Soft flowing water
Falls prey to winters icy kiss.
Forgotten love, lifeless and cold,
Is seen from behind a frosty barricade,
The soul the unknowing victim.
Twisted by time and a half written rhyme,
We all seek a peaceful reprise.
Your eyes hold the key
That welcome me into your
Exquisite being
Unsure at first, I allow
Myself to be taken whole
Chasing a dream,
Her hands on the reins,
Melting pink melancholy the backdrop to hope,
Liquid yellow and orange sunshine warm the heart,
Seeking the truth, the answer, to love, lost and imagined
The dream, and love, both out of reach as fog clouds each
Piece of the past, the puzzle incomplete, broken,
Wishing it was easy, forever lending herself to time.
The eyes of the dying man closed,
Moist with memories, he struuggles to see,
Blind and held captive by the past,
He stumbles through the years
Silently asking for nothing but more time, a second chance
To reclaim what has been misplaced by the ghosts of time.
Darkness envelopes him, a small light in the distance calls out,
Peace.
Looking through my eyes
Progress slowly fades away.
Eroding senses
Means no change, time wasted, as
The breath of ignorance rules.
What happens when you
Ignore the obvious? you
Lose sight of what is
Truly needed, hurting those
Who you are supposed to help
I look in the mirror on the last day,
Wondering what awaits me tomorrow.
Another year has past, another year older,
Another year of loss, another year bolder,
Why do we wait, for each year to end,
Why do we wait, to be on the mend.
So I look in the mirror on the first day,
Wondering what awaits me tomorrow.
Today we have the
Chance to reset ourselves, to
Start again, but why
Do we have to wait for a
New Year? Live life every day
And so it’s here, the night of nights,
Our friends are so festive and hope knows no heights.
But as the clock strikes twelve, tick tock is the tune,
After a long night of revelry you’ll probably sleep until noon.
But when you wake up and your head feels like lead,
Just give it a rest and go back to bed.
But sooner or later the day has to start,
The routine is clear, you know it by heart.
So what did you learn, with your head kind of hazy,
That drinking too much is just too damn crazy?
So the new year has started and you have much to resolve,
People to see and problems to solve.
So take the day slow you have a whole year ahead,
To shake off the cobwebs and get out of bed!
Waiting for the end,
When hope is still alive and
Our future seems so
Bright, Another year is done,
Renewal is the answer
