Truths

 Truths 

You've seen the naked truth of me

Haunting my days and nights

When the rain keeps me awake

Your arms encircle my waist

Our souls bears burdens together

When you leave to meet the dawn

My heart gently breaks

The world seems big and scary

I can only withstand the pain

Knowing you will be with be soon

The time slows to a standstill

As I await your presence

To reveal me once again

Ditto

"I want to follow where you go"
Trail you through the dawn
All I can do is wait and trust
Even when I fall, I will rise
Perhaps this time, I will listen
The words are whispered and I intend to hear
No offer too obscure, This will leave my heart undeterred
A simple phrase repeating, "My soul is full"
Now it seems noises, hearts, dreams, and even time has stilled...
"Ditto"

Dawn

Cresting on the horizon
The beautiful orange, red and gold
The world breaks into view
Light imbues all it touches
Waking the world, making it feel bold

Brighter now and harsher
The light remove the dark dank spaces
There is no place to hide
The wide and luminous blaze
Has cleared the shadows from faces

Last night

Ever vigilant she waits
The dawn drawing nearer
He brushes her hair off her shoulders
Slowy kisses begin
Up the side of her neck
Following the rise of the sun
As it clears the horizon
The bell tolls
A knock beckons
The headsman comes

Burn ' s Night

The snow lay crisp as angel's hair.
As dawn awoke the world lay cold and bare
Was ever there a sight so rare?
What light! The sun! The glow!
Take flight and watch the path with care,
Or sit and watch the show!

Robert Burn is a celebrated Scottish poet. His poem are generally written in 6 line stanzas in an aaabab rhyme scheme, with the a lines written in tetrameter and the b lines in diameter. This was my little contribution today. I picked snow since the East Coast of the United States in currently Under Snowpoxalyse 2015.

The End of TIme

The End of Time

So hold me till I break

I’m made of sterner stuff

The universe will crumble first

Before it gets to rough

You have the best of hearts, love

When intentions mean it all

But watch your step when walking

Pride goeth before the fall

Children often don’t think

And taunt before they listen

But you and I will laugh till dawn

As they feed their own ambition

What matters at the end of time?

Who waits when daylight breaks?

The moon will only laugh at them

Who really knows the price, the stakes?

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
