Scars

I struggle to imagine
The hell
That you 

Have lived through.

You've fought battles
Not your own
Walked the line
Between good and evil.

Glimpsed faces,
Scarred
With the hatred
That dwells within man
When only he
Allows it room
To fester and grow
Into something evil
Uncontrollable
Ferocious and ugly.

You wake up
Hoping, praying
It was all just
Another nightmare.
Truth is,
This is
Your reality.

Winter

Winter's breath lingered
But not for long
Somehow it knew
It's time had come
To move on.

Quietly
It whispered it's farewell
Echoed in the cool breeze
And dying embers
Of fires long gone.

Nothing could stop
The coming of Spring
Bright blooms 
Promises of fresh starts
Untouched skin
Paths waiting 
To feel the weight
Of faithful feet.

Spring came 
Full of promise
For winter had thawed
Even
The coldest of hearts.

Dreams

What happened 
To all your dreams?
They were big
And brave,
Full of courage 
And determination.
Now you've all
But settled
For the comforts 
Of this world,
With all it's charms
It's easy to stray.
One day,
I hope your eyes
Are opened to the Truth
Once more.
You've so much to offer,
That I know
For I was with you
As you dreamed
Those dreams
Big and brave.

Honey

You're sweet
Like honey
You're poetry
To my ears.
I gave more
Said I care,
Now that would be
Just another lie

I hurt 
When you hurt
I cried 
When you cried

Now 
That's past,
You've gone
And left this space.

I'll wait
Surely
There will come
Another

Hope

Light fades
As day waits
For night 
To take over

Hope fades
As she waits
For you
To find her.
