He Said...

Life has a way of letting you know when you need

more light & guidance or when to let go!

Walking under the starry moon lite sky

wondering if those stars are the light

guiding me on this journey or if in

fact they are shooting stars, raining

down on my dreams, crushing all hopes & beliefs.

 

A fountain of youth bares its true HD colors

as past memories splash around mocking

my current dilemma, creating uncontrollable

ripples that stop at the shores of my present

but continue into the oceans of my “to be”.

 

Staring at the untold stories outside the window

in my head, thinking to myself if you can see

through that same window, seeing into all my lost

& hidden stories act themselves out or are they more

of a diorama; enclosed scenes frozen in time,

a replica illuminating its showcase.

 

Back and forth things swing from good to bad,

 whole to empty. Taking turns pushing each

other of life’s swing set, always wanting to go

higher, up & down, trying to hold in that burning

impression you left within. You lit the last remaining

candle in my heart, created a heated passion

both water & wind couldn’t extinguish.

 Instead you immersed it in gasoline, prolonging

the concentration of the heat for you, only comparable

to the deepest, shallow levels of hell.

 

Life has a way of humbling you down to a point

even our love sleeps with separate sheets.

I used to be the cure for your love & now

I am barely a walk in the park. Separate sheets or not,

I rather go to sleep in loneliness, then fall asleep in your darkness.
