Last Candle Before Dawn

The last little light goes out A little candle in the darkest corner A tealight flickering for so long On the brink, I think there is a little life left The suddenly poof, and it's gone for ever

Time

So many years since I last saw your face

Friends married and divorced

Still I imagine what if

Does someone still post you

Surprising sweet gifts

Memory a curious ravisher

Masquerade

There's a perfect conversation in each of our heads

Trapped as we each make way to our own beds

Why couldn't we say the words that would soothe?

We had to play games, masquerading our moves

One day we will see that it was mentally

Tiring, exhausting, distracting, strangely

Deep in our souls, to want for more

A simple life is something to adore

Little Poem Y

We can be anywhere
We can be anything
Days spent together
Always surprising
The future unknown
Always exciting
Curious pursuits
Never ending
Holding your hand
Keeping warm
All of the day
Feeling at home

Control

The summer of love reinforced to those in power the realisation that humans enjoying themselves cannot be coerced. Their sole aim is to control through fear. Scared of our neighbour, too scared to go out of our way to say hello. Numbers meaningless become stats and not fellows to help. Let's look smaller and see friendly people in need of an occasional helping hand.

Time to think

I am frustrated with myself when i am witty as often as i sound like i am making a judgement.

Selfless selfishness

I have morals but would i fight or fly if my cosy existence turned upside down. Would i fight for my principles or scurry behind my door? How can i test myself? I doubt myself with the knowledge that my fear of confrontation may get the better off me. In the time i live i an blessed with a stable nation, we are too soft. The world can be a tough place. I worry that the compromise between enlightenment and aggression leads us to living in a state of manipulation where the aggressors pray on the apathy. Enlightenment shouldn't ignore the awareness that an inner steel is required.
