Tearing Apart

Evening skies are falling

Drenching my heavy heart

Tears from the clouds slash me

Reminding me of my loss

The stillness is

Tearing my heart

Apart

Wetness soaks me

My bones feel cold

Sounds of liquid stones

Pounding 

Penetrating my soul

The stillness is

Tearing my heart

Apart

The smell of the earth’s longing

As she drinks in the rain

Soothes my spirit

Hope perhaps 

Regained – no –

The stillness is

Tearing my heart

Apart

Evening skies groan

Hurling light across the heavens

I sit and remember

Through sight, smell and touch

Through hearing and taste

The stillness inside is

Tearing my heart

Apart

My Burdened Heart

Beneath cold skies of night

My heart beats

Grasping to survive

Trying to not drown

In tears

Quietly I slip into velvet

Blackness

Cold air

Caresses my thoughts

I’m suffocating

Loss of hope

Forgotten dreams

Faith disappears

In the morrow

I’m crushed

Again

My burdened heart

Barely beats

My burdened heart

Beats toward

Nothingness

Nothing becomes safer

Than something

Absent moments

Collide with fears

I’ve no strength

Cold skies of night

Dressed in velvet darkness

Have stolen

My hope

My grace

My faith
