Door left not open yet not quite closed.
Lending a little light to a room without.
Like a glass half full.
Neither giving or taking space.
Showing
there is a way in or out.

Untitled

Stumbling along lifes rocky road.
Yet still landing on one's feet.
Left to wonder sometime.
How everything seem to work out at the last minute.
Only to remember for every negative there is a positive.

Untitled

Shifting through time neather back nor forward.
Left to be always in the middle.
Given no clues of what is to be.
Not even tomorrow is a sure thing.
And yet we are in our own way.
At least for today.

A cruel fate

A mind grown in time.
No longer recognizing itself .
Carefree youth stolen by time.
Replaced by the cost of maturity .
Forced to face reality.
That nothing is ever free.

The writer

Living between the pages and lines.
Written through days and nights.
Where the real me comes to life.
Letting go of the fake what other people would make of me.
And turning instead to another page to make it my own.
Leaving my mind to wonder with its own thoughts.
While feeling right at home, even if nowhere but between the
pages and lines of a book.

House of cards stacked from one pack.
House of cards holding strong.
Perfectly balanced within its walls.
And yet delicate for if one was to move it would fall.

Untitled

Rolling dice through the days.
Drawing cards by night.
Living
in this life of chance.
Taking possibilities as they may come.
Living
not for sitting still..
For only nothing comes from nothing.
