As I type this I wonder why
My fingers are in pain and my back aches
I drive off the light

Staring into the dark
The pixels in my screen burn quietly
Imprinting their stories upon my eyes

Glancing away I see the cars pass
Slipping across the horizon
Sunset long gone

The crickets chirping
The silence inside conflicting
With their symphony of sound

I ponder upon the week
All it doth contain
Pain, elation, guilt, fear

The feeling pour out
Like sand in a broken hourglass
Ticking away precious time

Life slipping away as I am.
Failing to live as I die.
Out of time

Walking blindly
Reaching for support
Never grasping

Hearts floats gently away
Carried off by autumn breeze
Like leaves in the sky

My love has left me
Cast off for distant shore
Leaving me once more

Farewell, I cried
As you climbed up
Waiting for the end

Now you’re gone
Departed
With my inspiration.

Butterflies floating gently on autumn leaves
Sunlight streams through darkened sky
Life, once blooming fades
Cast into the lie

I hear the sweet words calling
Lost among the waves
Once we were kings
Now we’re only slaves

Autumn was our love
Now she is our death
From our waking reason
To our final breath

The breath we breath is silent
Heard amongst the ill
We’ve lost the bet, the triumph
Even lost our will

She was our faithful queen
Now cheated we’ve forgot
The life we used to have
The words decay and rot

The night grows ever darker
Our shadows lost in gloom
Amongst the angry spirits
That seal to us our doom

Our final words were never spoken
For our hearts, forever broken.

Fading into the vacant space of time I falter
Falling into the sunlit valley I wake
Tossing and turning in the night
Dreaming endlessly of naught

Fearing that final breath I run
Casting off my pride
Swimming through that awful stench
Wading across that tide

Waiting for you I wonder
Pondering that thought
Thinking about promises
Promising nothing more

Running I falter
Faltering I fall
Displacing replaced submissions
Submitting to darkness

Sleeping I lie awake
Staring in the night
Searching ever
For that thought.

Night
I see you there
Falling into the mist

The clouds blur our connections
Tears fall gently
As footsteps grow distant

Farewell my love
My dear friend
My laughter in sorrowed times

Fare thee well
In far off lands
Luck to all your deeds

I shall stay to reminisce
To tell them of the tale
To mourn

Away with thee
Go
Leave

I meant stay
Please
Just this once

Find the time to be here
By my side
Waiting

Wishing for something better
Striving to change
To enlighten

I wonder
Can you?
Alas, no

That time has passed
Wasted on unwilling minds
Cast to unwanted ages

Left out in the desolation
Unwanted
Forgotten by all

How can you stay?
After those words
What words?

All’s well
I shall see you again.
Laughter

I see your face

Questions asked in recollection of reminiscence
Thinking about wondering about you
The simplistic complex emotions
Pouring slowly from restless fingers

Striking here and there I feel
Telling the world in silence
Writing in stone
That which is lost

Time is our enemy
Flowing briskly around us
Tossing us here and there
Making fun of our dreams

Our wishes lie in ashes
Buried deep
In the soot of our transgressions
Smoldering quietly

Look to the stars
Archaic voices silenced by distance
Smileing peacefully in a wicked world
Ancient cynics of long past

Oceans lie in waste
Waiting for life
Laughing and choking
Struggling for breath

It hurts
Staring at the world blindly
Turning a deaf ear
Becoming numb to the sickness

Immune to the sights
Begging to be heard
Ignoring the sounds
Begging to be seen

Why?
Why must they fight so?
Is it inspiration?
Or just a base instinct?

What is to be gained
From pursuing an impossible endeavor
For chasing a restless dream
For finding a hidden fault?

Nothing
One might declare
Illogical hunting for reason
Logic sought in feeling

Feelings felt by all
Striking endlessly on a broken keyboard.

Sigh
I exhale
As the memories wash over me
Her hair, her laugh, her smile

I wonder if it was all
A dream
A wish
Nothing more

She was there
In my arms
Embracing my very soul
Yet so far away it hurt

I felt so alienated
Yet never more accepted
Never again
No once more

Confusion
I feel her heart beat softly
As we dance around the room
Her soft lips shattering my dream

Pieces fall sharply
Upon moonlit shadows
Each carrying off my sanity
My resolve

She lingers there
Buried in my heart
Finding a place of her own
Searching

I wonder
I really do
I ponder on why
On how

I remember us laughing
To a sing-along blog
Genius
I say

I weep inside gently
For love lost
I feel his pain
Reaching out to me

I feel distanced
Away from the world
Yet so close
To this heart

This heart of ours beats soundly
To one dismal chord
The voice of one man crying
Allowed to bear no more

I wonder as I listen
As soft, sweet kisses break
My heart

My father once told me
Life goes on

Even if it hurts
Life goes on

I used to wonder how
Life goes on

Even when it seems lost
Life goes on

When the stars are falling
Life goes on

When he leaves
Life goes on

When she fades away
Life goes on

I don’t know why
Life goes on

As civilizations pass away
Life goes on

While people move along
Life goes on

When my heart breaks
Life goes on

When they fall
Life goes on

I wonder how
Life goes on

When such things occur
Life goes on

It does though
Life goes on

You can’t stop it when
Life goes on

Even when I die
Life goes on.

A city in the sky
As clouds pass by
Tears meet eyes
All in an ecstasy of love

Time stands still
Upon the hill
And reaches to the stars
All in a dance of days

Feet fall on fallen trees
As we rest upon our knees
Praying for the rain, to come
All in a moment’s glance

Lights shine softly in the rain
The rain in Spain upon the plain
The plain we came to see
All in good time.

Thoughts provoked

As fingers hit the keys

Thinking of

Her, him, them

Us

All of us

Falling through the cracks

The fractures in time

Space

Life

All caught in the endless spiral

Music pounding our ears

As waves crash into the sky

Sapphire sunset and autumn dawn

Leading our upward glance

Fool us

Captivated by hope we fail

We see the sun rise

Believe we will follow

Yet never do

The ascent of eternal light

Paths barred meticulously

Not by thorns or fire

Blocked by us

Us?

Yes

We are the guardians

Falling to our end

Helpless to save the descendants

These are our woes

Thoughts and ponderings

Provoked

By keystroke.

I hear
The sounds of nature all around me

I hear
The wind pass softly by the sky

I hear
The stars whisper sweet nothings

I hear
The moon answer shyly

I hear
The leaves blown gently

I hear
Your footsteps falling in the light

I hear
The storm pick up

I hear
The clouds singing

I hear
The rain calling me in

Inside the broken home

I hear
The solemn darkness

I hear
The time pass slowly by

I hear
The footsteps grow quieter

Until they are
No more.
