Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Destiny's Pain - Collaboration With Brenda Chiri

Drifting away in sadness, clouded in regret
 A smile slowly fades;
 Like a long forgotten sunset
 in twilight's masquerade

 Where none seems familiar
 As my regret does overtake
 Wish memories wouldn't incur
 Yet they keep me wide awake

 Memories in the night when the stars do gleam
 May bring the joy of which your heart does dream
 Will sunrise dispel all those haunting fears
 Or will the morning dew be the sum of all your tears

For me memories and destiny are one and the same
 I stopped dreaming long ago, no not a shame
 Taught me pain doesn't disappear in daylight
 Pain, 24/7, never ending struggle, never ending fight

Destiny shouldn't be measured in sadness and in tears
 Happiness is a dream everyone can share
