Eyes Wide Open

Eyes wide open,

Inch's define,

The windows to the mind,

A sentinel surveillance,

Visions captured not colour blind,

Rose tinted glasses not worn today,

As eyes capture the pictures,

Memories that will stay,

In the vaults of yesterday,

Captured words of what has been heard,

Stored with visions to what they mean,

This reality of what this brings,

For it is marked in history,

In what the new days will bring,

Love Clarity

When is love not love,

I guess that is when the other person says it is not,

When trust is broken and betrayal is shown,

Leaving a heart that is broken,

Inauguration

The World watched in eager anticipation,

The ceremony on parade,

The President's promise on inauguration day,

Has a tyrant left or has a tyrant arrived,

Votes that counted are those that can decide,

Ego will show from the shadows where they grow,

In time the World will know,

 

Moon Light Shadow

A dream of a moon light shadow,

The trickster who deceived the earth,

While a lunar light was shining,

The shadow tricked the tides of the sea,

To starve the golden sands,

From caressing waves,

Leaving boats beached on the sand dunes to await their fate,

The Bitter Equality

What is equality if it said with a bitter tongue,

What is worth if it is not valued,

What is love if you left with a broken heart,

The Town Crier

It was supposed to be a secret,

A reflection of the past.

Lived with the devil,

Word mirrored in reverse,

The Town Crier screaming the secret while ringing a bell with pride,

The orator of my heartbreak,

Taking credit for himself,

The root of all evil spoken in words,

Forgive the Modern Time Blues

Forgive the heart for the rhythm in the beat,

For modern time blues play havoc with the tunes,

Words of love that meant so much,

Make a heart ache when songs are sung,

Reminding of loves of the past,

A reminder of the lust,

Special times shared by two,

Memories stirred by words that were real,
