“As the Sun Wakes”

As the sun wakes,
Thunder and lightning
Blanket his face
And shut his shining.

Might as well!
This day will be the same:
Where I suffer our love –
And you forget my name.

Cockroach

When ever you saw a cockroach
you’d scream.
I’d compel you and tease you and
You’d run –
Now, you just remain in parts of
My dreams
You have taken the parts of me
That were fun.
Today, I saw a cockroach and
I smiled;
It reminded me of us for a
little while.

Turn Away

Every night as I sleep near you,
Your back is turned to me;
And through this journey of my pain –
Your back is all I see.

It’s like a time worn barricade
Of distance and no relief,
Quietly, in the dark, I type
And deal alone with grief.

Somewhere in your heart, you must know:
I’ve no one left but you;
But each night, a turning-away
Is all I get from you.
