Fire

I've seen the fire

I've seen its pain and I've seen its rain

I've seen its death and I've seen it fade

Doubt of my fears and my desires

when again I'm on that endless road in my mind

build by my desires driving in a high speed chase

on a round about, looking for an exit, not about

to lose the doubts of my fears and my desires

in some empty dusty lane, in the aftermath

of a mental fire,... its flames desire 

to burn me down, yet I've put

my fearless thoughts at work

as they extinguish this

imminent threat

Time

I'm gonna run and run  

'cause my time is running out of time

I've been runnin', runnin' most of my life

to beat it to the draw, to beat it to the finish line

so,...now I have discovered

I can no longer run,...running time 

out of its ending time

I've got to accept, my time's stopped running

and it is calling, steadily walking away

to the end of its line

still,...I haven't lost, 'cause,...

when I reach the finish line

and my eternity awaits me

time will have become endless

and it's running, is no more requiered 

to beat infinite time

Space an' peace

he sits in his chair in his silence

wondering what the world's about

to bring him in his solitude

he knows it might be very little

but in life it's the little things not

the grand gestures that count

they will take you further up your mountain

of progress than anything else in life that will be around

solitude is not an hindrance it is a way to grow in your

spiritual existence

it will bring and give you your so much needed

space an' peace a peace each and every man in

his life needs

Too soon to early too eagerly

she gave up on him too soon too early too eagerly

it was something that caught his eye, he saw a change

a challenge coming, colors of a mistake showing off

her lies

something that could go a long long way

in the shadows of her thoughts in the wings of her mind

and all he could do, was close the window to his soul

and close the window to his mind

so,...he thought about it long and hard

bought a ticket, boarded a flight, flew away

like a bird caught in a cage, leaving what could have been

leaving his breath in a sigh

New Year

I have no words, no words whatever

to let this New Year know how much 

I loved the Old One, but sometimes

you just have to let go and hope 

this coming year will again be the

best ever and those who enjoy my blog

will too be there with me in support of my

poetic efforts, thank you for being

with me each and every day

it is something I very much 

appreciate
