Lonely Day

Once a day I feel the pain,
The heartless ache,
Of a loveless strain,

Twice a day I live a lie,
I sit and stare,
While others cry,

And every day, though I've tried,
I can't help but feel,
That I've died inside.

Deepest of Dreams

His eyes were closed,
In eternal sleep,
The room was chilled,
By a rhythmic beep,

His mother cried,
On the edge of despair,
As she gently ran through,
His bright golden hair,

She hugged him tightly,
Praying in tears,
That he would survive,
And that her fears were just fears,

He was her world,
And she loved him to death,
And he showed her that love,
In every last breath,

She shed one last tear,
As he opened his eyes,
Her delicate heart,
Was filled with surprise,

They hugged each other,
With tears in their eyes,
They loved each other,
And love never dies.

Shattered Box of Dreams

Unknown to you,
Unknown to me,
We look Inside,
But still can't see,

Reaching in,
Our hands touch not,
The emptiness,
Of thoughts unthought,

Close your eyes,
What do you see?
A life so real?
A life with me?

How does it feel?
To know it can't be,
The pain is real,
The pain is me.

Goodnight Ebaneezer

From deep in sleep,
He jolts awake,
His heart beats fast,
As frail bones shake,

His life was done,
his time was near,
He lay in bed,
Instilled with fear,

Time would see,
And time would tell,
Time had broken,
His brittle shell,

His eyes shut tight,
With failing health,
The cold dark shade,
of Death itself,

Within his mind,
It's crystal clear,
His life was done,
His time was here.

The Choosing

Left or right?
Who to fight?
Was I wrong
To take up flight?

I guess it's wrong,
To think your right,
When you yourself,
Can't see the light,

The winding path,
Of which we choose,
Will you win?
Or will you lose?

Can you pick,
The perfect close,
When the fork you cross,
Has a million roads?

So take your time,
And just be free,
Just look around,
And soon you'll see,

It will be clear,
And the right time will come,
But right now my friend,
Just soak up the sun,

We get just one choice
For each opportunity,
Give it some thought,
And give ingenuity.

Before you decide,
There's a look in your eyes,
A wish of great hope,
To take home your prize,

But whatever it is,
Be it life, luck or love,
Be thankful for it,
Your gift from above.
