The Army

It takes from you
what it wants, it needs
it fills you with
motivation
that mends the wounds
it surrounds you
with the same illness
to make you believe
you belong

You form to it
like a dress
long adjusted
to your size
it tickles you
if you cry
it comforts
if you seek
it arouses as you please

But at no time
do you choose
not to follow

Invisible Rose

You could only see it
as a reflection
nothing more
it's vibrant colors
and fragile vase
full of secrets

It is comforting
to the touch
and pleasing
to the eye

But who am I
to say
It was ever
really there?

It's a night
like no other
and dreams cast
shadows
like a story
behind closed doors
so many voices
an army
an army of many
thoughts, choice
loves, losses
I cry for you
for anyone
willing to listen
to a moment
a moment of darkness
here in the folds
of life.
