A dogma, creed, a school of thought A cause for which one could have fought. Goals pursued and victories won, Fulfilling, when there’s a hill to die on. With loss of will, and flame unalive, Perhaps by cause, that’s self-contrived. Once proud follower, now left forlorn, Days are dull with no hill to die on. The self now on its ...

Would you gaze up at the sky Of a hanging grey mound? Clouds brimming with tears, ‘Till they’re kissing the ground. Would you follow the dust and colors, Gushing down the tarred road? Where there are lines washed so white but, Couldn’t meet unless it’s snowed. Would you forgive this rain again, For playing when we don’t want to play? ...
Way too far to reach She stares up at the sky Thankful that it’s the same one They are under. Never has it been this hard To say goodbye But now it all feels empty, A void filled with memories. Every passing moment Feeling like eternity For even time slows down When a loved one is missed. A bittersweet smile ...

The spark is lost, Just like a tiny firefly Who has lost his light, Who has forgotten who he is; Yet dashing and fighting Through the dark Finding his so lost spark Or a friendly little light Who can give a little ignite. A friend who won’t judge; Who won’t run away by seeing The unfortunate insecurities; While this creature, ...
