RIP Clinton Duch
Clinton Daniel Stuart Duch
August 17, 1982 - March 20, 2006
When you shut your eyes and fell asleep, dark clouds descended on the souls of the ones who held you close to their hearts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The beauty of an embrace.
A place to lay down the pain.
Where blood and fire bring rest and peace.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think of you and my heart breaks open.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a time of quietness I reflect on childhood memories.
On the last day of our friendship, and those words were the last, what were your thoughts?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As a dreaming child I awaken to a nightmare.
After a gentle nudge I find out you're gone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You slipped on away into the ground.
You broke the vanity.
You brought the silence.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You're the words that come out easy - and I am speechless at best.
You're the star it seams to shine above the rest.
You're the face before the cameras - the smile I'd like to earn.
The closet thing to perfect in a hollywood to burn.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You're the beauty that is deeper - than eyes can merely see.
You're the dream that hasn't ended - and I'm still anxious for the rest.
You're the words that seam to hang above my head.
You're the bud before the flower unfulrs into full bloom.
Captivating beauty, but it may be all too soon.
You're the song that writes a story - but leaves a lot to read.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The closest thing to perfect - but the farthest thing from me...
