Precious Pause With Poppers
And All My Spare Parts
Salty goodbye kisses, as tears linger, puddled, in my eyes
Falling down like summer rains at the thought of your demise
The haunting look of death, rest’s waiting on your every breath
I search helplessly to find a rhythmic beating in your chest
Father daughter kisses, reassurances of love
Knowing that kind of love, will continue up above
The fragile frail heart breaks, at the shattering of life
Escaping to the void into the dark secrets of night
The thought of letting go completely chills me to my core
I want to start again, I need to love you more
But the clock has run it course
And the ticking hands have stopped
No time for my remorse
Life’s final gavel, has been dropped
So, I will kiss your brow, and gently touch your face
I will see you again, another time, another place

Confessions of an Empath
The birds are chirping, and the sun is shining in a cloudless July sky. The vibrancy promises a beautiful day, but the cooing of the Mourning Dove perched on the powerlines seems to be more fitting than the lively songs of the robin flitting through the trees. The melancholic calls of the dove cloak the world in a sadness that hangs like tattered drapes.
