DEEPEST SLEEP

THERE IS A WORLD OUTSIDE OF ME, LOOMING THERE
IT SAYS IT WANTS ME, BUT I ABSOLUTELY  DON’T CARE
IF I SHOULD AWAKEN, OH WHAT WOULD HAPPEN THEN?
MONSTERS AND DEVILS,  EVIL WITCHES  AND BAD MEN
WOULD GOBBLE ME UP, THROW ME UNDER OUR FLOOR
NO!NO!, I will continue to hide and never!!!Open the door.!!!!!!!!

ONE WAY TICKET

As I rest and slumber in the dark of night
There’s a face appears with flashing light
All aboard! cries a voice, so loud and clear
No return ticket needed, your heaven’s here!

THE HAND OF THE HEART

IF MY HAND SHOULD BE MY HEART
AT THIS MOMENT, RIGHT HERE, NOW
IT WOULD BE CLOSING EVER SLOWLY
AND RETURNING TO THE VERY START

I’D RECALL DREAMS THAT ONCE TOLD
HOW ALL HAD LEFT ME, ALL HAD GONE
DREAMS LIKE LIFE’S NOT AS IT SEEMS
AND, LOVE’S AN ILLUSION, ALL IS COLD

BUT TO FOLLOW WHAT  I ONCE WAS TOLD
AND LET MY HAND-HEART SQUEEZE SHUT
LISTEN TO A DARK, DEEP VOICE OF MISERY
THEN SWIFTLY AND SILENTLY, I’LL BE OLD.

Words

Are the words, a way to get lost?
Are they not worthy of their cost?
Who knows the  value, they carry?
Let’s work it out, but first let’s tarry.

GOD SINGS

There is a brush of breath, on my cheek,
And song begins, from beneath my feet
Can it be, perhaps  a song from on high
The meaning? of the breath, of the sigh?

ARISE ARISE

Is it possible the fear, the lostness is a path?
The hand that grasps, and claws at my heart?
Plays spiritual melody, with a message for all?
After the hell, a mystical rising, from the fall?

DEEP SLEEP

AND MY SLEEP IS VAST AND DEEP
AND MY BREATH IS A SLOW DEATH
AND I SUFFER SILENT, CRUCIFIED
AND WAIT TO AWAKEN, AND ARISE

BEING CAUTIOUS

I wish I had eyes in the back of my head
Even when the day comes, that I'm dead
So I could know who is standing  behind
You can never know what's on their mind,

MY SIGHT AND ME

It is hard to see the things, so near to me
Why just the other day, I hugged a tree!
I thought it was a person, warm and true
And, with my arms around it, I felt you!!

Trish 2019

I WAS WITH YOU

I follow you, as you tell me how it was
To yearn for another’s attention and love
I see the light, held high up, in your hand
And I nod my head, you see, I understand.

THE BOW THAT BREAKS

There is a tree at our front door,

It’s branches are so heavy laden

With memories and sad sounds

Of those who first made them.

And placed them upon that tree,

In newspaper, and strong string
Now all the tree’s branches broke

And the dead bird can finally sing.

AROUND MY THROAT AND HEART

There is a hand, held tight around my throat
And a chain wrapped tight around my heart
And my chest is full of shadows and darkness,
Swallowed for all those, completely heartless.

A DIFFERENT WAITING

I look and look, wait and wait
It’s not like waiting at our gate
No, no, this waiting is pure bliss
Like sweetness of the purest  kiss.

A DIFFERENT WAITING

THE GOD OF IT ALL

In my dreams I listen and hear

It hovers, then will disappear

Even awake, it’s there, and gone

But a  melody, is now, its song.

THE ANSWER

Is there even an answer, to it all?
I now doubt that there actually is
But suppose, there truly was one?
It might be peace, love and live?

THE WAIT OF IT ALL

‘It’s the wait that kills me’ he said
And it’s as if, I’m in, over my head
And, it isn’t a fear? or anticipation?
No, as if, I’m left behind at the station.
