as something less
New perspectives bring no peace
Only deepening regrets
Consequence
