The Time To Love Has Come And Gone Awry

The time to love has come and gone awry
The lonely footsteps in the sand remain
Connecting all the days that passed us by

The laughter of the wind is near with sigh
Did you ever feel the world was insane?
The time to love has come and gone awry

Approaching closer to the bridge of why
Our ugly deeds are our curse to retain
Connecting all the days that passed us by

It is too late to shed a fear and cry
All is loss what you always thought was gain
The time to love has come and gone awry

Is it a sin to fail to even try?
And sacrifice your life to hide the pain
Connecting all the days that passed us by

Is not loving just another way to die?
Life’s out walking in a warm July rain
The time to love has come and gone awry
Connecting all the days that passed us by

Poetic Dreams

Considering the price we have to pay
Why a poet would do it, who can know?
Struggles are many, but we win the day
~
Seeing as how there’s so damn much to say
Guard your ideals against the wind that blows
All I ever wanted…to show the way
~
In our daily strife, silence held at bay
Many the storms that toss us to and fro
Struggles are many, but we win the day
~
Observing life’s light until the last ray
Seeing is believing, let your light show
All I ever wanted…to show the way
~
At the end of the day, let your head lay
By your sweet love’s side, shining from the glow
Struggles are many, but we win the day
~
A journey well worth the taking, come what may
Beauty is found in the rhythm and the flow
Struggles are many, but we win the day
All I ever wanted…to show the way
