I saw the light, but I swear,
It flashed between my eyes.
This tunnel I walk blindly
Being hit a hundred times.

My skin I tear and tear,
To find the light once more
But all I get is nothing,
But blood and flesh and gore.

Misunderstandings.
It all starts with misunderstandings, if you would try to look over your own nose, you'd see.
You'd see that I am just trying
trying
trying
trying
to reach out.
With false hope, I got shot.
I thought it meant more.

Colm
Ruler
 Dec 2016 Rowan
Colm
The emperor, the conqueror
Commanding every confidence
Cold, calm and under control
A version in the past tense

A shadow lock atop a cliff
Staring into the abyss
Humanity is underneath
The very point of his fingertip

And yet he waits for what might be
And casts his eye on every scene  
Having seen the way the world did bend
Beneath the bow tyranny

His hands hold out and underneath  
The sovereignty which is at hand
But always will he watch the streets
For the enemy of every man

Make the heart a lovely garden,
Ever cautious of what you sow.
Fill each space with deeds of kindness,
Where the seeds of friendship will grow.

Open the gates to this heaven,
When the world gets hell outside.
Let them walk through this garden,
Make them feel like at home inside.

Tend to it now and again,
Make sure you always heal the pain.
Some will be nice and gentle,
Some will throw it in the drain.

It is afterall, your own creation,
Upto you to how to mend.
It will be your life's reflection,
Nurture it with love in the end…

Wanderer
The creaking song of autumn trees
Softly singing in midnight breeze
By cool glowing light of silver moon
Close memories are tied to hearts that wound
Into strong arms I once lay, easing into sleep
Now I whisper by shadows, my secrets they keep
I can still hear your voice reading Vonnegut in bed
Where you read now is all in my head
Year after year the hours do toll
My once diamond heart now reverting to coal
Fragile and dusty to embers with flame
I wish I could quit you and bring you back the same
Another year is sliding by without you. The ache burns still.
