Haven’t a place to begin
sorting through old tapes.
The aftermath,
sometimes would chase me in
leaving little remaining wrath,
only hope and peace but running laps.
Haven’t found a solution
only a quiet, a reckoning.

She is a quiet love
skies above
would speak of her
dismissing the other
the trials of living sane
would mock her insane
outlook on life
filled with a strife.
It is in the union of peace
all the old tapes would release.

Always in the back of my head
I have a responsibility
Given free reign, drive ahead
figure out culpability.
~
I remember when I did
where I was and what was said
~
Standing on the bridge that afternoon
we could feel the river below us
swoon and listen to the birds in tune
the moment is ours we did, well was.
~
I wouldn’t forget a face like yours
she cried, he feared, a shadow near.
Wasn’t anything left, no befores
Now is when the dances end I fear.
~
I remember when I did
where I was and what was said.

We stood inside this harmony
listening to a quiet Moon,
our hearts together some melody
we would only lose too soon.
~
One kind of love she would say,
meant to live only in fantasy.
One kind of life she would say,
meant without any scrutiny.
~
He would call out definition.
She would criticize it cryptic
his loss would be no solution
to a quiet moon for a skeptic.
~
Whenever I might again return
sort of memory driven and familiar
I’d always hope for and yearn
some reminder we’ve been together.

Under the moon, an autumn summer
Is where I belong in some forever
Under the moon, an autumn moon

When we wish
feel a warmth
inside
touch our soul
might the world know
we who wonder
would, could, want
this love
an imagined feeling
deep inside
the root of who we are
chasing hearts
in a silent repose.

Oh people speak
they don’t know the truth
inside a hidden
state of mind.
~
We might all
look at the moon
walk away
feeling less in tune.
~
Yes we don’t speak
for to reveal ourselves
might risk this our humanity.
~
Lost inside fear
is a one time ability
to express
natural compassion.
~
Instead
we do shelter lives
when personal tragedy
defines loss.
~
Oh we don’t speak
though inside
we imagine the
creaking bend
an old stairwell,
the one that haunted
what once …
~
a beginning.

I wish I could
vanish into the night
a rainstorm
wet pavement
running culverts
all indicators
that can only be visible,
hard to hide a
spring storm,
hard to imagine
a life lost found.
I’d like to experience
a ‘New York Minute’
Don Henley
speaking to the fear,
a man has
living inside
a silent storm,
the effect of which
can only be felt
when walking
inside a river of tears.
I wish I might disappear
my secrets no longer fear.

It wasn’t with you,
nor her,
a stranger I suppose,
someone with a heart.
a value for life, for love,
the human compassion of a giving soul,
yet,
it wasn’t you,
nor her,
a stranger I suppose
someone with a heart
that left me feeling more alone,
than I might ever imagine,
a flood of tears would
follow then,
in the quiet of a lovely spring night.
A sunset over the horizon
slowly dipping into the clouds,
but yet enough to want to share
with you,
not her,
and this stranger so kind and giving
yet still
I left the walk
and felt the tears begin to gather,
so many questions,
such wonder
how could it be that I feel so lost
when I am giving this new identity
a home in my own silent self.
It wasn’t with you,
nor her
a stranger I suppose
someone with a heart.
I found myself crying alone,
wondering if there may ever be … you.

Well wonder
what might be
swirling winds nearby
haunting rafters
in certain communication.
Love does not
will not
while routines find purpose
there in the silence
runs the conscience
that place private
where quiet smiles
mean less the obvious
stead discretionary
yearn.
A hope he carries across the city
might be a flash
a moment
when she
when an owl
simplicity
gave melody in the night.

I can feel the silence around me
a steady wind outside whistles free
well beyond my state of mind
life’s normalcy sweet remind.
The world in a panic a lonely
refuge becomes a challenge ably
fought by one with strength –
lead beyond any sorrow’s length
I want a silence I can feel
not a mandate in reveal
I feel my peace is a weep
lost in fallow might I leap
Real tears as I do find words
mark my sadness so absurd.

A little bit of me, with a little bit of you. A little of the old mixed with the new. A little too loud, a little too shy. A little grounded and a little high. A little bit of sad and a little bit of laugh. A little bit of evrything i carry in my heart. This is my blog that highlights other works, for my poems and musings please follow me on http://myshellecongeries.wordpress.com/
