Slowly walking towards the light,
I think I'm seeking what is right,
but ere my dreams may take flight,
Something I realize is wrong with my sight.
Good causes evil, and evil, delight.,
I must aim for the mean of day and night,
Striving to walk a straight path with all my might
Seeking the balance between dark and light.
Enjoy. Or not. Just... no rotten tomatos please. I do write poetry from time to time though. Most of it is utter garabage, but a few of the poems are good enough to showcase. I hope...
Flower.
I glance around the room, my eye catching on a mirror,
In its faithful reflection, something I see that I hold dear,
A beautiful flower's image, reflected on the silver metal,
Truthfully shown, down to the last snow white petal,
I feel my eyes brimming, and down my cheek slips a tear,
My lonely thoughts are broken, a shrieking noise I hear,
Not the voice of a sorrowed soul, but only the sound of my kettle,
Numbly I take the teapot off, and watch the water settle,
Pouring it gently into my cup, I let it seep on the table near,
But ere the tea is finished, my eyes again have found the mirror.
Standing in front of it, I feel alone, abandoned, and full of fear,
The flower softly gazes at me, from it's vase of metal,
The friend it symbolizes, I know she'd want my mind to settle,
But I so long again, for her quiet voice to reach my ear,
For the warm and loving comfort, given by one I hold so dear.
Dedicated to all the flowers that have wilted, and to all the blossoms the frost has taken before their time. Not that it's worthy tribute to the beauty lost, but I tried. These next two are sister poems of sorts, I sat by the window watching snow fall before writing them.
Frozen Rain
Frozen rain, falls all around,
Frozen rain, without a sound,
Frozen rain, melting as you fall,
Frozen rain, fading with no trace at all,
Frozen rain, by a different name we know,
Frozen rain, why does everyone call you snow?
Why I smile
When life seems to be all right, I smile.
When clouds hide stars at night, I smile.
When those stars shine ever clear, I smile.
When I'm surrounded by the things I fear, I smile.
When people with their warm hearts love me, I smile.
When my salty bitter tears I want no one to see, I smile.
When the dance of life has caught me in it's embrace, I smile.
When my nightmares come true in seeing a dead freind's face, I smile.
When at long last and through all it's challenges I've won life's race, I smile.
When clouds hide stars at night, I smile.
When those stars shine ever clear, I smile.
When I'm surrounded by the things I fear, I smile.
When people with their warm hearts love me, I smile.
When my salty bitter tears I want no one to see, I smile.
When the dance of life has caught me in it's embrace, I smile.
When my nightmares come true in seeing a dead freind's face, I smile.
When at long last and through all it's challenges I've won life's race, I smile.
