Life

Yesterday is gone
Yesterday is dead
Today is here weeping 
Weeping at her sisters departure

Today is growing and going 
To be buried as yesterday
Time and time
Say we tarry not

Tomorrow is an unborn orphan
Everyday is a still born 
The future shall come to now
And every now shall become then

So shall every living man 
Who treads 
The orbit of life
Sink and pass away
Such is life.

Don'T Ever Leave

Your real smile I don't want to loose 
Like those things we used to say and do
I still want to experience 
Don't ever leave me.

Temptation might employ your mind
For nature's sake protect me 
You are the close bud of my happiness
Don't ever say goodbye.

You made me know what love is 
I never knew it will be so real 
Now that I am involved
Don't ever leave me.

Mother

A mother is such a treasure
And she gives great pleasure
At home it is a great delight
Her radiance a bright light.

Burden difficult to bear
But how to me she is so dear 
How she fuses that I should eat 
She declares I look mean and tired.

Without a response 
Advice she sponsors
On how to bear life's many worries 
Though impossible seems her stories 
I have them all true 
To me, mother is such a great treasure
She brings with her great pleasure.

You Are Loved

It wasnt planned,  it feels odd.
Old forgotten feelings warming up.
Barriers setting in.
Distance is just one,.
You gat a wall, i have to scale to you.
The feeling is weird, but it's perfect. 
I'm ready to take it one step at a time.
And walk with you, all the way. 
No matter how bumpy. 
You are loved.

Circle of Confusion

In the lowest of it all
One rises
Shining like that lone star
Brighter than all other stars
It rays glistening. 
Bright light peeping 
through the shells and 
walls of the heart
peeling and melting dark shades
Lighting paths that
lights have not in ages seen 
Bringing glints of happiness 
and wide smiles 
Healing and mending  little pores, 
Shedding brightness inside the dome.
Making two as one. 

Cleaning up messes. 
Making whole.
reviving dead plants.
making flowers bloom 
Oh the beauty it is to behold
Radiating in all its glory
What a relive from pains,
hurts and sadness harboured 

Oh what joy
What peace
The search comes to a standstil
Triumphant has love become 

And then
The clouds formed
The blue sky turned black
The beauty faded
Flowers died and lost their bloom
Leaves dried and trees withered
How so soon darkness over came the light
The search for light began again
Darkness no longer a comfortable companion 

Either way it goes
Far away at the end of certain tunnels
Glimmer ray's of hope
Just maybe, 
This Light has come to stay.

Spooky Sisters

The clarion call, are coming down the stairs.
Holding specters and beholding stares 
to the spooky sisters, 
They are the only heirs

The spooky sisters of the square tables
In showing love the aren't able
With dice and cards they gamble
Beware of them is no fable

To behold what graceful image they carry
Even in their deepest rage 
Elegance and pride is their only carriage
No matter the time, year or age

Brining an end to the spooky tales
They demand fate and praise
They deserve glory 
whatever they've done 
They are never sorry.
