Paper Trail

Talking papers arrive
Need to face beside
Scrap not for next time
Send it every time

Not easy to think
Nor easy to comprehend
A little break called for
To go home and rest

This is my task
Have to endure for a while
Comes the morrow
This will be mundane

Destiny Revealed

What is my life for?
What is my purpose?
What is in store in the future?
What will I become?

Show me the way
Show me what lies ahead
I can't wait to see beyond
What my eyes can't reach.

Suddenly, I'm faced by a revelation
Amazed by the sudden answer
A tiny hope springs forth
The fate unchanged by time.

I will be patient enough
To wait until the sun appears
Until the rainbow paints
A kaleidoscope of colors in the sky.

Beyond the Flesh

You think I am who I am
You think what you see is what it is
A shallow description of reality
The depth of me a secret

Stare in my eyes
See what is beyond
Part the cobweb of unawareness
This, this is who I am.

New Beginning

I will finish this uncertainty
Like the precise cutting of the sword.
I will end this indecision
Like stopping the flow of the river.

I will not turn back and run like hell
But will go onward arrow straight
Black and white it will be
Not the gray in between

I will have the courage to do what is right
To forgo the pain and revive my soul
To stop the flow of tears
And start a trail of optimism

To the ends of the earth I will go with you
Through the shadowed path I will follow
In the deepest canyons or raging waters
I will not be afraid

This may be difficult to comprehend
To start anew and leave my past
To others it may sound absurd
Yet you are my heart

When you are at my side it gives me hope
No darkness destroys my faith
The grasp of your hand provides me strength
You are worth my sacrifice

Life Complication

Apprehension assails me, filling my heart with dread
Twisting every veins with uncertainty
My mind having second thoughts
Wanting to turn back to familiar grounds

As the summer ends
When the field grasses turn green
And the torrent of rain pours
Will you still be here?

When minutes stretch to hours
And days turn to weeks
Months become years
Will love still exist?

The risk of opening the portals of my heart
A heightened feeling of happiness
An agony when left alone
Are my actions worth the risk?

Will I consider this a blunder or learning?
Will this be a life changing experience?
In the deepest remnant of my heart,
In this life’s journey the unexpected happens

Frozen Heart

Plunging on cold north ice
Artic yesterday is remembered
Bitter taste on my mouth,
Stiffening my tongue

Revive the embers inside me
Warm the icy feelings beneath
Melt the stiffness of my lips
Replace it with hot embrace

Though depression tries to settle in
Remove this dark cloud entering
The stark truth of love and pain blends
Yet, hope springs forth
