Dark Drama

​Dark Drama
 

Dark drama passes me by,
Like gray ghosts
Hanging on a whisper.
Wish they would
Pass you by too.
Want you to tell me why
You can’t let it go
And let what will be,
Just be.
 
There’s no hope in
Clinging onto open wounds.
No one else can see the rapture.
There’s a reason why
Everything was born to live
And die within this endless arc
Of vaguely voiced forevers.
Living in that other place,
Where no one can retrace
Goodbye.
 
So I’ll see you on the other side,
Where all things fall away,
Displaying all the lies
That ruled so many lives today.
And we’ll infuse as one living
On the faith that what we’ve done
Was simply dark drama
Passing by like wisps
Of smoke trailing
On the wind.

Dying Star

Dying Star
 
Madness run rampant
If we’d only let it be
Star burning brilliant
In spite of
Life’s expectancy
 
Sitting so complacent
Amid the ifs that won’t see
Or feel the intensity
Of a heat radiating
Encompassing all yearning
Needing the warmth
Of free.
 
It may be a bursting light
Arcing through minds, life;
Yet settling into
An individual coal
Among the many
A lonely aching warmth
 
Life’s expectancy
Empty of
Madness run rampant
