Darkness engulfs

I see the light
now bright as day
it falls to earth
squanders away

Wilt in the sand
seeds of dismay
just add water
flourish away

Darkness instills
seeping all through
all hope now lost
look back and rue

Colours to pass
just out of sight
stuck in our bliss
we lose the fight

Expectations

For I’m sorry
that I cannot be
those little things
You expect of me

So watch to see
what it is I embark
will it then engulf
pull me into the dark


Then step away
further from fear
be willing to let go
in order to draw near

Look beyond it all
to trust that I know
believe what is true
my spirit will flow

This strange existence

How strange a life
you seem to be
far from the shadows
engulfed by this tree

The pretence of sorrow
swallowed by pride
free from this existence
taking it all in stride

Promise to always hope
past the blindness
and then see through
to all the greatness

No matter the boulder
remember to believe
my spirit will soar
without reprieve

Song & dance

View life as a dance
a mere thoughtless sway
so hum to that beat
mindlessly press play

Read between the lines
to find that key note
hold on to it tight
then discard the quote

Conform to chorus
and stifle that voice
a melody void
for there is no choice

Tap to the music
the song in your head
let your heart rejoice
compliance now fled

Believe

I made that promise
which lasts to today
to give up the fight
the endless foray

Those days were longer
as sirens drew near
the flame extinguished
engulfed in fear

Then rise up again
a phoenix in ash
come closer to see
brightness in a flash

Stand tall once more
and look to the light
once again believe
with all of your might

Ode to humanity

An ode to humanity

we dream of the day

say farewell to brutality

but believe in dismay

The fields now silent

no burning in the sky

visions of the violent

let it all but fry

Watch as they soar

now effortlessly alive

dream some more

see it all derive

Let it flood in

the warmth and grace

allow that win

a peace you can trace

He

It was he who returned my life to me

He who made me view fate more positively

He who returned my faith in love back to me

and eventually

He who broke my heart again unknowingly
