I Fell in Love a Thousand Times

And a thousand times my heart was shattered
Not by what was but what never will be
And that is the sorrow
The guilt tinged regrets
Of chances taken prematurely
And chances taken posthumously
Though to fall in love even once and be loved back.....

Money

Allows for the speedy transformation of idea into reality, if well put to use
Keeps a roof atop your head, food in your stomach and piece of mind when traveling
Not to be worshiped only utilized, the line between the two can blur though
So we strive to achieve and in the process accumulate more or less depending...
Wishing that it were not so simple yet so complex

Left With Nothing

What is to fill the void
A longing left to be unfulfilled
Wistful but melancholy
What a strange pair
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
Ok

The stubble

on my face
the short brown hair wandering down my forehead
I see my father in the mirror
I am filled with mixed emotions
Set upon life
Now growing older
I see the resemblance increasing
This makes me proud
But it also alludes to times passage
And acclaims yet accomplished

Mirage Impressions

I stood before the alter of industry
Staring up at the monoliths of achievement
Aspiring to their heights
Within the shadows but glimpsing sun
Then transformed both self and soul
But the metamorphosis was incomplete
And left between two existences was I
Time past and turmoil ensued
Till the next time I stared down the ravenous beast
This time a chill overtook me
And the desire to flee
To retreat from the burnt earth beneath my feet
Once again to the shores I tread
To look upon the vastness of tomorrows
While the embers still smolder behind me
Burning my back as I stand and wait for the tide to return
