Heartfelt

It's like you are dead,
It's like you are gone.
I can't sense you at all,
But I know you're not done.

I can't see you,
But I remember.
You can't see me,
Though I write from 1 to December.

These words that I write,
May never see the light of your eyes.
The things that I feel,
Are larger than our lives.

I know what I saw,
And I know what I felt
.I saw everything ever,
And your air is what I smelt.

If I reached my hand out,
Would you pull me in close?
One moment again,
Is what I'd treasure the most.

The deaf ears this may fall on,
The heart that has moved on,
We may never have had,
But I saw what we could have gone on.

You may not understand me,
You might simply not care.
But you definitely should realize,
What I saw I couldn't bear.

You were the only one,
To see who I am.
You may be the one,
To act as a dam.

My heart keeps flowing,
Like the water from the sink.
To harness my power,
Take a glass of it to drink.

I would have gave it my best,
If the time would comply.
For a second chance to come,
Would show you no lie.

Washboard Blues

My favourite saying of late Is that I wanna cry. The world has been crumbling around The people The state of affairs The disbelief. I say the words Jokingly But there's a piece of me That would kindly accept A tear... Or two. There have been more days Than less That I could use a reset button. I would start it all again, There are times where I regret Everything. If I wanted to live with no regrets I probably could have done more I probably could have said more I should have meant more. Morbidity Mortality Time... All things weighing me down. There's this sudden end It's coming soon Sooner for some Not soon enough for others But it's coming. If I was to go right now Away Gone Left it all behind... I don't want anyone to think of me After the fact. I don't think many will Some might A passing glance Something to do But I'll be gone Somewhere more To where I'm supposed to be. Africa Asia Europe Or Beyond. I haven't quite decided Yet But I will.

Snowy Interval

Our winter is right around the corner And the thought takes me back To when we found ourselves Last time around In the coldest of days. Even in those harshest of elements In the coldest of all the months I couldn't feel the chill Because between your smile and your words They were the best of days. And just like the unpredictable Alberta weather The storms rolled in I tried to stand my ground Withstand the worst of what it could throw Until I found the peace to know the storm was me. The summer months were devastating The air was dry The sun was unrelenting It was a record year But the chill in the empty hole was all I knew. The leaves have been falling awhile The mind wanders when unchecked Smelling the weather changing Has the heart reeling For another one of those great snowy intervals.

Not Yet

I'm trying to resist It shouldn't really happen I don't even know for sure. It's a good thing Not knowing keeps me from falling Too far from too much.
