Of Life & Death 3-28

Folder: 
2007

Never quite looking the way I want

A nervous past will continually haunt

Abandoned forever by these I love

Fluttering off by wing of a dove

Lost, falling, hurting

Off, down and bruning

Fire consuming, but where to lead

Direction we must take heed

Fires engross, become your all

Fires destroy, leading the fall

Warmth consumes us, all that we are

Until these hearts eternally far

No longer beating synchronized

By our separate desires hypnotized

Will we endure this wintry haze

Awaking at once from this threatening daze

What then lies before mine eyes

Besides your tangled web of lies?

A ghostly mystery of a past long gone

Shattering as dark at break of dawn

Though the sun now wraps the sky

A piece of hope will forever die

For in this lonesome heart of mine

A shadowed sun is left to shine

Never seeing full light of day

Clouding my vision with slightest dismay

Rain may fall down, heart of mine

I question is it so with thine

Beating and breaking into thousand pieces

Comes the day when all this ceases

Rainbows, unicorns and leprechauns arise

Symbolizing the moment no one cries

Death is merely an illusion

Shrowded by depth of confusion

Questions often buried alive

Nothing left for which to strive

Eternally forgotten in ground of clay

One in a million asked to stay

A moment in time shapes the future

Illusion in mind set to stir

Living eternal on ways of the past

These moments you leave me will forever last

Impressions on this heart you leave

Just for one moment must we grieve

Streaming tears fall from mine eye

Marking the day we forever die

Author's Notes/Comments: 

It's interesting because I began this poem written in my agenda beginning back in September of this year and would randomly add a few lines every few months depending on the change of the situation at hand. I love the different illusions it became.
