Do not dare


The emptiness inside was as large
As the universe
At least
For
Her
She wanted to fill this
Hole
Crater of a volcano
That eager
To scream
For now
And
All


She went looking
How she can end it all
Looked for her insulin bottle
And thought
Hypo is an old friend
She can make it
The last

Got the bottle
And
The needle
Got hundred units
And her blood glucose
Was hundred
The rule of hundred is applicable
To the point

She stared at the lonely figure there
As if the world has stopped
Beating
Itself
The world had died instantly
So
She has
To follow

The scream of her daughter
Cut the silence
Of the last moment
She left the needle
And ran

The little girl cried
Mum
Are you alive?
I had a nightmare
That
You ended
Your life


They hugged each other
Till morning
The tears were mixed hot
Warmed their lonely existence
Forever
And
She
Lived

There, there, there
Somewhere there
Where there is nothing
And from nothing
Erupt
All

There you can plant meanings
New words
New feelings
And
You never can hide it
From
All

The tears will run hot
And
Cold
But they are real
Not false
The songs will be whispered
Or shouted loud
No difference
Because there,
In the land of nowhere
From nothing
I will erupt
For once
And
All

~ Midnight Solace ~

The sun has long since set.

The midnight hour has begun
to surrender it's reign to the
approaching dawn.

With heavy eyes I abide
in silence while the sun
begins to stir from slumber.

The night has been so very long,
I fear the new day will linger
past it's appointed hour as well.

What unseen thief has
has robbed me of repose?

I pray this season of unrest
is soon quelled.

I yearn to be lost in dream,
I long to have the ebony sky
blanket me in it's mystery.

To be swept away on a
moonbeam odyssey
is my fondest desire.

Stirring thoughts keep
the lullaby of peaceful
solace from me.

Rambling notions stumble
one upon the other
in desperate measure
to be heard,
refusing to be ignored.

Fingers of light
have begun to reach
into my night veiled realm,
they beckon me
to arise and frolic
but the night does not
willingly release it's embrace.

I will soon enough arise
and move about the day,
though my innermost
essence is weary,
I will remain steadfast.

When the ebbing sun
takes it's evening bow
I will once again retreat
to the comfort of my
darkened room and pray
through the night for the
hush of perfect solitude
to encompass me.

That I may awake
to the new day with
renewed strength of
body, mind and
soul.

FORCED FRIENDS IN THE SEA
Diabetes is my constant companion,
I, my body, listens to her,
She makes me watch all of me,
Makes me a better person some days.
I love her for those days.
But not for the hours I wish to be alone
I am the Captain, she the first mate,
I choose good, bad or worse- not she!
Looking inside today
I acknowledge her,
Revere her, knowing my Grand Master
Keeps me safe because of her prods.
And I listen as to a muse
Because she is what she is meant to be
An unwelcome friend who's true
When I take there time to hear.
