Fate ..

How cruel is fate,
putting thorns in my road..?
And I know
my dues will never be owed..

I took the path most trod upon,
and not the one less traveled..
It took me past the rising dawn,
which just never unraveled...

It took me down a narrow pass,
into a shrouded night..
It wanted to see my ruin,
To see my miserable plight…

Deceived I was, in every breath
lingering even in my demise,
and, therefore my fate is sealed,
that never shall I ever rise…

Eventually ...

And then,
silence became habitual ..
words became expressionless ..
memories became thoughts ..
life became lifeless ..

a breathing dead ..

Some Dreams ..

There's no peace in this world,
As every gasp takes a cost..

The whispers ricochet soft yet clear,
to ears of those who are close and dear..

With eyes so full,
A tide of memories dance..

And fill the air with dreams that are,
and those.. that aren't..
