A Few of My Short Poems Put Together
Silently she slips
into another dream
she drifts through an illusion
that cloaks her memories in an eclipse
a shadow of her life
a reminder of the grief and strife
she's met by promises that cant come true
they lie on her soul like the morning dew
in the shattered mirror she lies
as broken as the memories she despised
in her dreams she painfully cries
desperately wanting to break free of the guise
Is this all one big dream
wanting to see through blind eyes
is a certain madness taking hold
or am i simply being far too bold?
Can i do it once again
bring myself to what ive been
slave away in the past
and forget the future that cannot last?
What thought she demurred
A dream that's deterred
Twice it sank
Twice it burned
And left with life undiscerned
can you know what you leave behind
when you move onto another road
to not see what others will find
a used up empty load
crying in the background
how the tides have changed
and as surely as the sun rises
the waves shall recede
a salty shore battered and broken
outcries in the dawn
of empowering need
left unspoken
