gems

an emptiness engulfs

and coils tightly,

around the heart

...the eyes moist slightly

when all you want

is your epitaph to read:

lived a nice and happy person,

you are slapped by someone of your deeds

the head is spinning

ears are ringing

there is a numbness

but it is screaming

screaming with reality

of what I have lost

of what was mine,

what I should have cherished the most

why are the lessons lost over time?

how many chances will life offer?

god gifts few priceless gems

but showered countless in my coffer

they'll shine for you;

they love you, they'll shine some more.

So, no matter how dark the clouds,

never lose the ones, you they adore

some i lost.

some i have.

some i threw,

faulted in judging value of many, perhaps.

Time to take this as the last lesson

life anyway gives only a few.

else, soon the last of the gems will slither away defeated,

all left then will be just you, you and you

Everything is fine

the wall was built

with good reason

little does one know

the ways of treason

surrepitiously,

the barrier fell

very suprisingly, it felt good

one could tell

after long

the sun shone

the feeling was like,

a king back on renounced throne

flowers seemed to smile

rains felt like little pearls

was i dreaming?

is this really happening again

but do the winds of change ever stop?

down they came

everything was expected,

except the speed of change

there is no stopping

the stream of tears

with them comes

a sense of fear

will this cycle never stop?

of seeing dreams with open eyes,

never daring to make them come true

when slowly the dream takes shape, a sinking heart realizes,

as always, it was too good to be true

you give some,

you get some

what goes around, comes around

never forgets to drive the message home

where does one go from here

the same paths?

that were trodden in despair?

sadly, the answer is yes

so wear the evening dress,

put up the smile, which says everything is fine

indifference is your best shield

start working right now

remember? you have a wall to re-build
