kind hearts and broken souls,
what's going to fill that hole?
anger and betrayal's all we get,
but a little love can make us whole.

once bitten, twice shy.
now we know your sneaky ways.
cunning, scheming, devious, sly,
yet none of them amounts to you.

so crawl on now, you sneaky snake,
with venom teeth you poise to strike.
we'll never make the same mistake,
under your feet we will not quake.

How can we dream by staying awake?
How can we get lost without being lost?
How can we keep a secret without keeping it?
How do we keep a dream burning?

All get lost but only some get to wander
We cannot keep a secret by telling someone
Just like how we cannot keep a dream burning
by being a living waterfall
"Then you grow older and that innocence is shattered and somewhere along the way the reality of life gets in the way and you're hit by the realization you cant be all you wanted to be, you just might have need to settle for a little bit less" this is a line from the book love, Rosie and it's just a perfect quote like it's an explanation for my poem. There are dreams that are meant to stay as dreams and nothing else.

as the swan dances through the sky
I whisper
'you fly in your freedom,
as happy as can be
and here I sit
wishing someone to set me free'.

and as the cage around me
erupts in flames
the swan answers
'i have freed you,
but never forget:
no one is ever completely free
it is simply imagination,
you see'.

I have this watch with no hands on it
So it never has to quit
As I've found out when it comes to life
That time is irrelevant

And that's what my watch reminds me of
With my reflection in its face
That all the time in the world
Is not enough if you don't live today

I check my watch quite frequently
And the only one I see
Is the only one of my concern
And that my friend is me

I'm now in the business selling watches
With reflections but no hands
To help those in need to realize
There is no time for demands

Take all the time that you like
This watch is custom made
With no hands but the reflection
To remind today's the day
My world,
was overcast in
many ways, dark
cloudy gloomy days,
scary moonless starless nights,
The heart was sinking with pain.
One day with lightning it poured as
rain of words themes, i wrote, wrote and wrote, in the  dream space i float, now my grey world is painted with the colorful themes, highlighted with my deepest feelings and in the bright sky the words are dancing with syllables,
The seeds of hope buried in the dark, when watered with the raining words, sprouted. The plant, when nourished by divine grace, fertilised by new ideas and creativity, came out of doom, about to bloom. one day
it will offer the shadow
of solace and the
fruits of love to
wanderers,
stranded
broken
loners
soon
will
turn
into
