Winter came too early
Deep in my heart today.
The autumn's chill gave way
To frost in just a day.
...
I'm at the edge of the ledge,
Somehow you never know.
My grievance in the balance,
Will you pull when I fall?
...
Our roads diverged not so long ago.
I recall that time I first laid eyes on you;
The promise of a better company,
To walk on this travel in one same way.
...
So here I find myself
At the edge of sanity.
My limp, tortured soul
Is stripped of all vanity.
...
-
Wine glasses clinking, toasts abound,
People dancing, laughter all around.
Music blaring, the big room loud,
...
I see a flower so rare;
Of delicate beauty, I swear.
It hids amidst the tall grass,
Down the hill as I pass.
...
City lights burn bright in the dark of night;
Footsteps echo the chilly wind.
I have walked the dead end of this road;
I am lonely and cold.
...
Fly, you dull beauty;
Dance around the fire.
Burn, you bright beauty;
Entice the moth closer.
...
A Dirge To Purge..
Here lies the lies we utter
In hearts' warm sepulcher.
...
Trust yourself to trust someone;
Trust someone to trust you.
And even when trust is doubted,
Even when it is broken,
...
How I fought to shout
At these whispers I dread!
O that they may come out
From this wretched head!
...
Come... Enter my secret garden;
Where the soft sun never sets,
And the trees are evergreen,
And the naughty moon peeps in the clouds,
...
Colors dancing in the eyes;
Give beauty to shapes and forms.
Cold, warm, coarse and fine;
Bring beauty to the feel and touch.
...
Nothing I possess
Can last forever.
Nothing except nothing.
Everything I own,
...
Dandelions... Soft as baby's breath;
Stay young and true underneath.
Dandelions... Let go, let go;
Let the wind carry you so.
...
Dearest child...
To look through your eyes;
Wonderingly curious.
To smile like you smile;
...
Listen up, all. Meet my best friend.
He tags along with me everywhere.
He feels how I feel, thinks how I think.
He knows my secrets yet keeps them.
...
Winter Came Too Early
Winter came too early
Deep in my heart today.
The autumn's chill gave way
To frost in just a day.
It numbed the mind to think
How joy went away in a blink.
And the promise of rebirth
Got smashed by its own dearth.
Alone I came, alone I went
Along the way until it bent.
No more pausing and looking back,
I must trudge on this surly track.
Winter came much too early
Deep down in my heart today.
