Dark is the bleakest of nights,
when no choices are left but that of soles condemnation,
when forever was waited for one to hold tight,
when empty loneliness has been life's plight,
when all through out life that which had value was striped away into the night,
when all dreams are left nought but only one left given then fought,
when nothing is left to look forward to but that which the thief now tries to stealith away into the night,
when silenced is the cry to be heard but ignored is the warnings in decay,
when all through life the cheek has been turned when wrongs have been done,
Now comes the last choice of condemnation when the cheek no linger turns.
now comes the choice to choose the never wanted to be done,
to fight for a last dream till the last breath issues forth,
in the end the loss only truly belonging to that which is held close,
to this is held a final tear.

I AM HERE

It is morning and I am here.
6 AM. The radio rattles on
About the weather. Sun and clear.
All the subways are on time.
I yawn and stretch. I am here.

Strain my eyes round as I peer
Into the bathroom mirror.
With my palm I wipe a smear.
Step into the warm shower.
Luxuriate in water. I am here.

Quickly I dress, get into gear.
A roll, a cup of coffee.
A new day. Nothing to fear.
The morning air is pleasant. Cool.
My stride is sure. I am here.

The time will come, I’ll disappear.
No trace of me will remain.
Perhaps far away. Perhaps near.
But today, I delight in life.
I breathe deeply. I am here.
