Such a Cold Bitch
Her words are arrows
poison tipped
with sharp barbs
along the shaft
to make sure
when they hit
their mark
they will stick
sting
and cause
permanent damage
dont let her see
the wounds she creates
or she will pour in
acid
to eat away
at your insides
she makes my balls
shrivel
A Moment of Weakness
Slip to small
and sink on in
as comfort
is found
among
feathered fronds
thst gently cradle
aching form
and absorb
falling tears
to transform
sadness and pain
into nurturing
and growth
as drips
soak into the earth
The Path Forward
Where does it go
that bend
in the path
what lies
just out of sight
if I follow it round
what waits
to be seen
will another bend
tease me onward
just another mile
to sate
my curiosity
another hour
to exolore
and where will I
end up
The Cycle
Decay slips in
within
autumnal embrace
and life is
leeched out
stolen
transformed
gifted to the green
that grows everywhere
spreading
to cover the world
in life
grown from
the crumbling bits
of what is left behind
Translucency
Torn and tattered
among debris
I stand
feeling broken
in the shelter
of loving arms
as tears fall
like raindrops
to saturate
all that I see
I am not alone
and yet…
Cause and Effect
Look closer
at the small miracles
and see the gift
of new life
that rises
eagerly
from the decay
of what has fallen
and is left behind
take time
to breathe
and watch these miracles
unfold
and discover
where true magic
lives
