Literature: Shadows of Love

Shadows of Love

Your presence once blanketed me
But your love was one of which
Blotted out the sun and left me
In such comfortable shadows

The darkness has its own appeal
And for a time I wanted to feel
Skirting amongst pain and thrill
This shimmering edge of insanity

The light is always brighter still
And happiness directs its own will
So I walked away from your sight
To see in solitude the sunlight

Nostalgia has never been my forte
And this poem is not a serenade
For I am not one to spill tears
On memories of yesterday's years

Literature: Catch Your Light

When I inched away from your love

I started falling into a darkness

So slowly that it took me a while

To see that you looked fainter

When we took the time to reflect

And you shook your fist

And I shook my head

Things started to become clear

Clear that you're not the setting sun

The light bygone never to return

But the rising one which for a time

With clouds have hidden you away

So on my rocket I will fly up

With every foot higher I see better

That you are always there

Shining as bright as before

For me to catch your light

Literature: Red Light

Don't ever let people decide how you should travel in this road of life. Wrote this poem as a simple message of that:

Red light of the sun

Fading into the night

I'll shut the shutters

I'll sit and just breathe

I breathe in sorrow

The slave of your world

Every little action

Only falls onto me

To follow your words

Is to just wait there

At the crossroads of life

Stopping at your red light

But do you know?

On this journey

Only change can happen

When I change myself

Red light of the sun

Giving away to the night

I'll shut the shutters

I'll sit and just breathe

Breathe of peace

The ruler of my world

Courage of conviction

In everything I do

So I say I believe in you

Do you believe in me?
