The Coming of a New Age

With every year's end - the advent marks the start of a new day,
as human kind we’re always growing wiser, furthermore, fully face to face with the task of taking baby steps toward a straight forward path —
It’s time to take a stand…
(With that being said: we really need to enjoy such a joyous occasion)
In an effort to boost morale; International Women’s Day should pronounce a two part holiday...

Falling

We 
       fell
             together that night
Under golden shards of starlight
Skin glistening with sweat & tears
A caress to hide our deepest fears
We trickled down like teardrops
Made mercury under a brightening moon
Lips Softly touching 
Hearts merging
The anticipation 
of the life we could have 
        If not for life itself
There was one last look
Through glistening pools of...

30s I was disturbed for years afterwards

The Glory of the Past

A dry leave reminds us the past

Few Seconds at a time

It did indeed

Yes, you slipped away like a bottle of wine

And Taylor was right… you were never mine

Promised to another, but I took the risk

A knife that cuts deep, but you were a brick

You gave me what I needed, a few seconds at a time

But another had your whole, and that made me cry

Tears of joy a few seconds at a time

But as you fleed away, I had a hole inside

Time Will Tell

Is it really a new beginning?

Or just a start to another finish.

I suppose it could be a way to a means.

Or a means to an end.

Or maybe just an ending to another new beginning…
