Late December.

Passing the time, with wondering mind
Wrapped in darkness shivering
Rhythms play in my head

Walking in this rainy night…
Clearest in the numbing cold,
       I feel safe.

Worlds from my past
Flow chaotic, on a tune…
Quietly hummed, the process resumes:


  So steal a beat, add repeat
    Meld a theme, to think in stream...
    Remind your mind to lose some time
  And coat yourself in nature's rhyme

To selfishly star in your self-styled stories,
And dwell in past with love you’d forgotten
Open the wounds that once you did cover
Open them up, to help you recover

So kindle the fire to slight you regrets...
Make silly the story, half-hidden, you fret
You’re always so lovely, though rarely so kind
It’s not what you bury, but what’s in your mind

Pain's a jester, So sweet is her nectar
In darkness, lovers did sigh
But when you remember, that cold cold December
In darkness, lovers will cry



So spin, spun a song for myself,
Selfishly crying then laughing
It's too bad I feel nothing.
I feel nothing at all.

Tired the numbness, though it must love us
Anything’s better, than nothing at all
Standing numb to shiver
Would be better to quiver
Isn't this silly, makes no sense at all

Let the cold rain of night, freeze my heart warm.
And muffle my mind, to let loose the storm
And chain it to rhythm, to set ups the streams
To quiet the demons, and silence the screams:

Of Rage and of Worry,
Of Fear and Regret
The Tragic, the Bitten
The Burned and the Set

Upon which I list and I wax in my rage...
Let the cold rain of night-
Make me shudder contained
To mirror my shiver and cover the pain.

And if all was made clever, and all was made terse
Then roll back the black torrent in a spate of rhymed verse
If your rhythm’s not platinum, but you flow just the same
Search more then the phrases; sung true they will tame...

As I keep walking, words of rhyme fill my mind
For a time, I find peace--an emotional release

But sweeter’s the feeling
Where void stood before...
It only seems tragic if too often ignored...

The reasons for meanings
The fear before rage
The hum before singing
The feelings left saved

Catching chaos now fleeing
At the door we must part...
It’s was only me walking, to unbury my heart...
