gone

slowly

losing it

the will

the want

gone?

never there

a dream?

delusions

of self

self-lacking

self-less

mindless

following

without direction

stumbling in

orderly

mindless

self-less

directionless

gone.

seasons

Fall

colours dot the skies

colours carpet the earth

fall

beauty plays a deadly game with gravity

royalty falls

gold is trampled underfoot

life fades through beauty

beauty that is soon hidden by inevitable

which is beauty in itself

Late Summer

summer

months too late

heat during the cold

glee replaces depression

smiling faces everywhere

living rooms empty

backyards full

summer in fall

spring in summer

Joy fills the heart of the most cynical

eyes bright

people are open

beauty fills the air

summer in fall

lost

lost

the mind stumbles

wondering

am i here?

why

the mind is lost

this was once my home

now

it's not right

i am lost

seas

of tranquility awash with

doubts and wonderings

beguiled

lies tumble around

my soul is lost in a mire

Lost

Confused

Wrong

Missing

Joy

the mind is the mind

and we can do nothing

lost

in our own minds

forever

love

this was a poem that I had written for Easter, but never posted. Enjoy.

life and death come together

joy and despair are hand in hand

love and hate dance as lovers

everything has a pair

every pair has a strong half

death ends life

despair ends joy

hate ends love

but life has no end,

death no sting

through despair joy grows

stronger than before

love destroys hate

it breaks down all barriers set before it

love shines through the cloud of despair

love laughs at death's feeble attempts

love can blind us

love can heal us

love is all

love is nothing

without a cause

Easter answers all
