QUIET AGONY

QUIET AGONY

Tears are 
Blinked away
Before
They fall
Revealing 
Pain...

No words
Are spoken
At least  
Not aloud...
Though much is
Said
With no sound!

The unartistic
Painter
Has splashed
Life's colors
On the
Canvas so blank...

The life
Of the hues
Drip like blood
In a pool...

Creating an
Unfathomable 
Mural!

Such disgrace
What a plight
Alone
To fight...

Against the
Stacked odds
Of paint brush
On the paint
Of fragile
Life...!

OH SKY LOVER



TOGETHER IN TRANQUILITY

Oh Sky Lover 
At twilight 
You dim 
Daylight 
Commencing 
Your 
Romance
Beginning our
Night...

While you woo
The heaven
And dance with 
Her in your
Embrace, 
Two lovers
Joined by
Stars around
And over their
Heads,
We call it
A day
And fall asleep
In our beds...

You live dreams
As they realize 
Before yours 
And your beloved one's
Eyes...

We see dreams
In sometimes
Restless slunber
Other whiles
With sights
Laden with tiredness 
Closed to all
Yonder!

Oh, how wonderful 
It'd be 
If only 
We could join
Forces
Sky Lover...

In love 
We human waifs
Would live
Our dreams 
With you 
And Heaven
Together in 
Tranquility!

And when night
Draws nigh 
End,
You'd turn up
Daylight 
Along with us,
Humans
As we awakened 
With contended
Sighs...

How pleased 
We'd all be
With delightful
Nights behind us
New
Love filled days
Awaiting us
In reality 
Dreams
Where we'd all
Live in...!
