Sometimes
I feel a fool
Things not  what they seem
Brendan Thomas Mar 2014
My mind ebbs and flows
Like the perpetual tide
Sometimes towards darkness
Sometimes towards light

Where it lies now
That I don't know
maybe I will
with the dawn of tomorrow.
Brendan Thomas Mar 2014
I must confess
As I undress
The sins I carry
I cannot bury

They haunt in the night
And even in the light
They follow close
But never are they seen

Save for me in my nightmares
And every time between

Will they ever leave me
There's only one who can say
I'm hopeful To meet him
On my last day
Brendan Thomas Mar 2014
Adventurous spirit I still have inside
Though through these bars
no mountains left to climb

No thrill of the hunt
No shade under trees
On a vast arid desert
Like when I was free

Alone in my cage
Though the bars they are rusting
Maybe someday
though I'm no longer trusting.
Brendan Thomas Mar 2014
Each time you run out
It gets harder to wait
Then you get more
And more you will take

One of these days
You'll have waited too long
You'll take way too many
And soon will be gone.
Brendan Thomas Mar 2014
I write for her
Though I don't think she knows
My heart like my words
To her I hope they'll flow.
Brendan Thomas Mar 2014
I see so much sadness
I know I'm not alone
So,So much pain
Rivers of it flow

I understand the reasons
Wish to help them all
How would that be possible
When I still trip and fall

Hope keeps showing itself
Only glimpses at a time
There's one who keeps me moving
She moves me all the time

Someday seems so distant
Like a mountain looming far
But someday keeps me going
Though sometimes it gets hard.
