"Simply Complicated"

As the sun sets

A wash of colour seems to ever so slowly pour over the sky

Tangy orange...

Vibrant violet...

And cotton candy pink seep through the clouds upon the horizon

Baby blue and a slight hint of mint green drift with your eyes

Searching...

Outward as well as within

The loniness that you now carry with you is so silent 

It cuts you so fine that you don't even realize it...

Simplicity has fled...

And the question begs to be answered

How do we make our lives so complicated without oven trying?

Because the true truth is what matters

It cannot, and will not be ignored

That we all live with the residue of our choices...

As well as the consequences of our actions.

"Golden Smile"

With each delicate breath I recall each second

A tingling shiver travels the length of my spine

Flushed to the core with warmth

Endless moments join the next

My eyes take snap shot after snap shot

Images filed and stored away

Multiple visions cascade

Rippling throughout my mind

Embedding themselves in my memory

The anticipation is fulfilled

But I am left wanting more

Until the next time...

When you say hello

And I get to see your bright golden smile.

"Tired Answers"

Following you...

Hand in Hand...

Has led me down a dead end road

Like falling leaves, I have slipped away from you

Second chances are given that name for a reason

And all choices have expired

All that is left is bitter ruins

Pieces of life have unfolded

Our actions are just that

Our actions

And we need to own them

Even with comfort given

It cannot be received if its given cold...

And the convicted guilty cannot be redeemed with pleading simple innocence

Because the more things changed

Somethings stayed the same...

And I have grown very tired of this...

Because the worst words that could ever be spoken

Are the ones that go unanswered.
