Daniel Sims

My final farewell is written in verse,
I'll soon be in that dark, sombre hearse,
The life within me drained as a bath,
I'm heading north, on my final path.
...

Taking life and love for granted,
It's simply wrong and greatly slanted,
For there is beauty all around,
Look carefully and you'll see what you've found.
...

It's strange to think that one moment you're young,
And the next you're wrinkled, your song unsung.
Precious moments fly by at a blink,
And realising the life you've wasted, you just sink.
...

Sometimes I dream even just for a day,
That perhaps we belong as a couple not one,
But then I remember what I mean to you,
A mere friend and a mortal but never your one,
...

the futility but resilience of it all,
is enough to disgust or even appall.
bodies of innocence lie here and there,
life continues, without a shadow of care.
...

roses are red and violets are blue,
the old cliche of the valentines day blues,
but this poem's different and so are you,
hence it's written from me unto you
...

Descending down the winding roads,
To join the growing population below,
Where neither snow melts or thaws,
Ot the flowing salt rivers freeze,
...

Young love is a thing of high debate,
At the age of so young, can fate
Bring two together to form just one,
Or can that illusion be simply undone.
...

A year ago to this very day,
I was lost in fact I dare say,
There was no light at the
end of my tunnel. Just darkness.
...

After the crackle of whip has ceased,
Under the thumb of violence,
My soul will have been released,
Devoted to a life of nonviolence.
...

Simple conversations beware,
For they are not as they seem,
As calm conversations have,
Underlined anger and fury,
...

</>love can be defined in many a way,
but this one failed, and i'm made to pay,
not by losing dignity, pride, or life,
but by losing you, in this strife.
...

they say whatever doesn't kill you,
only makes you stronger,
now you know, it isn't true,
your heart hurts, and all for her.
...

I kneel in silence with my head bent,
With my lips sealed, almost spent,
My hands press together, arched,
Hungry, tired, and parched.
...

An epiphany of reason and life,
To possibly end this bitter, old strife,
My mind's been a blur of utter confusion,
But this is the first step to ending the delusion.
...

As a kid you think the world is yours,
From the moment you crawl on all fours,
To the moment your parents stand tall,
Crying happily at your transition to man.
...

life can be compared to a tree,
you start off with the aim to grow,
paths sprouting at each opportunity,
each path ending in a beautiful outcome.
...

up here in the clouds in the sky,
birds scout for their next prey,
trees sway in the morning breeze,
and i stir next to you in our bed.
...

Walking now and forever more,
Don’t stop for hurt or sore,
Keep going and reach the end
Of the road without a friend.
...

Once upon a time in a land far from here,
You found a girl whom you pulled near,
She however pushed and fought,
Leaving you broken and distraught.
...
