The Man I Am

Through perseverance

We reap our reward

But what man was I

Refusing your side

So when I made my move

And you your counter too

That was when I knew

Whilst you were the one for me

I was naught but another weed

So when I made my move

And you your counter too

It then I knew

I was not for you

My darling

Sweet and true

Though still I yearn for you

It is said and true

I was not for you

And what man was I

If I cast that aside

Forever

Be it forever

Or only for a moment

Every second with you

Is a lifetime

And when it all ends

Be it forever

Or only for a moment

It was all worth it

For every second with you

Was a lifetime

The Cycle

He told stories, my grandfather

Of the horror, the end of laughter,

Conflicts past, that we shan’t forget

I remember those stories now that we let

All fade to oblivion, break our promises

When life fades into eternities

When the world is once more

On the brink of war

Dancing Lights

Dancing lights

Twirling shades

Flickering shadows and

Raging colours

The building blocks

Of many things

Of fires and storms and

Broken lamps

The Home I Knew

The older I get

The more I know

A shattered dream

An illusion destroyed

A truth, once ignored

Finally revealed

Unveiled at last

As the walls crumble

All around me

And everything I knew

Is gone

In the settling dust

Of the home I knew

I am left on my own
