And the Swallow a welcome site for sure

For the Swallow hails warming weather

Sometimes life shuts you down
Scatters all your dreams & makes you bound...

I am in the Doctors Waiting Room
Waiting for my name to appear on the screen
I’ve been here for twenty minutes
Oh how much longer before I am seen

It’s embarrassing enough for me
Without the whole waiting room...

While I stood, on the edge of a cliff,
Ready to take the plunge
Down to where Earth meets its end
Down to where lies the land of Hades
I suddenly heard a howling sound
Behind my back!
Diverted from my...

Once upon a time on a table lay an innocent little book;
Do not open it, a label warned, not even to take a look.
You want to know, don’t you, why so many have come back,
To...

Here we are, at the edge of the universe.  
Let us praise that we are alive. 
  
Through the maze of this mausoleum, 
Pass the gaze of the singular coliseum; I’m amazed that...

You seek me, You find me
You know when I sit, when I stand
You know my inner thoughts, my inner feelings

You know my inner sorrows, inner sadness
You know my inner struggles, inner conflicts
You know when I...

Spiraling, twisting, churning, the hurricane it comes…
Defeated and desperate, to its catastrophic magnitude, she hopelessly succumbs.
With a twist and a tilt of her head, it swallows her into its depth.
Fruitless and powerless, in its clutches,...

The world is a scary place, Muse,
Among the millions of beings, who,
Are supposedly like me,
There is none whom I can genuinely trust!

None whom I can open my soul's garden to
None whom I can show the...

It was a clear, beautiful evening
The sun still ablaze, a tad too brilliant,
Playing out its last moments, 
The sky, a ruddy glow of luminescence!	

I was stationed on a park bench
Lazily watching the stir and commotion

I decide to take the plunge, internet dating is all the rage
My loneliness grows, I decide it’s time I try to engage 
I join several dating sites, cynical of what I may find
Hoping it’s someone...

Trapped in a sinuous labyrinth,
I run down twisting corridors of well-trodden soil,
flanked on each side 
by bushes twice my height!
I go left; I go right;
turning left again, I hit a wall.
For hours I have been...

I messed around and fell in love, ya'll.  I know what you're thinking too. 
How could someone like me ever fall in love?  I'm just as surprised.  I had 
plenty of friends who fell for...

Floating, dreaming, waves lapping, slapping playfully on the rocks
Turning over swimming gently, diving under water, sighting a delicate box
Holding breath, diving deep, pushing with all my might
desperate to reach the box, not could not reach...

( JUST A LITTLE LONGER )

Desolation,
Wide open space,
Between the trees and me,
Emptiness and me,
Confusion and decisions,
Feelings hard to define,
And I say to myself,
Just a little longer, 

Coldness seeps
Its way in,
I am falling deeper,
Into what I...

The Cannabis Queen
Rides her Snow Chariot
A glass shard still remains in his heart
And his heart still remains ice.
This is his true state of existence.

He worships the Queen,
Because now, all is pure,
White and still.

Time

Her then gone, how time does fly,
Those times which you want to last.
Today soon, is yesterday,
What’s here now, is forever past.

Memories are hidden in thoughts,
Mere images of what took place.
We now look ahead for what’s...

But I decided to take the plunge, and  join anyway,
A passionate bookworm me, fond of reading and writing
Prepared to leap in an ocean of knowledge!

First few days were exciting, joyful, but...

I gotta whole lot of emptiness,
a vacuum full of void
With no more heart problems around,
I’m not beset
by any sadness or regret
To tell you the truth,
I’ve got plenty of nothing left
There’s only an empty chest
of bittersweet...
