Lies Consume

One lie to cover the anger
Another to hide the tears
Just a simple lie to make things better
One upon one... Year upon year

Nearly half a century of these
No way to make them truths 
Life at times gets hard to breath
How much longer must...
Lies be the truth?

Searching, hoping, waiting 
For that one day life will set free
The tangle of webs suffocating me.

I don't love you.
I don't want you in my life.
I'm sorry I ever chose these things.
I'm not happy behind this smile.
The laugh is a mask.
Beautiful in the reflection...
Doesn't change the image within.
It's all a game society demands 
A charade to be a certain way....
Well... It's simply a rehearsed routine.

Living years 'til death is kind enough
To find me in my sleep.
To take away the years of this
Without hurting souls dear to me.
For, even a death must be a lie.
Entwined in a sad goodbye.
When reality says it's 
The best thing in life,
The one thing they lived for, 
Prepared for.... 
Lies consume life ....
Lies consume breath. 
....
By the lies breath will one day
Flow freely...
Then cease.
Bringing peace. 
Consuming no more.

You Wandered In

You wandered into my life today
not in the usual normal way...

The story of the mingles of our lives,
they have begun playing life
a story being told... friendship of old...
reminiscing of times gone by.

The echos of voice, laughter and advice
brings the random smile to a face
that appreciates each moment
each memory that has faded on by...

Yet like a dream the soul searches
to hear those words in clarity,
Hear the music that's shared
so beautifully...
In a flash...
hands stacked on a mountain climb,
tadpole eggs...
final farewell... "Cats in the Cradle"
A trip across a country that engraved,
__More that words can say__.
Backyard fun with friends and family...
......
Paper and pen, keyboard and screen
Just don't offer understanding
when a person/family
Steps into your mind to visit...
Memories are a Gift
The only gift greater was creating them.
