Poems by me

A Small Candle in the darkness

A distant whisper on a fading wind
A tiny splash in a drying stream
A smoldering ember in a dying fire
A flake of dust on a battered shore
Like these, what significance am I you ask
They say I am a short story
With no happily ever after ending
A dark, oppressive shadow is the life they call mine

I dream of a rising sunshine with all its promise
But I get a sunset just passed.
So near yet so far the promise pulled away
But yet I sit, yes alone, but still I sit
Dreaming
Of a better place than here.
Perhaps my dreams are all that drives me
To move forward
In my rut
The dreams almost Technicolor compared to the drab grays I know
Purples, pinks, blues, greens, yellows and reds
But, I realize it?s but a dream and the colour dilutes and fades
And Grey remains again

Take me away from this please someone
This rank existence pains me someone
Questions you think I ask?
I long for golden sands and crashing seas
I get tarmac and bricks
For tropical birds and spring flowers
I get pigeons and weeds
For friends....
I get beaten and scorned
But yet I'm something special
Not so cynical
Not so selfish
Not so ruff
I am an urban legend
A mystery to unravel
An ancient tale
A thing forgotten
My story almost in foreign tongue
A human that still holds hope.......

I memory of the child that died waiting in the snow alone

I find a cold shadow falling across my face
My breath escapes me and forms into mist
My hands are frozen and cold

I am standing, waitng for someone in the snow
I am tired and weak, but I still wait
People pass me, the odd glance
But there not who I am waitng for

Hours pass, and now I feel sleepy
I fight to stay awake,
I fight the cold
I fight to wait
But as the time passes I begin to lose
Until I collapes from waiting
In the bitter night I am alone
I driftin in and out like the tided
The snow falling towards my eyes, covering me
Colder and further way from my body I get
Until all turns black
Whispering my finaly goodby, i give up waitng
But as i am about to leave...I feel a warm arm around me
I look up, a face blured infront of me...
I feel cold tears on my face
A blanket is rapped around me
I waited....and they came
But it was to late....I passed away later...but in there arms
Warm and clean
And I passed, with cold tears on my face
To the after..where I would wait...in warmth

But I nodded....

A bitter wind drives up my arm as I wonder threw the land
Looking concerned I ponder at my hand
I have goose bumps all up my arm
I stop walking, its a sunny day, its warm
I study these bumps on my arm for a moment
Wondering why I feel cold

Then, there is another sensation, a breathing on my nick
I turn...but theirs no one there
So I return to my arm after a scanned around

I feel the breath again...this time it was warm
I turn around, and there he stands
My eyes widen
"Its...its really you!" I squeal with delight
"You..you came back for me"
he took me softly in an embrace
He slowly drew his face towards mine
He became aware of the moisture on my
cheeks as the distance between our faces shrank
He felt my breath drifting across his lips as I exhaled
A shaky, unsteady exhalation.
It was this shaky breath that made him stop
He realised he could feel my body trembling in his embrace.
A shy, timid tremble, almost... scared

Scared
Why was I scared?
this was...what I had wanted for so long
His kiss on my lips
But I was trembling softy in his arms, scared
He stopped and pulled away
I felt so angry at myself
Concern filled his eyes
"I'm sorry..." he spoke softly, and turned away
I was screaming at myself "You fool!"
"W-wait" I manage to force from my bond lips
he turned, his eyes sparkled with hope
"Yes..."
My eyes closed, my trembling contuied
"n-nothing...I'm sorry..."
In my head I was beating myself about "You fool! Hes right there!"
"I should leave..." he added sadly
I nodded, I wanted to dive on him, and kiss him all over
But I nodded....
He left
I still nodded
"What a fool I am..." I thought
I nodded....
