Fading

For some it is inevitable
the colors gradually fade
Until the days seem eternally dusk
the skies forever grey

Waking in the morning
that old desire just ain't there 
what used to inspire 
along the way you lost somewhere

Youth seemed so invincible 
but getting old has a way
of making one feel vulnerable
knowing time is having the final say

Boom Town

An abandon old town, from where life once thrived,
 now sets alone forsaken and desolate in the late evening sun.
 Empty shadows dance across the ground gripping the old town
 with an eerie reality of lost hope and futile dreams.
 Old building sags in the moonlight.
 Homesteads stretch out across the endless barren land. 
Empty like the promise of a new life.
 A cool breeze drifts aimlessly through open doors,
 and broken windows, scattering into time pieces of the past.

The Garden

This garden grows in rows
The old soil is parched and hard
Stripped of nourishment
By time
Headstones in a graveyard
 
This garden grows in rows
Sprung from seeds of despair
Grown from consequence
By design
Gate broken beyond repair
 
This garden grows in rows
Watered by slow gray tears
Tended with old love
By thine
A long black coach draws near 
 
This garden grows in rows
The flowers mingle with the weeds 
Silence all surrounding
By mine
No one visits, cries or pleads
