Wondering

Wondering

I’ve lost my footing along the way

I no longer hold my head up high

Would anyone wonder why?

Whether at work or at play

No longer able to throw cares away

Ever wondering why

This has to be the way

Life is lived in brief spans

Mine seem to be mainly tired

Longing for holding of hands

Filled with a burning desire

But eminently lacking in plans

Ending in a gulf of fire

More Perfect Union

I can never be the better person

Remember that, love

When you are in your cups

In your grey hair

Hating me

As men grow to hate their wives

Time can’t stand

Something to last

Longer than it

Heaven forbade it

This more perfect union

A joining of souls

Better left asunder

No Words

Someday never comes

Tomorrow waits for none

If you can hear me, answer

Cause my darkness screams in the night

My throat is raw, I’ve screamed so much

My tears burn fire down my cheeks

This is the hardest thing I’ve ever ended

My terror frightens me

I have no words

Anguish is a lesson in patience

Sorrow is a tale written in woe

There is no longer a hiding place

Time is all that’s left

An Ember Burns Higher Then Flames Prodded Higher

A spark lights the way

It glows like a fay

It burns higher and faster

Leading quickly to disaster

You must prove who is the master

Or else you will pay

So as the fire you lay

Remember that they they say

As the fire blows past her

An ember burns longer then flames prodded higher

Keep this mindful, don’t delay

Whatever else you say

It must be held fast or

It spells true disaster

Because it’s true what they say

An ember burns longer then flames prodded higher
