How my heart yearns for the days of yore
Before life’s heartbreak slipt through the door
And left behind an unholy mess
That I deal with now without redress
I have learned to accept God’s decree
In its unbending finality !
THE FINAL DAY ( 2018 ) 2018/06/13
This heart of mine it hungers so
Too much to say before we go
The words don’t come so easy now
Caught in the throat, sometimes somehow.
A simple act of nature’s need
Bids all who dare, take care indeed
The changes come and fall away
Too soon we’ll meet that fInal day !
ASHES ( 2016 ) 2016/09/19
Now as for me when I am dead
My ashes will wind up instead
Upon the surface of the sea
Tis such a briny place to be
There float away to foreign lands
And rest at last on distant sands !
JOURNEY ( 2016 ) 2016/06/17
Now this has been a journey long
From birth to death, one’s telltale song
As we have been upon life’s road
Each burdened by our heavy load.
It matters not what we have thought
There in this net all have been caught
And so it is that we shall be
A cog in God’s eternity !
DESTINY ( 2016 ) 2016/05/06
Of all the words we’ve left unsaid
Both true and wise before we’re dead
Too few are worth their final breath
Aft all is done we still greet death !
RETRIBUTION ( 2015 ) 2015/11/22
All deeds once hid deep in the dark
Will come to light under the sun
While God sees all and strikes His mark
And patient waits till all has done !
EXPENDABLE ( 2015 ) 2015/10/30
The sands of time consume my feet
In gritty piles silent, discreet
The speed of light is on its way
Its hours burn both night and day.
There is no vigil I must keep
It matters nought how long I sleep
For time does know its boundaries
It comes and goes and perhaps flees.
The winds all blow in divers ways
Tis soon the last of all my days !
JUDGEMENT TIME ( 2015 ) 2015/06/16
The winds of war rage at the gate
And tell us now our time is late
We’ll know no peace until it’s done
For we have reached our kingdom come !
FOGGY VISION ( 2014 ) 2014/08/08
The raindrops trickle down the pane
To leave a wet and foggy stain
Upon the windows of my room
That sometimes seem so full of gloom !
I glance around this world we know
And tremble as the terrors grow
What shall we do when we awake
How can we halt the coming quake ?
It’s sad that we have failed our friends
There’s no way left to make amends
And through the windows of my mind
There’s no solution I can find !
ONE LAST CHOICE ( 2013 ) 2013/11/26
Could we but know what life may hold
Would we perform in manner bold
Or take the path of lesser ways
To weaken failures of our days ?
I’m never sure what I should choose
There’s much at stake to win or lose
Somehow I’d like to think that I
Might opt to give love one last try !
