Life In Verse

Broken circles, jagged edges smiles that fade in the dead of night Easygoing, songs and laughter flashing eyes put the weak to flight Smoke and mirrors, all deception when will the dawn break new and bright? Heart unspoken, heart gone numb now cold and dim, just a flick’ring light. Bony elbows, laughs melts ice caps tongue and cheek just to pick a fight Heart beats faster, tears or laughter lost in my sadness and delight. Tangled anger, threads unfurling stumbling, falling, a sorry sight Deep breaths, rhythm, blot eyes softly keep a cool face with all my might Toss for hours, I get nowhere call them my friends and hope I’m right.
