Of tears unshed.........

Of promises broken
And hearts burnt to a crisp
"Ashes to ashes" they said
"And dust to dust!"

A warrior falls within
Forgotten sensitivities
Are reborn……again
And tears unshed
Drown out the senses

The fear is gone
And hope is a bad dream
Of ringing doorbells
And unbidden phone calls
And tears unshed
Drown out them all

A warrior is breaking down
All over again
For the cause that was once lost
Is shown to him again
A war within
A cry of the soul
There is angst and there are tears
The unshed drown it all

Of promises never meant to be kept
And hope meant to be burnt
"Why?" cries the warrior
Does love always take this toll
As tears unshed
Seep through the hole

A melancholy darkness
A reticent sadness
The code of war is broken
And love kills them all
Of tears unshed
Drowning out it all……………

In search of everlasting peace!!

Nothing left to fight for
Nothing left to try
Whatever the world throws at me
My being becomes a sigh

The warrior in me is dying
A purpose not yet found
The reason he was born
Undiscovered, unfound, unforgiving

A love unloved
Desires lost
In the mediocrity of averages
There is solitude

The warrior in me is dying
As life takes on a new life
And goes down someone else's destiny
My being becomes a sigh

The deeper me is dying
The thinker, the brooder, the intense shitsster
I don’t want him in me anymore
I want to be high or low
Wherever it is that lies peace
My being becomes a sigh

Of puerile nothingness
And the sewer regurgitating up my throat
Of a damp chill
That now wets my throat

The blotted out sun
And dismantled starscape
And a whining moon
In a howling night
I seek peace, a warrior's moan
My being becomes a sigh

I seek a lasting peace
From the variables of my life
A life that’s gone its one way
And taken on someone else's destiny

A penetrating cry in the howling night
An enveloping fury
Triggered by emptiness
A sigh stems from my throat
My being becomes a sigh
