Of life and love
I know not a lot

I've been part of both
Of either I'm not

I don't feel alive
I know not a love

I ask for forgiveness
From the one up above

I guess it's my punishment
For things that I've done

Maybe one day
I'll know more of one
Brendan Thomas Apr 2014
A rift between the two
Now unsure what to do

They once had love
Alas it has withered

No more fruit will it bear
It's vine has decayed

New seeds will they plant
In a hope beyond hope

That their vine will regrow

To my shadow said I
why follow you so near

I lose you with the clouds
But you do reappear

I try to outrun you
But you are too fast

I run to the shadows
And lose you at last

Back in the bright light
Again you pursue

No need to worry
I'm me and I'm you

Come with me
To where love does bloom

In this dark
And sensual room

Candles flicker
A warm breeze blows

A hint of jasmine
Through the window flows

Crashings waves
On outside shores

Leaves two lovers
Longing for more

More love
More time
More moments of bliss

More happy together
More moments like this

Swirls of white
Within my tea

The warming drink
Does comfort me

Around my mind creeping
Demons while I'm sleeping

Awake yet again
Though I'd rather not be

But closing my eyes
Brings the demons to me

Daylight , my reprieve
But alas it is fleeting

Once darkness falls
The demons start creeping

Cup of tea anyone?

Death comes silently

As I lie here in my bed

I shall speak no more
Brendan Thomas Apr 2014
I hope that you find
the other half to your whole

With it true happiness
never grows old

When you do find it
you Will know true love

That is a gift
from the man up above

Work it will take
and you will have struggles

Just hold it tight
and your hearts love shall double
