Will our tower to reach the heavens be scuppered

Lives suspended by an unseen force,
Neither lock,
nor key of to end this,
our lifes cessation,
can be felt.

We journey,
but who is at the helm.
who leads this ablation,
who rips out our freedom.
this 2 and 7 hand we are dealt.

in a far off heaven, its heard.
Click, click, click.
the keyboard sings the locks tune.
our modern gods, mandating,
stay at home,

stay alone.

life must end to start again.
lives drift into the abyss,
without a prayer,
or a lovers final kiss.

we can only wonder,
how to move on,

not buckle under,

to work as a world together,

and hope these modern gods,

in their chairs of leather,

do not repeat the failure,

of great Babylon.

Tattered shadows lay across True beauty disguised as dross. Sullen forms on the surface lay. Shining gold, Dormant. Reflections of Yeats' pavement grey. But joy cannot, And will not, Be kept at bay. From those who seek. Those children, Lost, Wanderers, The meek. They will not find, For they do not seek. Gold lays beneath the veil, A cascade of dust, Broken fragments, Of a child's forgotten fairytale. Look upwards. And you shall prevail, Life a sinking boat, Which you must bail. Happiness cannot be expected, It is you. Yourself, your gilded thoughts, The part inside that lays, Neglected. Happiness, comes from within, To on the surface be reflected. Reflections will appear, In things far and near. Cast off the sullen cloak, Have. No. Fear. Happiness is not him Or her Or it. Happiness is not some thing Is not a bottle, Nor in a book writ. It lays beneath the grime, and grit, A candle, Waiting patiently, To be lit.

The End.

I've cared, I've dreamt, I've hoped, But from me life must have left. Everyone has their time, Mine is now, I fear That smile the oft lit my face, is gone. My cares, my hopes, my dreams, Are done. The curtains must close. Goodnight, and safe home, to you all.

A Love Poem. Thin strands of gold, With the shine that made Jason so bold , Fine tendrils of oriental lace Which frame her most perfect face. She is a perfect specimen. An icon of the human race. Her smile is so sweet, A face I long to meet. She is beauty personified, Such looks as hers, Stray beyond what the world deserves. For she is a gift, like Jesus' myrrh, Like the hellenic sirens, Her looks capture and allure. Her beauty radiates through the night, Angelic, a reverent sight. A Lighthouses beacon beaming, Guiding through the clouds teeming with that solemn murk, which chokes our joy. To think her potential lacks is false, Like the self doubt she harbours sure. Her features, inwards and out Are strands of a web. Threads beautiful alone, But create nature's art, That will never ebb. The light of joy she brings, Draws me in with awestruck gaze, like the songs the Greek Calypso Relayed. Her looks divine, Matched with a brain so fine, Her mind the work of a Go
