Atone

To dare. To care.
To wonder what took one there.

One kiss. To reminisce.
To wonder about that bliss.

To leave. To grieve
To wonder what to believe.

To be alone with all that’s known.
To wonder if one could atone?

The Deepest Scar

Love has no conscience.
Love takes no blame.
There is no heart that love cannot claim.
Love is a trip.
Even the insightful love can outwit.

Love knows no reason,
Nor a time and place.
One love another love can quickly displace.
Love can be a contract.
That contract can be inexact.

Love flatters. It can also betray,
Those whose in its arms it once did lay.
Love is kind. Love is cruel.
Love can turn a wise man into a raging fool.
Love can shine bright like the polar star,
And love can leave a heart with the deepest scar!

Walking On Graves

Darkness releases the shadows where it’s safe to hide
The battle’s been fought, all thoughts have died.
Mindful of steps that beckon beyond
The graves with no voices that cannot respond.

Pain surrounds and walks close at hand.
Only in agonising madness is it safe to stand.
Escape is fiction, there’s nowhere to abscond
Except to graves with no voices that can respond.

Once there was beauty where now ugliness stands
Time was a treasure that was ripped from the hands.
Imagination is suffocated by the billowing fronds
That grow on the graves where nobody responds.

Warriors were warriors on one frightful day,
When life came along and swept them away.
Now they’re dead and the life they’re beyond
As they rest in their graves and never respond.

Dreams always vanish as the guns are fired
And the ground swallows the bodies of those expired.
Graves don’t always carry the names of the dead.
But we all walk on bodies wherever we tread.

Puzzled By Life

I am riddled by the predicaments
That have confused certain things.
I cannot understand why some judge others
And officiate as though they are Kings.

I find it somewhat bewildering
As they are never in the wrong.
But yet condemn others
Simply because they don’t think they belong.

If you base your assumptions
On things that are difficult to fully comprehend,
Then unless your knowledge is extensive
Where will your pomposity end?

Do You See

Death comes to those who are right and those who are wrong.
Death is a gift for the weak and the strong.
Death has no quarrel over religion or skin.
Death takes the righteous and those that do sin.
Death has no friends but some seek its hand
Death has no feeling, but does understand……

That the past has been lived but now it has died.
The future’s not certain and that makes some terrified.
The present is all we’ve got and it’s ours to be used,
But life created death and death is not confused.

You Are

You are the light in the dark.
You are the breath of a wave.
You are the scent of the night.
You are what the dying do crave.

You are the words that bring silence.
You drive all shadows away.
You are the smile that’s so welcome
You are the Love in our day.

Spuds

I fell in love with a potato when I was only three.
One rolled off the table and landed on my knee.
I looked at it, I stared at it when suddenly it did say,
“Have a bite. You’ll like me. I come in many a way.”

As I grew I enjoyed them from roasted to mashed.
My loving of them became quite simply; unabashed.
Feelings change of course as one does slowly mature,
But for me, the attraction of a potato still has a great allure.

I’ve never tried a sweet potato but I’ve heard they are quite nice
Despite never tasting them I bet they're better than rice.
Peel a potato, stroke a potato then as you feel its fleshy part
You may fall in love with it and find your own sweetheart!

Boom, boom.
