When Will Our Tears Reach The Sea by Tex We cry out, sending our pain into the darkness, As our breath curls into a soft breeze. Like puffs of dust under the feet of elephants, it disappears. Where do we turn, when Comfort isn't enough? Still is the wind and stale the air, When we don't know what to do or whom to turn to. Will the ache in our hearts subside, stop even? Wafting across the waves... Why won't the current come in and take our pain away? We cry in turrets of rain that flow down every street. The wind drafts our fear into the night, As a river of tears never reaches the sea. |

I have six brothers. Three older and three younger. The one just older than me and I were always close growing up. He now has cancer. Out of all of us kids I am the only one who is a 100% match for a bone marrow transplant. He however, has decided not to do the procedure. His children and I have tried, to no avail, to convince him to do it. This next poem is for him. I was very emotional when I wrote it so it may not be perfect. 3 Likes 3 Shares |

The Stars Are Blue Tonight by Tex We used to lie beneath the stars And talk about our hopes and dreams. They shined bright for us so many nights, As we talked about our plans and schemes. Our minds still innocent. Not yet jaded...all seemed possible. Our hearts reflected the lights in the night sky. The world still our oyster...still noble. On those nights...we were the best of friends. So alive! All was well. Cocooned in a world of our own, To you my secrets tell. In those days we created a bond, A connection never to be broken. The links between hard as steel...unbreakable! A love shared, but not always spoken. Experience and life have separated us. Our paths divergent it seems. To each a life of our own. No longer together under those radiant beams. It's always been me and you. Please let me share your fight. Without you the gloom sets in And the stars are blue tonight. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Untitled By Tex A lonesome sound whispers on the wind. It ruffles my hair and chokes my cries, As if to remind me of a closeness long forgotten. An unremembered melody, Like a sigh that floats upon the air. It dances and sways among the trees, Blowing through the windows of my mind, Scattering leaves across the floor in hues of red and gold. A pungent scent, unrecognized, yet familiar Ascends to set in motion its proliferation. It's fragrance swirls around the room. A gust picks it up and carries it Across the threshold of my memory, Into the empty spaces of my heart To settle there, as if to stay. With this influx, an expansion begins. It ebbs and flows, hollowing out closed off spaces And filling them with its sweet music. Like an amphitheater, the sound echoes off the walls. It fills the air...no longer consigned to oblivion. 2 Likes 1 Share |

HAIKU Nobody Cares Anyway A lonely owl's cry Into the night sky he flies Sap dripping from trees Butterflies Natures blanket wrapped From humble beginnings till gossamer wings fly Tarzan Swooping down from above He who swings from tree tops high Calling Mary Jane 9/11 Like snow in winter Ashes floating to the ground Cold forgetful hearts Into Thy Arms Oh Lord A lifetime of love Golden leaves fall gracefully And the sun sets Intolerance Intelligent life? Lapdogs loudly bark Elephants go stomping Love or Hate Seeds that drift aloft Propagating fruits thereof In our hearts dwelling 2 Likes 2 Shares |

River of Dreams by Tex Ever changing It flows As it consciously cascades over and along its path. Bending and twisting It flows As it steadily streams toward the sea. Like life's blood It flows As it roars rapidly over rocky terrain. Staying the course It flows As it buoyantly bears my box of dreams. Unceasingly It flows Washing away worries and woes, As it spills into a sea of tranquility. 1 Like 1 Share |

BREASTWORK by Tex Always there when shadows come creeping. A sentinel, a watcher in the night. Born out of commitment, bonded by love, Safe passage my heart's desire. Secure in the warmth of my arms. “Breastwork”...your training within walls to prove, A test, a battle for your soul ensues. Vanquish all foes...stock the pyres. Devotion, affection, concern. Sovereignty initiated, Driven to covet, but tasked to release. Careful tutelage required. Apprentice awake...Stations take! Advance! Crashing waves and stormy night skies. Therein your independence be provoked Breaking the bonds of faith mired. Vanished! So quickly it has passed. Time...the enemy of all who bear fruit. |

I wrote this poem for my brother Lee when he kept putting off the stem cell transplant. It is here on this thread. This is my tribute to a brother whom I love dearly.  <3He was always "Bucky" to me. We were so close growing up. I followed him around like a puppy when we were kids. He probably hated having his little sister around. As teens we often sat around a fire, or lay under the stars and talked for hours. The years and the miles got between us, and that closeness faded into the background somehow. When we did get together though, he always had that "Bucky" smile for me, and that contagious laugh we all loved. When it was time to say goodbye he'd get serious, put his arm around me and say, "I love you Geraldine." I loved it when he called me Geraldine. No one else called me by my given name. It was our thing. We were "Bucky and Geraldine", best buds and confidants. The way he said it always brought me back to our childhood. It made me feel special, like that bond we had was still there. My whole world is blue tonight. ************ The Stars Are Blue Tonight We used to lie beneath the stars And talk about our hopes and dreams. They shined bright for us so many nights, As we talked about our plans and schemes. Our minds still innocent. Not yet jaded...all seemed possible. Our hearts reflected the lights in the night sky. The world still our oyster...still noble. On those nights...we were the best of friends. So alive! All was well. Cocooned in a world of our own, To you my secrets tell. In those days we created a bond, A connection never to be broken. The links between hard as steel...unbreakable! A love shared, but not always spoken. Experience and life have separated us. Our paths divergent it seems. To each a life of our own. No longer together under those radiant beams. It's always been me and you. Please let me share your fight. Without you the gloom sets in And the stars are blue tonight. I love you Bucky ❤️ 13 November 1962 - 10 September 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_5Mbn9rEx4 1 Like |

Death is such a sad thing The inevitable visitor That separates us from our beloved It takes away what we can't get back But leaves memories that bring tears The feeling of 'never going to see you again' Is so terrible that only you understands How you feel at that very moment. We can't call it wicked Because we are all going someday It is just so sad it came so early But what can we do? Than to wish the dead... May the soul of 'Bucky' rest in peace. Take heart Tex. 1 Like |

There is a hollow place in my heart Where silence echoes off the walls And sadness reigns. |

Brighter days are ahead, Tex, I promise you. What I can't promise is if that hollowness will ever be filled, but the sadness will eventually stop reigning in the hollow place. My sincere condolences, dear. 1 Like |
