Bittersweet.

first came bliss
a fragile
yet beautiful thing
bridges built
connections made
a smile did it bring

once before
now such joy's
hanging by a thread
barriers formed
barring entry
nothing much can be said

eyes flitting
never having
courage to look
thus it ends
the bittersweet chapter
of life's heavy book.

Zzz.

~written 9th May 2007~

life is fleeting
like a gentle breeze
as souls depart from this place
and life gives up its lease

floating helplessly
like a leaf from a tree
blown by what was
and what would come to be

at the end of it all
the brother of sleep claims its prize
all else ends then
as a single soul dies

the indignance of the world
ignores such a tragedy
ignores the liberation
of a soul being set free

a mayfly is born
and passes on the next day
just as fast we come
and to eternal sleep we lay

Leave Out All The Rest - Linkin Park

I dreamed i was missing
you were so scared
but no one would listen
cause no one cared
after my dreaming
i woke with this fear
what am i leaving
when i'm done here
so if you're asking me i want you to know

when my time comes
forget the wrong i've done
help me leave behind some
reasons to be missed
don't resent me
and when you're feeling empty
keep me in your memory
take out all the rest
take out all the rest

don't be afraid
i've taken my beating
i've shared what i made
i'm strong on the surface
not all the way through
i've never been perfect
but neither have you
so if you're asking me i want you to know

(forgetting) all the hurt inside you learned to hide so well
(pretending) someone else can come and save me from myself
i can't be who you are

Second Star To The Right And Straight On Till Morn

Sitting alone
two in the morn
staring at the sky
just gazing
appreciating
as the wind blows by

what's it like being up there?
i wonder
with no troubles at all?
just being there
looking
never having to fall?

those stars
they wink at me
little lights twinkling
dancing through the night
to some invisible tune
i wonder if the sky can sing?

there!
a bat flits by
lucid in movement; free
at home in the sky
no worries at all
how happy it must be!

the wind blows again
touching me gently
sleep takes me
by the hand
second star to the right
and straight on till morn
i float off
into dreamland.

:)
