decieved

I had some time
And a long way to go
When you
Came up with a solution,
Said you would help,
Said it would work.
ha! if only.

You had a slik tongue
From which lies
slithered and snaked
making promises
You Knew you would break
And misled me
through the dark
dreary depths of falsehood

You were a hero-
Supposed to be;
But you were the villian
that savaged hope;
 you decieved us
you marvelous, magnificent liar.

why

why ever did you stay?
when the fighting got worse
the beating harsh
the loving terse
why ever did you stay?

your beauty faded
bruises replaced the radiance
picturesque scar mark
the once flawless skin
that drew ah!s and ohs
from all.

why ever did you stay?
or is it
that you would rather leave
dead
tell me,
why ever did you stay.

MOVING ON

I spent years-
Deacades
Looking back
At what we had:
Dreaming that we,
I, could conjure it
Again.

I spent hours
Reminiscing
The magic, the joy
Reminiscing
Too caught up in the past
To see what the present
held fast

I spent to many minutes
Holding on
When I should have let go;
of a past equally sweet.
A grasped the future
that slowly gasped away.
I am moving on

BACK THEN

When i shook your hand-

Back then,

it was out of respect:

not duty

as most did with you.

Back then,

I thought I knew you

I thought;

We shared great ideas,

Great ideas

That you were different

I silenced the pesmists

And spoke-

At great  length-

I admit

Of how good you were

But your greed hurts me

And regret:

For all the faith

And belief i had,

have turned to disgust.

I SHAKE YOUR HAND

NO MORE.

bitter sweet memories

Listen to the soft patter

Of the rain

The silent whisper

Of the wind

And find answer

To questions never asked

Did you let it go?

Was it all so wrong?

Or was it right

That you did not fight

For it with all your might

That you chose

To forget it

The memories all linger

some taste like ginger

some like a winner

the good and the bad,

bitter-sweet iony

it is

love lessons

I have learnt not to love
Not with the mind nor with the heart
for when the pain comes
it comes to last

love I have learnt
does not fade away
it lingers, and tags
strangely and heavily
at the soul
till you begin to moan

love i now know
colours the world
for I still love
and my heart still creeks
for she that I still need

I AM A BIRD

i am a bird
flightless I may be
But I am a bird
Flapping my wings
At these fleeting dreams

I am a bird
Ready to sore
Take in the sights
dance in the lights
And enjoy the times

I am a bird
free and flying
Even when caged
I AM FREE
Flying across the sea
