I will be caught
  in the end
  and chastised
  if I write
  to be recognised
  for in that guise
  a victim I will fall
  to silly pride

a  simple stringer
of words and thoughts
through the tumble
of life
a scribbler
a dabbler
a story-teller
on the insignificant side

let the real bards sing
I'll listen in deference
in humility abide

for a small voice
am I
that truth
I shouldn't deny
Fly
You know, you can
In your mind you are always free
To do as you please

Think
You know you can
It doesn’t cost a thing
To think as you please

Dream
You know you can
In the dream world you are always free
So do as you please

Hurt
You know you won’t
To yourself or anybody else
So this life, yours, live as you please
Sway along the breeze
Life
Every day
Today
I am, tomorrow a memory
Maybe
Lived and loved
Yesterday
Year and years
Gone
Missed
Never  
Would it be

Wishes and wishing
Lesser Tests
True the trials
Taken
Not mistaken
Mistakes
Found
Anew wisdom
Frozen

Life
Groom
Learn and learned
What it is to turn
A page
A new leaf
Green
Lessons to lessen
Grey and ground
Brown abound
Dust
It’s soft red rubber friction
Wearing away my existence
The editor of this play
Writing my character out

Out of their minds
A ghost of a memory
My character
Deleted from the screen

Unlike most
I cannot dissolve into this dream
And so shines the god in me!
Traveler Tim
I can trust a few
       not everyone
       unless I were a fool
       and leave myself undone
She doesn’t always look the same
Sometimes she’s a silver sphere
Fooling you that she is bright
But she’s just a mistress of the night

Sometimes only half of her you can see
Following you wherever you’ll be
She hides while dancing in the sky
Half, still a full beauty up high

In time, she becomes thin, crescent
Like a smile, a blissful moment
She looks delicate, discriminating
Only a part of her, still breathtaking

And only those prison of the night
Will witness the euphoric stint
Of showing pieces of her then
The beauty of becoming whole again
Look up, what shape do you see me tonight?

This is inspired by Phases, a poem by Midnight Rain, my friend here at HP. Thank you for the inspiration :)
