Many words
Bound, silent pages
Emotions
Rising up
Unable to keep quiet
They speak in volumes

Twas once a home, standing
Now, broken down and torn
Vines of leaves, hide its eaves
With branches, full of thorns
Windows, in many pieces
No curtains, do they hold
Still, he sees, beyond the trees
The humans, stark and cold
Hunching between the layers
Of bricks, still standing here
He cries in vain, and yet, again
Promises, never, to disappear
Left alone and long forgotten
He stays hidden, never exposed
By grass so high, as time slips by
He sleeps, in quiet repose
But…
Should you happen to pass this way
And you hear the whisper of a sigh
Don’t stop to look, at what’s in the nook
It’s much safer, to keep walking by

One short errant shot
Taken, a vibrant, young life
Finds eternity

“It’s this newfangled thing
Come on, we have to try it!”
“I’m not liking what I see,
Not sure I want to buy it!”
“It’s a cupcake in a mug,
But you don’t get to drink it”
“Looks a little odd to me,
You might want to rethink it.”
“Now, don’t be a silly nilly
All we need to do is bake it”
“Am I supposed to like this?
‘Cause I don’t think I can fake it.”
“Trust me, you’ll love this
Would I ever steer you wrong?”
“Well, there was this time when…”
“Okay, let’s move along!”
“Patty, I don’t understand you,
Why must you try this thing?”
Well, Gerry, how I see it, is
It might make my taste buds sing.”
“Let’s hope that’s all it does
Or you’ll scare away the neighbors”
“Very funny, ha ha ha,
So will you try this flavor?”
“Okay, okay, I’ll give it a try,
And pray it’s the last one you ever buy…”

Dear John, I began
It is time to call it quits
There is nothing left
We never talk anymore
I cannot go on like this
