I BECOME RAIN...

night surrounds
I fall alone
the sound of myself
chills to the bone
a bleeding
upon the panes
as from above
I become
rain

I spill
drops of indigo
as I descend
on forlorn pillow
I puddle in sleep
for myself pray
as from above
I become
rain

my downpour soft
in hold of dusk
a quiet weeping
for all i've lost
not of tempest
I fall in restraint
as from above
I become
rain

THE PUNCTUATION

in all words written
in all words said
until punctuation
an end is left.
was I her nothing?
questions a fear,
as fragile tomorrows
fall in despair.
alone in the earth
or alone in a kiss
both are the same
to those never missed.
found is the breath
remembered are scars
but lost is the beat
of a forgotten heart-
and of the flowers
that too soon fade
each dies a promise
once quietly made-
with punctuation
I touch her last word
it whispers of nothing
so I leave it unheard
