BROKEN DREAMS CAN REARRANGE
In the cracked mirror of broken dreams
So much is lost, as it once seemed
Shattered mosaics by stand of choice
True to image, mute of voice
Fickled visioned loyalties
Passed to only those who see
By pose, by place, by closer stance
Such mirror cracked, such dreams by chance
Yet freedom comes of broken dreams
Mosaics scattered hopes and themes
And as reflections ever change
Broken dreams can rearrange

WORD BABES WITHIN MY SHADOW
I mourn all the words I've lost
Like babes fell from the womb
Lost before first breath
In the air of tombs
For all that called me mother
Let us scribe your dreams
I felt yet never touched
Thru dusk of limbo streams
Stay babes within my shadow
I'm warmed to know your near
For when I feel your light
My pen will write....you clear

War Vs Murder
How long does it take to die
When lead by another hand
And who is to decide
Who lives or who is damned

Gut Feelings
Addicted to the truth
Beyond comprehension
A dialogue of silence
Lost above suspension
Echo, echo nothing
Redundant in the shadows
In the folds of never
Dormant deep below
Drummed upon the ear
Damaged by the sounds
Addicted comprehensions
Felt with out a sound

Loans of Lust
Lies are the currency of the world
Pennies of pity
Nickles of neglect
And dollars of doubt
Lies are the currency of the world
With banks full of blame
Loans of lust
And interests ignored
Lies are the currency of the world
Debts of depression
Interest of ignorance
Yielding yesterday's yearnings
To be tallied
On a balance sheet of
Automatic renewal
Lucky me
Deep and I must say very relevant. Thank you, Anita. Saved...

Take care,

Bill
that's your name...
when the time's up
you're not to blame.
Your wisdom is hundreds and hundreds of years old. You remind me of my daughter Mariah ( here at AD she's Mariah Rowse). She stays silent most times until she writes. Then the wisdom just pours.
Love,
