(excerpt)  Sea Of Darkness

Wave after wave engulfs me like quicksand

devouring its prey

Fear so real I can taste it

bellowing up into my throat

it takes my breath away.

(excerpt)   Faded Rose

One day she awoke, loneliness set in

and she sat looking at a stranger

where her reflection once had been.

She silently wonders why,

beauty fades without warning,

and doesn't understand,

what is different about this morning.

(excerpt)   No Tears Up There

How long is long enough to grieve, exactly how many days

or just how many years?

When is enough, enough, is there a certain amount of tears?
