Absence 

(Haiku String)

When the winter wind

Stirs through the dark barren trees

It whispers of you

I can barely breathe

When your picture comes upon

The screen of my mind

Unavoidably

When someone mentions your name

I lose a heartbeat

I can scarce believe

How empty my world appears

Without you in it

In another realm

In dreams when I speak with you

You give me purpose

Now in the darkness

It is easy to fathom

The light that you shined

In humility

I admit my lack of strength

Without your presence

It's hard not to fall

In the void you left behind

When you had to leave

There is not a time

When I do not think of you

Know this is the truth

My friend I miss you

There is emptiness within

Each passing moment

The absence of you

Is a constant throbbing ache

Deep within my soul

I shall not be healed

Until we can meet again

Our friendship confirmed

God... You would not believe it if I told you.

Abandoned

it’s all empty now

this house that used to be

a home

it stares at passers-by

dark eyes

from empty window frames

sometimes

shards of glass

in the grass

glisten like tears

in midday sunlight

midnight moonlight

sometimes

voices come from within

could be ghosts

or just the wind

moaning and hurting

yes there’s an aching

palpable

like a bruised

and battered heart

a broken soul

it’s all empty

those who know

know it’s all because

she went back

on her word
