Explosions

Fireworks at dawn
Fields of colour opening
Wildflowers bursting

Perspectives

Youth has horizons
Elders have reached a new sun
Beyond a mountain

Bagged

Shy lovers so coy
Faces, face off each other
Pursed lips waiting



4
Unsaids

Breaths of love in bed
Heft of lovers airy touch
Weight of whisperings

Love Dimmed

*I have shuttered light
All that is left of my love

Ascend

When the day goes night.
Ascend into the sky, we do.
When everything's not alright.
Ascend into the sky, we do.
This is not real life, you are in a blue dream.
If this was real life, they'd call it a daydream.
The lonely kids are tired of pretending.
Their last option awaits, descending.
Parents on a blind search for what is missing.
All they ever needed was to get away.
All they ever needed was to feel the wave.
All I ever wanted was to save them.
From all of the corruption and mayhem.
Life needs a button labeled "redo".
If we do, what different would we do?
You see, there's others that loathe you.
But they'll never know what it's like to be you.
Look up, there's your destiny for greatness.
Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory—
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved’s bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.

— The End —
