A Poet's Realisation

"Take off the mask", She cried. Drop the facade. Let the curtain fall. Life is a tree, The leaves will fall and it will wither. Pull out the roots, they run deep. The scars will heal. A fallen comrade. A relative lost. Does it bring sorrow? What will it cost To be where it matters not? What is a throbbing heart Without it's blood? Nothing but a sobbing soul, Devoid of sadness. The path is obscure, the judgement clouded. There is a need to hasten, To move with the speed of light. Run away from dawn, Into eternal night. Nothing can be true or false. Only one thing remains And it will fade away. "Take off the mask", she cried.

WORDS WRIT ON WATER

I looked at the photograph, Tears, unknown, flowed through my heart. I thought I had moved on But the past followed me from the start. Those were such happy times, Carefree, not a worry, as it should be. There are no regrets, But I doubt if what I was, was me. Would we be friends now If I had spoken to you every day? Would I have fallen in love If I had told him that I felt that way? So much has changed, And all the memories have drifted apart. Nobody can hear me from here. I want to change the way we part. The hourglass beside me, Shows the sands slipping by. There is nothing I can do, To stop the time that is passing by. One last, desperate breath. I picture my wish for the last time. “Would you cry over my grave?” “Yes. I will.” whisper the sands of time.

Love Quest

mirror, mirror, on the wall! who is the fairest one of all? surely not you and me neither, so must we go and look thither? when we do, what will we find? will Rapunzel climb down that vine? or maybe sleeping beauty will awake and Snow white will bake us a cake. but a doom into which the fairest will fall when the prince picks one of us after all. you, my friend will be dissolved with laughter, when i ride away to my happily ever after.
