Loose End

Jan 2, 2018

Hanging on a loose end rope is utterly in vain
You feel like you have a hope
 but in the end is only pain


My Rainbow

At the end of my rainbow,
I see a vacant space
That makes me realise 
The colours were illusion
And dreams were in vain.

Ticking Away

A clock ticks away all its life
Unknown to the world outside
Does it like its refrain?
Our does it think it's all in vain?

twilight is falling
on the river of Desire
I’m dreaming in vain…
young love never comes to me
by a silent lonely lane

I have no roof to shelter under
When the sky begins to rain
For an umbrella through the thunder
I will always hope in vain.

A Summer Couplet

The thunder, lightning and the pouring rain
Are signs I bought my summer clothes in vain.

Oh glamorous thief
You have stolen all my dreams
And hidden them each
In your obsidian keep
Where I search for them in vain.

therefore he has no answers

All questions for man

At the river's edge
                            so as to scare the ugly cold

An ugly song about beautiful people he did pitch
The effort not in vain because he got rich

She is like the wind. She is like the rain. She is like the process, that begins over again and ends in vain.

How Are You

The dreaded question
Stains your every peace and bone
For you fear the love's
Gone, how long will you remain
Just to see was it in vain

roaring overhead in droves
dive to ear in waves
scream whining hisses so loud

The stars outshine a pale moonbeam
We try in vain to touch our dream
We live each day
To hope and pray
We shall end it all with ice cream!

Since the day I was born,

Is the day my mother won.

A mother who gives birth is born again,

Because she is a mother she lives in vain.

King George

There once was a Greek so to Speak
A weird kind of dominate freak!
He yaps and complains
Then argues in vain  
Til Boring's his middle name!

Vain Glory

In vain,
The entire body had taut veins,
For vain glory,
Brought immense pressures,
To cut them down to size,
One looked for a good thresher.
