Short Prolongs Poems

begin with spirit
flirtation with the ego
return to our soul
the dream in between prolongs
hypnotised by illusions

As twilight prolongs,
The moon ushers in the night,
Its rays so tender on skins,
As wave rises high,
Sea breeze pats our backs gently,
As lovers renew their vows .

Sad but true
I miss you
Abruptly
Most surely

Why did you go?
My heart hurts
Arterial stabs
Pain redecorated

Darkness floods
Wet eyes weary
Painful melancholia
Grief prolongs

Everytime I see your face
I drift away
Falling ever deeper
In my dreaming phase

Finding out about your 
Beauty reminds me of our 
Very first kiss 
And its tender power

As the night prolongs
Turning into dawn
My dream about you 
Continues on...

I start to sweat
And a tickle in my throat
Causes me to convulse
I hold it in, hoping
To avoid the attack
But I fail fully
And I cough,
My heart landing on the table
Before my eager eyes
It prolongs its pulse,
Hopping off the counter,
Into your hands...

Somehow the sun leers from beneath the earth
Today the same as yesterday
Nightmares haunt the moments since
Broken and bruised
your image trickles through my mind
On some occasions
bright and vivid
held within my hand
childhood spent
adolescence lent
to times of wasted hours
A broken vase
of forgotten times mended
with so much care
but your no longer there
And time with twisted twain
just prolongs the pain...

Someone broke your heart, you say,
And now you want to hide away.

Hiding doesn't solve a thing,
It only prolongs suffering.

Admit your pain but don't despair.
Surround yourself with friends who care.

Time will mend your broken heart,
And soon you'll be ready for a fresh start.

The pain and sorrow will fade away,
And you'll live to love another day.

Naked in the dark, love dying all alone.
A young boy left to die so I can’t really 
call this my home.

Young nurses lose their lives and the 
country turns a blind eye.
A clap, a cheer, a thanks for you and 
your colleagues having to die.

Naked in the dark, blind to what is 
there.
A country run on hate, deceit, lies 
and despair.

The government built on lies prolongs 
the agony we must bear. The UK chooses 
to die and the country doesn’t care....

First we blamed the bully, for being hateful and unkind
Then we blamed the shooter, because there's something wrong with his mind
Then we blamed the parents, they raised him to be this way
Then we blamed the video games, violence is a price we'll have to pay
Blaming with a blind eye, it only prolongs
It's time to place the blame exactly where it belongs
Living, breathing people who say, 'there's nothing we can do'
If you don't believe in change, the blame is placed on you...
