Silhouette

 

Silhouette

++++++++++++++++++++

The Night enveloped him,

The Devil beckoned with glee.

Darkness held his hand,

Among his old friends,

His tears flowed free,

Theirs weren't shoulders to cry on,

Together, they mocked his naivety,

Oh you fool, they laughed,

Making light of his pride,

And stripping his dignity,

What choice did he have,

But to accept his tragic comedy,

He placed his hand on his chest,

Wondering why it was heavy,

When it was without a heart, Empty,

His old friends laughed,

Happy at the reunited Quartet,

Come with us they called,

There is nothing for you out there,

So he followed, a forgotten silhouette...

Rainbow in the Night

Rainbow in the Night

++++++++++++++++++++

The sun shifted its gaze,

Onto a hopeless world,

I thought I'd see you again,

And then I heard your words,

The thought of losing you,

Had never crossed my mind,

You were always my light,

My rainbow in the night,

I felt my heart break,

My will had finally gone,

My world gave in,

This time, The pain had won,

And then out of nowhere,

Your voice it pierced the void,

You still shined your light,

My rainbow in the night,

Long ago, you came to me,

When I forgot I knew love,

I forgot I knew how to love,

You gave me happiness,

I now know, I never deserved,

When the time comes,

For me to land this flight,

I hope you'll again turn your light on me,

My Rainbow in the Night...

My Sun

  

My Sun

++++++++++++++++++++

A shadow hung,

Behind your gaze,

The sun couldn't smile,

Love forgot its' days...

Then you turned your head,

The fire of your eyes,

This dying planet,

Found its life in disguise...

Your face hidden in light,

A galaxy's forgotton glow,

A tenet that light mirrors,

The river from which life flows...

I am but desperate stillness,

You know my heart's weakness,

I can't venture forth,

Without your love and forgiveness....

I love you, My Princess,

You are my guiding star,

Mothering a child you never chose,

My life, that I love from afar....

Faraway Angel

 

Faraway Angel

Did She walk, did She Float,

An Angel's gait She totes,

He watched,

As another's arm, She circled,

His gaze, from afar,

Like a world from it's star,

He watched,

Her stolen laughs and giggles,

Hid, behind the rustle of leaves,

Under the shadows of the trees,

He watched,

As their lives, entangled,

She forgot he was there,

That his promise was to care,

He watched,

As his time, was strangled,

Hope, he carried and paid its fare,

But alas, She was not there,

He watched,

As with time, his memory, She stifled,

Soon he faded with her whim,

His soul, left with the wind,

He watched,

As the last sunset, faded over the hill...

Mom it’s another year

I don’t know how I got here,

But another one is gone,

And I can’t shake off this fear,

You gained a Grandson,

And Lord know’s he’s so fine,

I can’t begin to imagine,

A time before he was mine,

So many have gone,

We know that’s the price of time,

But life renews itself,

And that’s my faith and lifeline,

I wish you could see him,

And bounce him on your knee,

I see your love in his eyes,

And your laughter in his glee,

Yet it’s not all roses,

You know that’s life’s fee,

I wish I didn’t have the responsibility,

To bury all that’s dear to me,

Till we meet again ma,

When, I cannot be certain,

In all this pain and turmoil,

You are my only constant,

I don’t know what I’ll say ma,

If next year comes around,

Please help and guide us,

So we can all sleep sound.
