I Will Be Your Angel This Evening

I Will Be Your Angel This Evening

 

Hello Mommy!

My name is Paco,

and I will be your angel this evening.

When you are sad,

I will kiss your ears

and lick away your tears.

When you are down,

I will nose your hand back on my head

as if to say you are not alone here.

When you are happy,

I will fly without wings for the joy of being with you.

The tick-tick-tack of my feet on the floor,

The whip-whip-whap of my tail greeting you at the door,

Memorie’s music to sing in your heart forevermore.

The Rainbow Bridge hasn’t taken me to another place

It just leads to my little pillow in your heart.

I will always be there,

Always snuggled with you

Hello Mommy!

I am your Paco

and I will be your angel this evening.

Across the oceans

Across the oceans

The call went

Through the clouds

A voice came

 

One bridge made

Rainbow hued

Traveler

Seeking one

 

Meeting one

In disguise

La Bella

Sans Merci

 

Who protects

Love, turning

Overtures

Away, cruel

 

Love can be

When pain wrapped

Beloved

Insulates

  

Lay Past, Begin Anew

Lay Past, Begin Anew

 

Let me lay my head

And wet your knee

With tears withheld

Long past agony.

 

A deep fear that

Patterns repeat

And deny trust

So true once more.

 

A second-chance wish

Became reality unexpected

And caught between past and present

A child’s heart beats in pain.

 

Lost and without control

The child hides where

Never again those too dear

Can be allowed so near.

 

Let the child lay

Head upon your knee

And cry her tears

And release her agony.

 

The child past cannot be changed

The present offers only comfort

The future promises healing

If she could believe in trust once more.

 

To change the pattern

That seemed to offer

Safe haven, calm seas

Her heart she must risk.

 

The woman for years lived

On the fringe of love

Awaiting the ending

Even in the beginning.

 

Safety in what was known-

That all can be lost,

Taken away, removed-

She never reckoned the cost.

 

The woman lays her head

Upon your knee,

Crying tears of rue

And bittersweet agony.

 

The pain is hers

And gave birth her shame-

That in evading pain,

To pain she led herself and others.

 

She blames not the child-

The child only ran from pain;

She blames the woman

Too blind to see the time of healing.

 

Let her lay with head on your knee;

Let her cry her catharsis;

Let her find that trust is worth

The pain of loss, the heart of one so true.

Liars and Other Dreamers

Liars and Other Dreamers

Tell good stories

Fictions we want to believe

Especially at the end of the day

 

At the end of the day

The dark of the moon

Cannot be held at bay

We need the tales

Weaving a blanket

Against the lonely cold

 

Lovers and other dreamers

Feed our souls

Stories we need to hear

At the end of the day

 

At the end of the day

When the fires are built high

Flames reach to touch

Flesh insulated

By banal blanket

Leaving the cold outside

 

Lovers and Liars

Dreamers all

Illusions to keep

Good company

My Fortune’s Been Told

My fortune’s been told;

Tomorrow is today.

My dreams were sold

To finance another’s way.

Deathwatch- do you hear?

Past the last crossroad

My days did steer

Into nights ala mode.

Deathwatch- do you see?

My heart was squandered,

Given away too free

as my eye wandered.

Deathwatch- do you know?

My future to behold;

Today is tomorrow

Only the past held gold.
