the silence
There is no protection
Against the silence,
The words desperately
Wanted; the never spoken
Neither lovingly nor in
Anger. The silence
A dagger even blunt
Turns the kindest of soulsInto murderers

As your words fell flat
As your words fell flat, I picked them up & I nailed them Or with glue attached them thus: To a piece of papyrus; deadwood. As the stack grew higher, Piled up towards the heavens, I chose a few for safekeeping, To get me by when times got rough. Now with the bells tolling, the Time is right to say the things I Never minded then; back when the Storm raged in full. I will bind you; line your legacy for a Future you; a future me to watch, A ghost among many ghosts To haunt me
an eerie silence
There is silence,
An eerie silence,
On the dark side of the moon,
And in the bedroom,
Where you once roamedThe dark bark of the dog gone quiet,
The limp limbs of nocturnal rendezvous,
Neither amiss considering the plights,
The might of fear at night turned
To lifeItself
web of lies
I weave a web of lies / ‘fore God’s susceptible eyes / I squash the bugs that slithers / emerging from ‘neath the bush / She wore no high heels / a hazily memory recall / our nocturnal rendezvous / all too short / yet worms surfaced / slithering & ripe for a final reckoning / she no longer strolls the shaded sidewalks / I carry her legacy with me / her memory fading as the decades pass / my regular returns to the undergrowth / my slithering moves / remains

The Comic Strip
If I were
A comic strip
There would be black clouds
Hovering
Rain falling on a sunlit patio
Threeway communication on
Two-way streets between
Single-minded & one dimensional
Cardboard cutouts
If I were
A comic strip
I would be the reader
The master teller
The doodler colouring
Their bleakness
Away
