Wow, long time no poetry

Sorry guys, real life gets in the way occasionally :P

Because
Because a tear cannot hold
The weight of all its pain,
It slips from underneath its home,
to journey with the rain.
Because a tear cannot tell
or think to express desire,
It motions with all its grief
to drown within the mire.
Because a tear can say so much
without actually telling all,
The tear it slips from beneath the lid
to take the pain in fall.

Denial
I sit in denial.
The desecration of peace,
swept under covers
and coated with sweets.
Sounds of the chaos
are covered with song,
The peal of the war hammers
in chorus along
with the screams of the masses
all perfect in pitch,
the final concerto
lies in a ditch.

Silent Surrender
Because the moon no longer speaks to me,
my terror grown once again.
Without my light in the darkness,
I can no longer defend
the faded morals that I once held,
A betrayal like none before,
my moon closed his eyes to me
and speaks no longer more.
Without his voice to calm my fears
and quell the impending fights,
a quiver rises once again
from horrors of the night.
Because my moon no longer speaks to me,
and my efforts are in vain,
I curse the moon, lie down my sword
and surrender to the pain.
