YOU WERE

~ Che ~ Leave a comment 
You were
A different world
A different time
A different song
That did not rhyme

You were
A passing thought
A passing glance
A passing shot
Without a chance.

YOUR FLOWER

~ Che ~ Leave a comment 
Run down your Friends List
Run up your memory quest
Run through your heart first
You will find the same flower
In your happiest and saddest hour
And that flower is your power.

I WISH YOU WELL

~ Che ~ Leave a comment 
Though you hurt me
I wish you well
I pray that true love
Lift you where you fell
I pray that God’s Light
Illuminates your heart
I pray that good things
Line up your travel chart
And may it be well with you
In everything that you do.

BROKEN RHYME

~ Che ~ Leave a comment 
When trust breaks
The universe shakes

The heart aches
And aches and aches
And aches…

Because the poem has lost what it takes
To ever rhyme again.

BONDS

~ Che ~ Leave a comment 
We belong to God,
Not to one another.
Possessiveness is flawed,
No one owns the other.

THE DOGS OF WAR AGAIN

~ Che ~ Leave a comment 
The fogs of war
Clouding and blinding -
The cogs of war
Tripping up and grinding -
The bogs of war
Weighing down and binding -
The blogs of war
Lying, agitating, not minding -
The dogs of war
Stuck in the past, rewinding.

HEALING

~ Che ~ Leave a comment 
Thinking of tomorrow
Of when you‘ll be gone
Your name is Sorrow
And your work is almost done.

HEARTPEACE

~ Che ~ Leave a comment 
She wanted to go with peace in her heart
And I decided to give her that peace -
Let there be peace in you when you part;
If there’s a heaven, it is of it an inner piece
And it is the only way to make a new start.
