Knowledge

Sleep beside me forever
Claim your portion and peace
Let fears drift into the aether
Pain and sorrow shall cease
Tomorrow is light years away
Consequences fail to show
By my side you'll stay
There is nothing else to know

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

Questions

Questions

If I forgot your name…

       Would  the wind whisper it back to me?

       Would the stars light it in the skies?

       Would the seas spill your secrets?

If my heart forgot to beat…

       Would you breathe my breath for me?

       Would you cradle me in your arms?

       Would you share your life in my veins?

If the world were to end tomorrow…

       Would air still move through the land?

       Would fire still burn?

       Would our tears quench the parched earth?

#untitled poem

Closing in, almost a win

Tomorrow seems so far away

A long night, a bitter fight

Keeping creeping nightmares at bay

The sun appears and as the end nears

The fear is gone and dying

Time is telling, Joy is welling

There can be no denying

Suits You

Deepest and Darkest, the most intense hue

Calls to mind violence, death and sorrow

Strange as it seems, it always suits you

But never was I, one troubles to borrow

Let’s save all the pondering stuff for tomorrow

Concentrate only on the needs of the day

Party and play while the time bleeds away

You only have reason to question your life

If you don’t like where the possibilities lay

You have no one to blame for your strife

Priorities

When with friends we smile and say

Forget the work and cease the day

We need love to guide the way

So call in sick or stay away

Before, with stress, you fade away

So with friends we smile and stay

Tomorrow’s work will go away

If you doubt it, then look away

You need a love to guide your way

Can you question what I say,

That priorities have gone to hay?

When with friends we smile say,

We no longer need love to guide the way!

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

Reaching Toward The Stars

Time is short

Let’s seize what we can

Some people’s tomorrow never come

It’s enough to live now

Have what we may

When the starlight reaches us

It may already be gone

It lives on through our memories

Infinity and divinity

Touches our small souls

Brief glimpses on the immortal

We beg and borrow

Never knowing where it will be snatched

If you wait

Tomorrow’s dream may disappear

Bring them love

Let them grow

Hand reaching toward the stars

Rain Will Fall Again

Soon tomorrow’s coming

Can today last forever?

I know that the sun must rise

How many times must I?

I’ve fallen so many times

Many times I’ve been pushed

They rejoice in seeing

My face in the mud

I won’t let them see the tears

Mixed with the dirt

If you cry in the rain

It hides the tears well

I’ve stopped walking in the sun

When the sun rises

You will be gone

I will go back to hiding my face

Then the rain will fall again

Forever Witness Eternity

If we die here together

Lie here together

Will this world pass away?

Tomorrow’s courses

Fade into yesterday’s pleasures

All these fleeting joys

Bring lasting sorrows.

Forever is but only a flash

If you aren’t there to witness it.

Eternity stretches infinitely

If my side is empty of you.

What bond can we form

That will stave off

The ravages of time?

The answer is there

If you care to observe it.

Escape

Sorrow lines your eyes

Would anything help?

If you needed me,

I would be there in an instant

Tomorrow is miles away

If you would let it be

We could be worlds away by then

A hut by the sea sounds nice

I can hear the birds chirping already

The whisper of the waves is so calming

A lullaby to rock us to sleep

Cradling together as we await the dawn

Safe Harbor

If tomorrow is all we have

Let us be content with today

When troubles light this world

And sadness is the safest bet

We all hold hands in sorrow

Our grief brings us together

We no longer strive for the future

We long to reach the middle

A safe shore, a harbor in a storm

A port until the way is clear

Tomorrow is miles away

Rest until 

The end of day

Poetry- 3 Poems- Flowers, Would You?, Tomorrow, Yesterday, and Today

Flowers

Although I’d love for you to bring me flowers

I’d rather talk of books and music

And walk along the beach holding hands

And watch the sun sink in the water

There’s time enough for flowers when we’re older

Would You?

Would you love me if I called you darling?

If we never met at all?

If our eyes laid waste to time and space

And universes stilled in our presence?

Would our lives be the same

If time stood still at this very moment

And our paths never crossed?

What if we could go back

And start fresh with no “I love you”s?

Would the sun fall from the sky?

Would we cease to be?

Tomorrow Yesterday and Today

Tomorrow does not exist for those who love

Yesterday has no meaning

Only Now and Forever

When you love with your whole heart

Your hearts beat together

Your breaths come as one

Your minds are in accord

There is nothing else

But the one you love
