The Night

Sky of darkness,
Sky of comfort,
in the night I find
all the things hidden
by the day.

Sky of darkness,
Sky of comfort,
in the night I find
safety, security
and peace.

Pain

I shout, but nobody hears me.
I cry, but no one sees my tears.
Only the glass knows my pain,
Only the glass can help me now.
It cuts deep in my arm, releasing
The demon that haunts my soul.


I'm a big believer in honesty. So heres me being honest: I'm a cutter. When I feel an emotional overload, I reach for a piece of glass. If thats not available any sharp object will do. The pain and sight of blood does ease what I feel and allows me to cope. Last night was just such a night. But instead of cutting I wrote that poem.

Sunset

Sunset,
Red clouds on a dark blue sky.
Sunset,
Children playing a game of stickball.
Sunset,
Taking a stroll in the park.
Sunset,
The city sleeps.

For Sasha

Two hearts together
Now live apart.
Seperated ONLY by miles,
Bound by the arms of Love

The Year Gone By

2009 was a hellish year. Fret with pain, Suffering
homelessness and loss. But, Like an old man who
spent his younger years being mean and cruel.
And in his old age looking for redemption is loving
and kind. The twilight of '09 brings love and the
beginnings of clarity into my life once more.
With hope I look forward to 2010.

Love

Love is a four letter word,
Love will set you free,
Two hearts wanting to be heard,
Love is Sasha and Bri.

Time's Arrow

They say things get better with time,
But time does not erase memories and
feelings of things done in years gone by.

The past has been a time of great pain
and hurt from which there has been
no reprieve.
