Some
greet the
morning light-
others cry at
night-
some 
look in
a mirror-
see an unloved
child-
will
hope stay
all alone
in Pandora's
box.

Two Halves

As two halves make a whole
I feel a friendship about to unroll
You see the darkest parts of my soul
In which I have no control

As I with you I must admit
without even knowing it

Between us there is a bond
One we must not despond

For the words we write
Put us in quite a fright
For that we will fight
For the happiness to come to sight

Despond,despair then decline,
Whilst wiser one recall:
Days are numbered for us all.

Inching ,ever unregarded,
The relentless timebelt turns;
Days are numbered for us all.

Reminiscing days of old,
Stories of yesteryear unfold;
Days are numbered for us all.

Here and there a fall,a stall,
Ever onward is the call;
Days are numbered for us all.

Premium Member My Glass To Grace

Should we lament our days in the sun
       No longer to fare but linger in shadow
Remembering glow of supple bloom
      That shone on early days refined

Do I despond with rightful view
       When seeing those of budding course
As I once raised my glass to grace
       Pursuing lavish dreams of youth 

Why then with this sweet account
     Do I still grieve with greed for more
Ready not for eyes that close
      Holding fast to remnants keep
