I am there again
remembering yesterday
like a savage wind
Been here before
like a boy
now a man
….Here I stand

There again
so many years
have come now gone
what went right
what went wrong
Bitter sweet freedom
from the war
I won
….Here I stand

There again
regret leaks
down my cheeks
a taste of ones own
tears brings relief
Now older wiser
I understand why
….Here I stand

to be free
I threw
the last stone
into our glassy
swallow pond
murky with the lies
we’d tried to build
a life upon .

Ripples of freedom
sent to my heart
my soul
will be happier
Now we will be
forever apart.

To be free
you won’t be there
any more

I don’t wish
to say goodbye.
Or
see you one last time
like all the times

You needed me
you would say
now, we will never
ever ….find out why?
You didn’t
even know me
Nor did You
ever try.

Oh what a life
A wicked loving
strange life !
this is what
I believe
I have lived .
To reach for someone
no longer there
Holding their hand
While they sleep
The tears will dry
And memory ’s fade
I miss the love
If it was there
At all……….?

The roadside,
a highways graveyard
for memory’s
and careless litter.

A million
white lines
blend into one

The road
goes on forever
When you're on
the last run.

I found
my yesterdays
on the road to tomorrow
Degraded, discarded ,
old and forgotten.

at night
I see you
in the shadows watching
your eyes burn at me,
I dare not stop!

A million
white lines
blend into one

The road
goes on forever
When you're on
the last run.

tired of the world with all its toil,
cried for the weak ,the lost
too many gun's n bombs
killing and destroying
one day all gone in a flash.

us
Looking at the stars
I wonder where you are
do you still think of me
do you too have a scar
john walker Dec 2015
feel I'm drifting
feel I'm falling
feel I'm losing it
feel I died along time ago
