Lewis Dever

In days of youth, so carefree and bright,
I danced through joy, bathed in sunlight.
Games and laughter, a melody in rhyme,
A world of happiness, an innocent time.
...

The world went silent the day you left,
A hush fell over all, as if time itself had wept.
The air grew thick with unshed tears,
And the earth beneath my feet trembled with fears.
...

Golden arches, bright and true,
Fifty years of something new,
From morning's light to evening's close,
McDonald's shines wherever it goes.
...

Some months ago, without a clue,
A stranger came, out of the blue.
No invitation, no advance call,
He entered swiftly, towering tall.
...

Once, she was shadows and silver,
a wisp of night cloaked in black,
pierced by moonlight and metal gleams—
a constellation of studs, rings, and chains
...

Time, a river that flows so swift,
Carries moments like leaves adrift.
You chase the dawn, then miss the night,
A soul grows weary, losing its light.
...

In the hollow of the night, where shadows softly creep,
I walk alone on paths we carved, in memories I keep.
Your laughter lingers, ghost-like, in the corners of my mind,
But when I turn to find you there, it's only wind I find.
...

In the hush before dawn breaks,
When dreams still softly hum,
And the world lies in slumber's grasp,
To the beat of a quiet drum,
...

In the quiet moments when the world is still,
I close my eyes and see you, my heart's own thrill.
Though miles may stretch between your world and mine,
Our bond remains, unbroken, through space and time.
