MY POETRY
                 UNTITLED
The clouds move swiftly
On this moonlit night
As my thoughts wander
And hold me tight

There's been no rest
For days and days
Awake in the memories
Of a lovers embrace

As the full moon shines
So majestically bright
There is no wrong
But this can't be right

These emotions that hold
So tight is their grip
Will there ever be peace
From this maddening trip

Yearning to linger
In this dreadful grave
For it holds a joy
That could not be saved

There is nothing and noone
That can be of any help
As a struggle for clarity
Strives above all else

Sinking to a place
That provides past wonders
Rather than face a new day
Of Pain that's unnumbered

Wishing for change
That can never arrive
Unless it begins
From somewhere inside

Thoughts that wander
And emotions all jumbled
Sanity like a wall
Ready to crumble

Where is the light
The light that is needed
It's somewhere inside
But it will not be heeded

At the end of the day
Still stuck in this place
The struggle to get out
Is yet again, tomorrows race

               IF,IF,IF.......
If grass wasn't green
And birds didn't sing
What would the world be
How would it be seen

If laughter was funny
And sadness didn't cry
What would feeling be like
Why would we try

If light wasn't bright
And dark wasn't anything
What would it be
And how could we see

If life wasn't a gift
And love didn't exist
What would be the point
How would we know what we've missed.
