Darkness Falls

Darkness falls but the cold falls further,
And still light shines into my room,
Silence settles and the candle flickers,
Quietly subdued by the radiance of the moon.

I gaze into the night at the stillness and peace,
But my mind shall not rest for hours to come,
Too many thoughts rallying through,
About love and lust and passion for one.

My attention resting upon this individual,
Absurdity maybe but real none the less,
Do soul-mates exist? I ask to the powers,
But really I should be questioning myself.

Confusion will fill my dreams tonight,
Solving nothing and causing more,
I want for the one my confusion detests,
But have less than no reasons to so willingly adore.

Life

After a day of feeling sick and useless,
I wonder why we have been put on this earth,
I wonder why the power that put us here exists,
And why there are things such as death and birth.

My philosophy for life continually alters,
As new events unfold like wrapping on a sweet,
My knowledge is building along with myself,
But still things lie ahead that I’m not ready to greet.

Is death the end? I don’t believe that myself,
But I can never be sure if this is our one chance,
Life is a chain, but not to trap us,
To link us to every life on this planet’s expanse.

The meaning is our own to make.
