Wisdom a lost treasure of the past
Smartness the new trickery of the present
Leaving the future so blind and unknown
...

And the distance between,
Kept their bodies apart
But not their hearts
Wondering,
...

Sad eyes wink in the dark,
Frozen hair masking his face
The lines of grey,
Around his chin to the temples,
...

Always loved the color grey
A composition of black and white
Clearly illustrating humanity
A blur of evil and good
...

...

...

Above, the clouds moved
A ghost shadow below
Closing in so quick, death
Swallowing souls as it swept
...

Long chains cutting deep,
In both my wrists and ankles
I watch my flesh decay,
Falling off, feeding my only friend,
...

In a room so dark,
And the chains so heavy,
but yet a smile so big
One smells freedom
...

I see it's depth
An abyss of darkness
Drowning in my shadow
As thoughts chew on my consciousness
...

The bruises of yesterday,
Still bleeding on this morning,
How we got here?
I don't know.
...

The good are flawed
And the bad,
are just
...

...

So I stayed awake,
last night,
Couldn't sleep
Kept thinking
...

I lay on the ground,
Watching the blue sky,
As clouds swim gently,
Varying shapes spontaneously
...

Yesterday I believed not in love
And today I float freely in its realm

It is a world of hearts,
...

Fear is what we know not
A future expected to rain hails
When no roof covers your head
And blankets not warm enough
...
