"Speaking Truth"Hearing and seeing,
such simple senses.
When you avoid using them,
Chaos commences.
Knowing you have nothing,
words seem passe.
Keening a loss,
you feel piteous to say.
Dealing directly,
while it would solve every doubt,
pours salt on a cut
you can't clearly spell out.

"To Lose Again"
Grieving for a loved one,
who ceases to exist.
Never dreamed I'd lost,
the chance to make amends
The person that I loved,
replaced with dogmatic fill.
The spark that drew my heart song
wears an empty look of chill
Going through the motions now,
absolves a little pain.
Inexplicable change shifts our scene,
I mourn cherished shadows that remain.
