GOLDEN WISH

It left my lips
Into the wings of the wild winds
Like untamed stallion holding it back was impossible
The word had it's progeny
A vague replica of the sire
No one could tell what it meant anymore
Or exactly what was said
For it was said off record
And heard in the false echo by the right ears
From the wrong source and medium
That which was well meant smelled like a maleciois rumor
Truth and cover-up looked like sons of the same womb
Flames of distrust and suspicion eating away the flesh of noble intention
Love of brothers soured into notable contention
Acred stench of regret suffocating my solitary mind
How I wished the golden septor of silence had governed my lips
The words and intention would have descended like the son of man
Coming with the clouds of heaven at the right hand of God the Father
But all that was left for my use was a valuable lesson to be kept in the chest of wisdom

OVERSTAYED VISIT

You don't need me So I thank you for the good you have done I say it in silence That way you will not sense the silent good bye It hurts me that our business in your face is done But I will remember we were brothers I will pray for you For my prayer is that you fly high and steady in the strong winds I will not forget that you helped me And the much I am or will be will acknowledge you But tonight I will pack what I can And leave your house brother Not groaning For all of us are guests in each others lives In my case I must have overstayed my visit I hope love never grows old I will find peace when it thrives again But now It is obviously used.

THE PARADOX

The fact that the reason to hold on is bigger than the reason to give up Does not trivialize your pain The fact that you neither shed a tear nor made a sound Does not mean you never cried The fact that you smiled all through the ceremony does not mean you were happy The fact that you are alive and happy Does not mean you aren't dead A strange ghost animating your body Not your dream self The fact you woke up with a plan Does not mean you aren't drifting through life The fact that you love a song Does not mean it makes you happy The fact that you woke when the alternative seemed lucrative Tells that you have outsmarted the paradox once more

KINDRED

I wish I had a friend Whose loyalty would never bend Walk with me miles on end Be plain and never pretend A cynic who would blend But to me be a kindred A spirit that knows me Keep me and my secrets just as I would  To the very end
