Broken Dreams?

I’m tired of waiting for something to happen;Fed up with searching for that magical moment;Working tirelessly to achieve the unachievable.The reward must not exist.There is no light at the end of the tunnel;No golden trophy atop the pedestal.Only the searching and waiting.Yet… the quest continues.

Unspeakable

How dare you? Cause chaos and death; Harm the innocent; Murder the children. How dare you? Lie to the people; Spread hate and fear; All to satisfy your demented ego. You are on a one way path to self-destruction. A rogue monster; Destined to fail; Consigned to oblivion.

Impermanence

I stare at the beauty that I know won’t last, The darkness shall overtake it, Or time will eradicate it. Will a photo truly capture the moment? I think not. I must simply enjoy the view, While knowing in the midst of the darkness that is to come, The next beautiful moment is unfolding.

Pear Tree Flower

A small white blossom; Shall yield such a tasty fruit; A bright shining star.

Wake Up

Yes, I hear your lovely voice; Chanting the morning’s wake up call. I know you have been there all along, But I stopped listening some time ago; Wrapped up in my inner turmoil.

Dread

No sleep for a week or more; Awaiting this frightful day for sure. The scenarios playing through my head; Filling me with a sense of dread. Well, the inevitable moment has arrived; And the urge is there to run and hide. But I pushed through it strong and tall; And found that the dread wasContinue reading “Dread”

Landscape

You stand in the midst of a lush landscape, Waiting for the beauty to wash over you. Instead, you feel unsettled. You want to see the clear water of the babbling brook, But the slick film that shimmers on the water’s surface is undeniable. You turn your attention to the lovely foliage, Small decorative treesContinue reading “Landscape”

Cousin

It has been awhile,Since we last met,A wedding?A funeral?I forget.Whatever the case,How are you?Tell me about,Everything that you do.The family resemblance,Is oh so clear.And your mannerisms,Familiar and dear.But you live there,and I live here;So maybe we’ll do this again,Next year.

A New Place

Don’t be afraid.Yes, the sounds are different;A bit louder, harried, alive.Yes, the people are unfamiliar;Quite diverse, multilingual, multicultural.Yes, the terrain is foreign;A new stomping ground to be explored.A tentative peek;A hesitant step;And there you go.

Turmoil

I thought I had it all figured out;But once again,The universe is playing games with me.What is it telling me now?In a state of turmoil,The creativity flows.I want to sit comfortably in stagnation,Yet here I am,In a frenzied state of innovation.
