with weariness
you turn to the
coming tempest
your face etched
with enduring, your shoulders
tense with accepting
I watch you
ready yourself for the
menacing pain
and I weep
I cannot stop
the baying winds that
threaten, the
shrieking fury
that nears, my impotence
total, complete
but I will not
run; if you must meet
this unbending
tomorrow,
you will not welcome it
alone

Stolen
Stolen...dreams
Altered...realities
People...begging for release!
But it seems that no matter,
Where they turn,
They can never find their peace
It's stolen away,
Driving them to their knees!
(Stolen...dreams)
What are we doing?
What are we saying?
And where are we going to?
You say "Why does this matter?"
"Our dreams are shattered"
And hold out empty hands,
As your proof
What is stolen from one of us,
Is stolen from all of us,
And those empty hands...
Are the proof
Stolen...lives
Eyes opened...in surprise!
Meaning...hidden in disguise!
And it seems that no matter,
How much we beg and plead,
We see it blown away,

I Miss You
Black umbrellas in their hands
Side by side in black they stand
Tears hit the ground as one
Tears for the one now gone
And they cast the casket down
Down deep; far into the ground
To be covered by tears and dust
Whilst life seems so unjust
And they break down at the graveside
Just so they can say goodbye
But the epitaph at your head
Says you are nothing but dead
And as the people walk on by
With fresh tears streaming from their eyes
The clouds open up above
To cry their tears for fallen love
The pastor proclaims a prayer
Causes sadness in those sat there
They think of good, but long gone, times
As they leave your grave behi

EverBlaze: Cold
EverBlaze: Cold
The wind is cold,
And the rain comes down
There is nothing I can hear,
Only silence is to be found
I strain to hear my heartbeat,
But even it has drowned
There is not...
That much left of me
All these wounds upon me,
Anyone passing by can see
There is not...
That much left to feel
I'm caught in a world of shadows,
And I can't tell what's real
The ground is hard,
Beneath my spine
I know I have to get up,
Cause I am running out of time
But it seems so peaceful here,
I think I shall just die
There is not...
That much left of me
All these wounds upon me,
Anyone passing by can see
There is not...

Such a beautiful, heartfelt, heart-wrenching poem. Your word choices are very powerful: tempest, enduring, menacing, shrieking fury, unbending.
You show the agony of the situation, and also the fortitude with which it is faced. What a supportive tribute to your friend.
