Our empire fades into obscurity
And all we were known for
Vanishes away

Where our vigour was given away
And our greatest achievements
Turn to ash

What made us, us
Fades into the void

And all we fought for
Is gone with the wind

And now is my turn

What is there left to fight for

#poem

Ten thousand ways
To say one thing
Yet none do justice
To what I feel

#poem

This world of ours,
It is insane,

This world of ours,
It is sad,

This world of ours,
It is flawed,

This world of ours,
It cannot last,

Not like this.

#poem

Life is a story
Of wisdom, and of learning
About your own self

#poem #poetry

Love shall conquer all
Yet I don't care at all
Mine did not, conquer all
And he didn't care at all

#poem #poetry

Be it forever
Or only for a moment
Every second with you
Is a lifetime
And when it all ends
Be it forever
Or only for a moment
It was all worth it
For every second with you
Was a lifetime

Today's #poem. This and more on my #blog, link in bio.

Today's #poem. It has seen revision since it was originally written in 2014, but it is one the the first works I ever wrote—the start of my #writing journey.

The ship has sailed so long, but to what
end? What does age matter, when one hole is
enough to make it sink, to take its life?
Into meaningless directions without
praise and glory, to a
future of uncertainty and little
happiness. It is a mystery.

The older I get
The more I know
A shattered dream
An illusion destroyed
A truth, once ignored
Finally revealed
Unveiled at last
As the walls crumble
All around me
And everything I knew
Is gone
In the settling dust
Of the home I knew
I am left on my own

Eyes like stones of smoky quartz
All I ever wanted of you was to waltz
Tangled and spinning around
Till we were tired and falling down
Like never before

#poetry #writing

Kiss my lips
Then strike me down

Be my change
The balancing scale

My life and my death
My love and my hate

Yin and Yang
The rolling tides

Kiss my lips
For good, for bad

We will remain
In eternal dance

#poetry #writing

Dancing lights
Twirling shades
Flickering shadows and
Raging colours

The building blocks
Of many things
Of fires and storms and
Broken lamps
