For Tomorrow May Never Come...

Life is like a circle, 
An uncomprehended term
A moment of light followed by;
A shadow of darkness.

Life is nature's gift,
A thing to be cherished, as long as you hold 
So live life to its fullest while at its midst
What ever time you have now is yours, 
For Tomorrow you may never know.

Life is a treasure for those who know it,
For some its a pain but to others; its whole
For those like me whose days are done,
Can only hope,
For tommorow may never come.

Hearts broken, tears of pain
A whisper of love that lingers in my heart
A pain so unbearable, an unliftable curse 
I know i cannot love you and commit my self, 
For You must move on with this journey called life.

My time here is done, 
What i ask for, is what cannot become.
My life i've lived for giving, helping others was my ideal.
Now that i've done what i came for,
It is my time to move on,
This maybe my one last moment to hold,
To me there is no tomorrow.

Who Are You?

Walking by me with such grace
Words fail me to express my craze.
Your eyes hold such mystery in them
Lifting me off my senses.

I cannot stop myself 
From inclining in your direction,
Your eyes they put me in a trance.
A face so full of light and warmth
A beauty like i've never seen before.

Talking to you is like trying to walk on hot coals
I can never give in.
Your the only apple of my eye
Making my heart skip a beat.

Your beauty is unparallel
Like none i've ever seen.
It lingers to haunt me,
Even in my dreams.

Your smile holds a mystery 
To be uncovered,
Everytime i try, 
It conceals further.

What is it that keeps you from me?
Is it that you dont like or despise me.
All i want is to stare at you,
That is what is food for my soul.

Your existing and personality 
Is such a conspiracy to me
The more i dwell in it,
The further i get carried away

Who are you? 
Is what i want to know.

A Girl's Fantasies

Set neatly on her dressing table
Are make-ups and lip sticks.
All sorts of nail polish,
And glittering jewelry
Now lie upon
Her once untidy desktop.
No more Dolls and Tea sets,
And no more "wearing Mommy's clothes".
No more tea parties and Barbie houses
That used to emphasize her childish games.
Thus i find her room
Filled with posters of pop stars and boys,
with various magazines and books,
Cosmetics and perfumes.
She is not the little girl she once was,
For now she has grown.

A Prisoner's Tale

With everyday i wake
The darkness around me advances,
Swallowing me in its pool of misery
To never liven up again.

With every breath i take
I realise that i'm more alone,
Neglected and rejected for a weakness
That i am not to be blamed.

With every step i take,I feel like a puppet. 
Driven around by invisble strings,
That halts my freedom
To the length of string 
To whom it may concern.

With every tear i shed in pain
My wrath and agony aggravate.
Slashed and whipped through day and night
A sufferer i remain.

With every dawn that comes
My hopes of a future will prevail,
Though a prisoner I am and will remain
My hopes will forever lighten my path.

Forever

Forever; is what you told me when we met,
Forever; you told me that you'll be with me,
Forever; you told me our love will be
Forever is what you saw in me.

But is it just a word with cause
Or one without meaning?
Is it one with great depth and sacrifice
Or just an assumption?

Forever; i know where my heart will lie
Forever; My love will be with you, where
ever u go,
Forever, i'll await your return with an open heart,
Forever; i'll wait till the day we both 
shall be one.

Where ever you are and where ever i am,
One thing i know is that we'll both be,
Bound by our hearts in our love, forever

Rose Red

In the deepest hour of day
Your bloosming aura awakes,
From darkest red within
Blooms an enchanting crimson.
A drop of dew sparkles bright,
Giving a-glow your darkness.
A speck of lust
In a heart of dark,
Where all the
Rest shall whither.
A beauty you are,
A prim rose red,
Upon whose vine 
One shall not tread.
For in your thorns,
Shall mercy not pledge,
Even the sweetest,
Rose of Red.

Ghost

Every night I walk my grave,
Thinking thoughts that weren't ever made.
Lost in the darkness
My soul shall lie,
For I have not yet said goodbye.
Ever so certain that day would come;
When laughter, joy and happiness comes
My heart was broken in anger and pain,
For I no longer live in vain.
My broken dream shall mend no more,
For in pain and agony that I shall go.
My bones lay crumbled as dust and ash,
My memories no longer live with them.
My days are over and i'm gone,
And I shall only dream to be born...

Memories

Sitting there in utter emptiness,
I stare ahead in amazement,
At the remnants of a place,
Filled with memories of a glorious past.
And as i stand there all alone,
Past Memories flood into me,
Stepping back on the stones of time,
Back to a time when life was wild and free.

There as i stand amidst it all,
I see my old class come back alive.
So many familiar faces, 
Smiling back at me,
And shouting cries of welcome. 
I see all my old friends,
Some going about their daily business while others gossip.
And there among them i see myself as i used to be,
Laughing and joking around so carefree,
Knowing not what the future holds.

Standing there engulfed in my past
Seeing so many happy faces, 
Of those whom i held dear to my heart,
I shed tear in pain, which trickles down my face and falls on to my palm.
Realization flows back to me once more,
The pain of it all embracing me,
Like a Venomous Sting,
That penetrates my veins,
Darkening the depths of my heart 
Where my memories lay, 
Locked up for evermore.
