Bidding goodnight to the day that's been Velvety skies bring soft moon beams Stars come shooting, granting wishes Pulling lovers with tender embraces Dreams, nightmares come alive We enter worlds real and bright Some we wish to exit from Others we wish to stay within
Capricious
Time is upon us so it seems To shake the year off that has been New beginnings bring joy and hope To all those who could barely cope Capricious was the year just gone With illness gripping every dawn I pray this year will heal and mend This world we all love till the end
Vivid Youth
Backpack in hand off I went To soak my thirsty brain So many things to share with many a friend Much in the way of knowledge to gain Gone are those days so carefree Devoid of burden and duty Our only job was to be joyous and free With the promise of tomorrow a sure guarantee Memories so vivid they brighten my face I will take with me to my ripe old age Never will that time be within my embrace A youth lived well faded away by change
Till loneliness turns to dust
Through the mirror she could see The beauty and grace she could be Invisible was she from plain sight She wished to be seen with her fire so bright Never did they stop to glance Or ever give her a chance For she had no standard beauty With a single requisite set by society Why was there no love for me she wondered When all around her were enamoured Am I any less worthy Than anyone else on this human journey Carry on she must With all this unjust From dawn till dusk Till loneliness turns to dust
Adrift
Why must it always be such He thought walking in a rush The distance was once passable But now impossible She's always near, yet too far to hold I'll be by your side, so she told Like the wind he cannot catch and keep He tries in vain from a place so deep Hard as it may be to remember The spell they were both once under Homebound she is tomorrow, and he will try his luck He grew impatient as dawn slowly turned to dusk
Tether
There are ties that bind us by blood, those we cannot choose. Then there are those that we tie ourselves. Ties made in a split second, without hesitation, with all good intentions.
She couldn’t back down now, it was too late. On the one hand she felt an incredible amount of self worth, on the other, utter disbelief at what she had just done. For better or worse, she was tethered to this stranger forever now. He would have jumped!
Message in a bottle
For the weekend writing prompt
Sun rising over the blue
Silken sand and rosy hues
Bottle dancing on waves of ivory
Letter inked before this century

Where have I seen that before?
This happens to me a lot, and I am not sure that it’s too common. So I thought I would pen it down to make myself feel better. Whenever I purchase something new, I begin to see it all around … Continue reading
