Night gathers the shards of my splintering heart,
mending fractures.
Ever mindful,
knowing,
that tomorrow may shred it all apart …

beyond words,
mere paltry scribbled verse,
rolls across empty streets,
while today crawls to a fade,
as night descends,
offering comfort,
the solace of anonymous shade …
A Mangled Heart…
Why do my tears not simply fall,
my heart mangled, cast along these empty streets
a wreck left to rust, bleakly lost in the blurry haze,
my dreams blowing in the dust of the passing days.
Why do my tears not simply fall,
weeping within, fractured inside,
memories of you wounding me still,
a void so vast no one else can ever fill,
cradling memories, glowing with your light,
as another day departs, beckoning one more,

the heavens embracing me,
and a long-lost sense of belonging,
returns,
to hush all gloom.
…
I am one,
alone,
at ease now,
lost in the midst,
of countless shimmering suns.
…
I am one,
alone,
though not lonely,
and as the blanket of darkness,
caresses my soul,
