Some Scraps of Poems

From now on I need to steel myself from the darkness,
My hard choices need to come swiftly now
One follow another in rapid succession
Time has come to rise to the action and make bold statements
Not always the popular decisions to bear the burdens
A life of single blessedness is a cursed choice
What is necessary is right in God's eye and mine

Staring through crisscrossed eyelashes

Looking for courage in diminutive frames

Time will come soon enough

When light explodes through shattered seconds

Experience the feeling of fractured repose

Broken Glass

Shattered reflections

In broken glass

Just can’t bear to see

What is real, what is false?

Face lined with pain

Sorrow and heartache

Borrowing trouble

Or the smiling visage

Presenting to the world

Carefree and Nar-do-well

The truth is in the middle somewhere

But could true medium exist

When joy and sorrow war?

Perhaps Viviane meant the sword

To destroy this world of seeming

Feint copies, automatons

Merely wound up, marching along

The Other Path...

Blue so deep it bends toward infinity

Purple so dark it ceases to be

Edge of light creeps towards the horizon

Tomorrow comes with certainty

Crickets begin their nightly chorus

A decide chill fills the air

With rising hopes but shattered spirit

Quiet night fills the solemn forest

Tread wisely here, take your time

It’s a hazardous path you choose

The benefits outweigh the cost

You’re time has come to shine
