Without Goodbye

We talked for hours
The time flew by, without
a single thought of
anyone else
Just the two of us, sharing
laughing, listening
dreaming, of a better
world, a better tomorrow
For us

Then you’re gone
Not a moment’s notice, not
a word nor a wave
leaving me confused
Why did you stop by,
why did you stay so long
only to disappear
From my view

And I ponder the moment
we met
The happiness, the joy
the sorrow, the tears
And I can’t help
but wonder
why you left
without goodbye.

Lost Among The Living

They walk among us
Shrouded figures in black hooded cloaks
With glistening eyes no one can see
A fierce determination no one can feel

Asking again,
“Is my journey not over
What keeps me here
Someone please answer”
But no one can hear
“God, can you help me
I can only feel fear”

Pleading one last time
Into darkening skies
They lower their heads
And silently cry…

Convicted and cursed
Now broken and ungiving
They are simply shadows
Forever lost among the living

gino

A gentle soul
Never thinking of himself
Always caring for the ones
Who couldn’t care for themselves

A gentle soul
A funny man
Who made us laugh
Even in our darkest hours

A gentle soul
Taken from us too soon
Needed for a higher purpose
Yet even in death
He lives on in others

A gentle soul named Gino
1/28/53 – 10/13/03

Perdition’s Flames

A crowded room
Bodies sway to the beat
Of melodies unheard

Blank faces stare beyond
Looking at each other
And looking at no one

Silently they disappear
Through the passage
Into clouds of smoke
From burning embers
Of perdition’s flames

The Storm

Light blazes across the night
As God awakens the skies
Another soul makes its journey
Upward toward peace
And the clouds gather and weep
For those left behind
