LYRICAL THOUGHTS
SERENADE OF THE DARK WOLF
THE SERENADE OF THE DARK WOLF
Silver ghosts, all alone, with my thoughts, no respite,
Shadows whisper eerily exposing secrets in the night
on a sea of darkness, feeling guilt’s sharpness
a reflection in the water glimmers
fading moonlight dusting shimmers,
eerily exposing secrets of my mind
open for insight, colours of my soul to find.

MY BROTHER
Please forgive me, you unraveled, I did not see.
I was too busy chasing unimportance and futility.
Memories of you flood my thoughts
that naughty smile, the sparkle in your eye,
beautiful velvety brown with lashes long.
You painted life like a dalliance song,
without exception, mischief in every expression.
Your face so much like mine,
you my brother are gone, leaving sadness in my soul.
A candle flickers in the night, slowly, dimming all light.
Moonlight shimmers halos to the cross you bore.
So different, so much the same, no one to blame.
Hidden screaming silences your name.
Please forgive me I forgot what you meant to me; I did not see.
You led your life in quiet desperation waiting for encouragement.
It never came, I forgot, you did your best when I cheered from the sideline,
every victory was for me.
Trying to please us all until your failure left you torn,
trying to be, what you were not.
The photo on my bedside table, lovingly embraced
And daily the mirror reflects your face.
You let your light dim; unspoken pain will always remain.
Please forgive me, you quietly left and only in my dreams said goodbye.
The phone rang it’s all come to an end.
The anger and the love, words left unsaid.
I lie on my bed, listening to the lonely cricket’s cry,
and wonder why I did not try, why it was so easy to walk away
why I always thought there would be another day.
Tears, tears of regret, tears for me, tears for you, too late.
Please forgive me, never can I tell you what I feel,
never can I tell you that I love you, you are gone.
In my soul I speak to you, but even a maggot ridden pigeon will not allow
forgiveness as I wring its neck, the blood is on my hand,
the image so imprinted a significance to your end.
My heart is rendered broken, image haunted.
A candle flickers in the night slowly dimming of all light
Moonlight shimmers halos to the cross you bore
So different so much the same no one to blame
I silently scream at the broken dream.
I just want to see you one more time, hear you call me by that silly name.
I just want to tell you how much you mean to me.
I just want to tell you how much I love you.
I hope you have gone to a better place where demons no longer torment
your mind and soul. I hope you have found peace.
Like a candle flickering you left too soon
My brother I love you.
