The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.  ~David Russell

_______________________________________________________

life has always showed me forks

only forks and nothing more

i come to a point of distant cheer

lest i chance on something dear

they bring me down,they make me low

a decision to be made long ago

it sits in front of me so still

hands me down a path that goes uphill

or should i go the other way

then it all seems normal,it all seems sane

i wouldn’t have a worrying thread

but the thorns come up on my made-up bed

seems either way i have a fight

to be brought to the surface,back to light

and no matter what i seem to choose

i will always be having something to lose

so before i come on that haltering path

that seems to be making my steps fall back

i stay down low,i watch from below

where the colors change with the sunny glow

vivid colors from green to blue

i witness something amazing,something new

and the only sound that resounds around

is the water,and its silence unbound

i lay down here fascinated for sure

but then i crave for something more

i wish i could bring u down here

to show u how perfect the world appears

but then i think u’ll never understand

i,perhaps,come from a faraway land

realize that i can’t stay here anymore

but i don’t want to return to my decisions ashore

releasing a sigh tempered with  pain

i wade up high when u call my name

i know i’ll decide something for me

but for now,lemme go back under the sea.

“Like as the waves make towards the pebbl’d shore,so do our minutes,hasten to their end”~William Shakespeare

_________________________________________________________

the loss that lingered over faith unbound

the treacherous waves with their ungodly sound

the sight compelled me not to look away

until it took away all i had found

all faults are entirely my own

all opportunities have come and gone

in my hand lays the sand

of the beach that i unknowingly found

they warned,they screamed and they yelled

to try to break that venomous spell

that dragged me uncontrollably to the hell

that admittedly, i myself found

but i got dragged even more

even though i think i wasn’t sure

i could still hardly ignore

the things that lay on that ground

shiny little things

tiny little things

precious little blings

followed me around

all sweet collecetions of mine

that i had riskily won over the time

bloody them things are stuck to my mind

how else could i find my crown?

they walked away resolved with fear

my friends who had been so dear

they had had enough and couldn’t bear

the treasure that i’d painfully found

for they knew of my doomed fate

the thing that i loved i’d come to hate

i’d knowingly opened up that gate

that would eventually bring me down

i tried with all my might and more

but damn,i had no luck for sure

the mighty waves that feasted on shores

came here,scenting my ground

and splashed all over my blings

and gulped down my shiny things

and though i still tried to cling

they washed away my mighty crown

now i’m standing on my own

hoarse from the yelling,all forlorn

hoping,still,that i would find

those precious things that i had found

the waves are falling slowly back

their eyes twinkling and laughing mad

and i know i can never go back

so i get lost in the empty sound…
