My Poems 41 - 50

Shepherd  Nova Life 2  Betrayed  Time and Being  Existentialist or Bust  Nightmares

Shepherd

Silently in the night they lurk
Searching for easy prey
Spying a likely victim, they pounce
Success however - not today

 

Nova Life 2

As I travel hard and fast
Exhilarated and euphoric
I easily forget the danger of my position
And how easily it could all end

 

Betrayed

How often through the years I gave
And how rarely I did receive
I have come to expect this from him
Yet never had I realized
The true depth of this injustice
To be forgotten at such a level
Brings me to question our "friendship"
No one-way street goes on forever
And I find myself nearing the end

 

Time and Being

Time is the only true limit to our being
The one factor we can never control
As such it is the most ignored
And accepted for its inevitability

Those who do not accept this
And seek to challenge the immutable
Do so at their peril
For time spent on this quest
Is surely time better spent jut being

 

Existentialist or Bust

We can take control of our own lives
And mould them around our dreams and ambitions
Yet I, as others, simply do not
Preferring instead the east option
Drifting along the current drags us
From white to calm, I worry not

Though contented in my approach
I often feel
The pull of ambition, of desire true
But quickly this evades me
As my current veers towards the gentlest descent

This realization haunts me, but
I find myself trapped in a chasm
With little glimmer of escape
The question is "Have I the strength,
The strength of character to truly be"
The answer I fear is "no"

 

Nightmares

Teeth
Their looseness haunts me
Invading continually the sanctity of my dreams
Fingers
They snap off too easily
Leaving behind a void of white

These visions I suffer
Are all too easily explained
The paranoia of youth
Remains forever still
