Windows of Time
Crawling through the windows of time
Cobwebs stretching over part of our mind
Wisdom struggles to emerge like A gray cocoon
Slowly it brightens like the light of the moon
What wavering forces makes the night
Sending our thoughts to the morning light
Obeying the sign as the half finished plan
Promises hopes and dreams to your fellow man
Through A maze of troubles and trials
Peace slowly eases A false sense of style
Until much later through the windows of time
Cobwebs take over the best of our mind
To erase our life and let us be free
From the troubles of life and who we used to be.............
Written by Artie Beason 4/20/2007
I woke up screaming once more of another once more. I had the dream again, bringing
back memories, and feelings of distress, grief, and unremitting pain. It's storming again,
loud bolts of light rolling on and on in a continuous pattern like life, and death; age, and
time. Age is an illusion, something time chewed up and spat out like a piece of gum on
the evolutionary highway. Time is irrelevant, it only tells what it wants, until life runs out
yesterday, only to give birth to the idea of "new" life today, and to die tomorrow.
Puzzles when they are games is fun.
Puzzles in life can make you feel dumb.
Putting together life's little clues
Still searching for the letter so not to lose.
Even the geniuses in the world
Get stumped from time to time.
Is life the hardest puzzle of all?
At times it can make one hit a wall.
Or on the flip side it could be fun
if you look at like a marathon run.
Build up some steam and be brave
Use your brain don't be afraid.
Life is always a mystery
But at times you just really need
Some sort of miracle to calm
your heart.
Some sort of sign so you don't need
to dart.
every which way, here and there.
Racking your brain for some sort of repair.
So, Mr Puzzle please lay low.
Give some time to choose the right road.
Too much at once is hard to comprehend
A small good one is how you win!
As life has a way of letting us know,
There are two destinations of which way to go.
Should we follow our hearts and dreams?
Or let them flow away like a beautiful stream?
Who is really in control of here and now?
Your feelings are strongly beginning to prowl.
Professing your pleasurable inner cravings,
May not satisfy your wishful tastings.
To remain silent may be the ultimate shame.
Dare one say?.. Or should one dowse the flame?
With no intentions of destroying any life.
Oh, how struggles intrude to the extent of strife.
Perhaps share your mind and love will soon follow.
Allow the knowledge so we may indulge and wallow.
Will they be willing with their arms wide open?
Or will they remain in the life they have chosen?
The decision must find a way to be tranquil,
For both deserve happiness and bliss of ample.
All in due time will we commence that walk.
While minutes go by...tick tock...tick tock...
Tick tick tick
Tainted not sick
Brick by brick
Look with your eyes
See for what will hide
As time ticks by
Clock strikes 1
Just want to have fun
Better run
A fatal sigh
As time ticks by
Seconds minutes and the hour
For time holds all power
Fate cannot be faced
So feel how lies inside time are laced
Hate love life and death are embraced
It’s the life we wish to copy and paste
The love that is to sweet to taste
Hate is to bear
And death is for some to fear
Where the secret does enlye
Time ticks by
Will it be the end
Or is it a gift after that time will send
For some it will not mend
Every drip of life will be drained
Sympathetic drips from the sky will rain
Life will die
As time ticks by
The clock hands lock
Ticks slowly stop
Tick tick tick
Drip drip drip
Times up that’s it
It’s Time
By BJ Welsh
The sun shines brightly each morn’
Life goes on although the heart is torn
Only you wished for rain instead
Exposure to light is what you’ve dread
Breathing in life that you’ve been given
Spitting it back out to those who are livin’
It’s time, you think, to worry no more
There’s only always silence at the door
The shades don’t work as you think they should
Sun rays seeping through as only mother nature could
What more could you do to keep things dark?
Close your eyes, go ahead, you’ve left your mark
It’s time, you think, to worry no more
There’s surely silence at the door
The mind works in mysterious ways
Your paralyzed and in a daze
The things you lost have never been yours
Borrowed for a while, so take a pause
It’s time to repay that long ago debt
Promises made and you thought kept
You followed a map uncharted at best
A life re-invented and put through the test
It’s time, you thought, to worry no more
But there’s no more silence at the door
Chance
By BJ Welsh
With life and living we take our chance
Nodding in agreement to a furtive glance
Waking up each day is a chance we take
That life will deliver us for Heaven’s sake
We awake each sunrise with a hope reborn
Chance seeing an other suffer and torn
It’s one other’s life you see at a glance
Hoping for approval, it’s but a chance
The life you witness as others pass
The pain inside may subside, alas
Hoping to see one as you
The chance you take to find two
Running out of time the clock is ticking
Chance there are others whose lives aren’t clicking
Great as that may be, the chance you’re all alone rises
Furtive glances from beneath disguises
Chance that hiding the pain and hurt won’t last
The agony you feel will not be fast
Chance you soon become discovered
In your waking hours its’ uncovered
You’ve lived a life of hurt and pain
The chance you’ve taken may have been in vain
days turn nights all over again
the time we wake up is a life begin again
pursuing dreams; fulfilling greed
torturing our mind
coz all we are in here just borrowing time
lonely nights and broken dreams inside
faded faith and memories divide
we cried; we bleed from underneath
we laugh and love from deep within
coz all we are in here just borrowing time
no matter how strong you are
it's always fragile inside
no matter how fast you'd run
you're always one step's behind
days turn nights all over again
the time we wake up is a life begin again
pursuing dreams; fulfilling greed
torturing our mind
coz all we are in here just borrowing time
MY LIFE
Deep in my heart I always feel
My Life is too complex to reveal
Like the ocean deep it goes
Like the air it always flows
Trying to find the truest vision
I always fell back with different reason
None to see , None to hear my only plea,
As the day ends with lonely tea
God surely knows my life's future face
For the moment its feeling ablaze
Trapped inside natures bugged roof
I am destined to toil MY LIFE aloof.
------YASHU
Quiet is the ocean and then erupts a hurricane
So much devestation and people crying out in pain
Serene are the drops of rain that turn into a storm
A journey through the cold snow with no place to keep warm
A day will come when all shall pass and souls will be at rest
A desert storm of sweeping sands it seems that life is just a test
Deliverance will come at last just follow the brightest light
And on earth the storm will end and life begins a new flight
Simple, simple, why make life so hard.
We travel a road looking for something.
Keep dealing and dealing for that card.
Gesturing complaints putting up a guard,
Misguiding a life, while living a lie,
I live a simple life within my mind.
My heart is full, emotions rolled inside.
I have no desire for riches that bind.
Just give the needs, allow desires I find.
Then life is complete, until I die.
Silence, spoken as a breath
Take the life therein
Hope yet found through mountain pass
See a life begin
To the eyes that long lay cold
Such a rising sun
Waiting leads a humble life
A journey has begun
Theres a momment when you realize your not a little girl anymore.
Mommy and daddy arn't there to run too.
You have to make your own choices.
Your finely free.
You get to do what you want.
No one setting rules for you...
Your life is perfect...
Right?
This momment is the one you've been waiting for...
But now that its here...
Your eyes are getting teary...
Already longing for the "good old days"
The good old days where...
Mommy would sing you to sleep...
Daddy would rock you in his lap when you where scared...
You knew you where safe...
You didn't have to worrie about being judge...
You knew when you got home there was someone to love you...
That was the good old days...
Now its time...
Time to go...
Go out on your own...
Alone...
Its time...
To go out and start a life of your own...
All grown up...
You're not a little girl anymore...
It's time...
You're ready...
To start a life of your own...
Little girl...
Farewell...
a young man should not be this tired, young eyes should never witness the life that i have
viewed, i have sacrificed so much only to gain so minimal. Good things come to those with
faith, i'm always thinking of a master plan, my father was absent in life so i became my own
man. my dear sweet mother tried the best that she could, some illnesses are just to great,
my courage is my emotional weapon that prevails. i am truly my brothers keeper, we are a
family of two, my promise to him is to stay loyal so that he can be sane. Emergency
surroundings can change ones perspective, i'm immune to pain, my nightmares are
equivalent to my dreams; how can i be strong in a world of weak? A private mind is a
congested way of life, so many tears have escaped my eyes from thinking about the lies,
love has got to be one of the reasons I've ruined many lives. My new character is humble at
the expense of many, resurrection is at its peak only the strongest survive. Time waits for
no man and its certainly not on my side.
Many nights simply just going away
With without I’m to be taken along
Forever no more belongs a tomorrow’s yesterday
A memory if to anyone, I did belong?
Writing for a reason becomes but reasons no more
Did I write for myself or for another to feel?
My age stands a time with so much life to endure
Yet one isn’t to ignore when it comes for life to deal
How many more nights is there left?
If with you, is this the many nights to see?
Were there many nights for gods to theft
When in myself I see a devil lies me
If you were there… are you?
Only to be there you can only belong within
Times and moments to each if only we knew
Perhaps this be reasons why there are dreams
With many nights simply fading away
A time if only whence to feel belong
Simply for tomorrow is simply never a yesterday
And perhaps… always I’m taken along
