Surrender
I swim alone in a raging river.
Dark water pulls me slowly under
and though I yell and grasp for help,
no one is there to see.
Kicking and screaming I fight
to keep my head . . .

At the end of my life, I live,
And dream my way back
Through a thousand acres of time
To when I sat small and unalone,
Listening to the whispers
Of unloved maple leaves.
At the end of my life, . . .

We strive for the secret,
Yet never quite reach it.
And the old are still the young
With grayer hair and paper skin,
While the child plays house
In Mama's clothes,
Innocent, yet knowing. . . .

A lop-sided moon
Shows its pock-marked face,
Smirking in a sky bereft of cloud.
While winter trees stretch,
Twisting their limbs toward the sky,
Lifting their last blood dried leaves in silence, . . .

There is beauty in my dark world Though at times it may seem bleak Flecks of joy taint tears of sorrow That linger on my cheek. Though the gold eludes the rainbow and that makes me want to cry, the colors . . .

Would you mind if I borrowed your dream?
Somebody stepped on mine
And the broken pieces crumble
and scatter more with the passage of time.
And could I maybe stand in your shoes
And try to feel taller . . .

Alone in the darkness, I stand at my window and gaze down on my deserted block, barely lit by a single street lamp. Suddenly, I see him, The old man sitting lonely On the September cold, concrete steps . . .

I decided to post this to a few more groups for those who may not have seen it.
At the foot of a tree Brown wisps of memory Clutter the ground and choke the grass But the tree . . .

Leaning on the cracked, discolored concrete wall,
I stare down into the sluggish green creek.
My eyes focus on faded beer cans,broken bottles,
And semi-shredded pampers.
My thoughts slide inevitably . . .

Lying on my back, gazing at the sky I think of you and I can fly Soaring high over oceans so blue, This makes no sense, but it is oh so true.
In loving you there is no in between. When we're together . . .

My best friend wrote this and gave me permission to publish it here. She has a Gather page, Wendy W. but doesn't visit too often. It is ironic because she is the one who led me . . .

I can't believe you let me down again. I thought you loved me, or at least I was your friend. Nothing is ever perfect, but I didn't expect this pain, Didn't expect you'd drown my heart in a black acidic . . .

It had been a long time since I saw you,
Then somebody told me you died.
Despite all the years, I stopped where I stood,
And I fell to me knees, and I cried.
It's funny how life goes on. . . .

I walked to the edge of the world And looked into the bubbling sea Trying to find the thing that I'd lost Searching for the elusive me. All along I knew I was drowning, Hard to breathe under water with . . .

I carry you beneath my eyelids, Damp and full of love. You collect in my lashes and try to escape as a tear on the run down my cheek But I wrap you in tissue And plant you close to my heart.

There are days when love just isn't enough And I get lost in the muck of other stuff, When little stones become ten feet tall And puddles don't have a bottom at all. There are days when it seems my heart . . .

If I'd died while you still loved me, Then I would never know the pain of watching you walk away and being all alone again. If I'd died in the beginning, before I memorized your face, then I wouldn't . . .

This is something completely out of the box for me. I've been working on it for a while and I kept getting stuck. I guess I have finished it, but I am not sure if I did what I wanted . . .

I watch you walk away And I get scared you won't come back, So my systems start to get muddled and my life gets knocked off track. Deep down I know you love me, But I always want you near. Losing you . . .

I remember No need to explain Both tumbling together down memory lane.
I remember Brings both smiles and tears For all that's happened throughout the years.
I remember No need to supply It's not . . .
