Jeffrey Barnes Poems

For tears in my eyes not yet cried
For those unspoken words
For those spoken words that are not yet lies
For actions and words that promote demise
...

...if my tears spoke words...
...your name cried aloud...
...bled forth from thy soul...
...once thy severed rib...
...

...as i gaze HER from up high i shed a tear from but one eye...
...then as the small ones frolic and play, i think about that day and yearn for the day...
...

Couches consume hoards of drones In there dying rooms In square 'homes'
Television sucks them in
Lost souls dreaming of what could have been
And yes I still dream while awake
...

...and so when i die please don't shed a tear...
...please place the temple in the soil clean...
...allow the shell to be reclaimed with ease...
...then so the soul may slip free evermore...
...

New love as i recall
High in the sky evermore naught to fall
Exists not dams
Exists not armor
...

All pain is preserved in wounds unclosed
shall wounds heal with memories
indisposed
...
