Eternal Cross

Time's  a necessary burden
We struggle under its weight
Arguing proper pacing
Dealt a cruel hand by Fate
Missing each other by inches
Heads keep turning away
Seeing each other in passing
Knowing today's not the day
The world stays on pause now
Until the proper day wakes
Bearing the cross of Eternity
Is more than two people can take

Vows

Vows

We all need love

We live by Honor

We strive to obey

But we struggle to obey

We fail because we love

It stains our honor

How can we understand honor?

When we only try to obey?

The struggle comes from trying to love

Because with Love, we choose to honor and obey

Meaning

Meaning

A certain amount of matter

And a little bit of mass

Have found themselves together

Just to process carbon gas

A transformation ever changing

But to the world, a different view

It passes in an instant

Unfettered and unskewed

The scars will heal so quickly

As is they had never been

The struggle to be heard

Above the maddening din

Hourglass

Tired of playing ifs or ands
Watching the glass run out of sand
Time is foremost on my mind
Pages turn and years unwind
Tomorrow is gone, no more is the light
Anguish unbarring, the struggle, the fight
Decisions will come, time will seem brief
Taken away by the words of a thief

Struggle

Struggle

She walks on haughty airs that give us pause

Flesh and bone run though us all

And base desire is a worthy cause

For pride goeth before the fall

The time has come to gather up flowers

And watch for stars are falling

Comets have come to grander towers

The results can be appalling

The ocean cannot meet the sky

Though forever they are striving

For one must surely fall and die

While the other is uprising

Eternal Struggle

Eternal Struggle

Eternal struggle

Between beloved and friend

Who wins out in the end?

Should there be a winner?

Why is it a contest?

Can we love equally?

When friend becomes beloved

There is the perfect solution

Since that only happens

In fairy tales and books

We must always expect

To be second place

And if we are moved higher

We should be gracious

As the Light Gently Creeps...

Light stretches across the corridor

It creeps gently towards my still body

I wait as it bridges the gap

Between time and nothingness

A warm feeling of peaceful seeps

Into my drowsy limbs

Laying languidly after loving

Sleep is minutes away

I struggle to keep my eyes open

Blinking, nodding, I can only watch

As the light gently creeps

Engulfing the two of us

I need to stop time here, now

Three magic words,

The spell is cast
