Many regrets
Lay weeping in my head
Many regrets
I just can’t forget.
Many regrets
Many regrets
Are with me still
Many regrets
As of yet.
Many regrets

Many Regrets

My Future Seems Bright
July 27, 2015
Like the night, my future seems bright
Sparkling stars blinking
Radiating light.
No sacrifice is big enough to suffice
No heartache will replace the feeling
Deep within the night.
I can see my way so straight and clear
No darken path
Will I tread my dear.

The Name Of That Wonderful Person
July 24, 2015
Do you know the name
Of that wonderful person
The one that shared your life
Thru happiness and strife?
Always there, always
Always there to count on
Always there to turn to
In this stressful life.
No need to know the name
It will change for me or you
This person is the one
That is there whenever
You need them to be too.
I thank this person
With all my heart
As you should too
For without them in our lives
Whatever would we do?

Sitting Here Thinking
July 23, 2015
Sitting here thinking
Thinking of things.
Not much happening
The morning is pleasant
As clouds drift across blue sky
And I hear birds sing.
Problems may be many
But this morning
I fear not a thing.
I’m just sitting here thinking
Thinking of things.

When The World Is Laughing
July 22, 2015
When the world is laughing
And things are profound
Stand on their steps
Then lightly step down.
No holes will be barred
No one will curse or swear
Just jovial laughing
Not one bit of despair.
Hear the world laughing
Join the chorus of delight
Smile with pleasure
Let heartache take a hike.

Brilliant Disguise
July 21, 2015
Brilliant disguise
Right in front of my eyes
No fancy dress, no holding up
A tent of darkness .
Just standing there
Looking like a warm, courteous thing
Smile inviting
Beckoning in.
Trusting, I begin to move forward
To be enveloped in
That disguise
That brilliant disguise
That sucked me in.

I Love The Ticking
July 20, 2015
I love the ticking of the tock
No hesitation
No what not
Tick,
Tock
Tick,
Tock
All the time
Making hours from seconds
One at a time
Tick,
Tock
Tick,
Tock
I love the ticking
I love the tock
Keeping time, no matter what
Tick,
Tock
Tick,
Tock

Stony Heartache Desperate Longing
July 17, 2015Stony heartache, desperate longing
Manufacturing life in a realm of belonging
Don’t be deceived, keep your focus
On what is right
Journeying thru the darkness
Well into night.
Born to believe
In the goodness of life
Never deviate from the path
That is absolutely right
Down the trail which holds you
Be it left or right.
Take the way
That in your heart
You know must be
The only one to lead
To the holy altar
Of serendipity.

Bring Your Heart
July 16, 2015
Bring your heart to the fight
Let it show strength isn’t all that wins
Wins the fight.

Sudden Clouds
July 15, 2015
Sudden clouds
Come crashing down
Throwing thunder, lighting
All around.
Not to rest, no respite
Chaos, fear just surround
Bringing dread
The only feeling to be found.
Over soon
To see the light
Feel the sprinkle washing hope
Throughout the night.
No more quaking
No more fear
Only soothing trickle
Cleansing clear.
