Bleak Journey





















Bleak Journey


Pleasures sought have gone unfound,
hopes and wishes, gone aground.


Fears are found with full impression,
horrors wound in straight succession.


Daylight's darkness dims the light,
waking moments seem like night.


Danger's doom has come today,
fated failures claim their way.


Life regression carries clues,
clashing rhythms stuck like glue.


Waking moments seem like sleep,
seconds ticking make one weep.


Winding stairways, like a maze,
Simple Simon states a phrase.


Simon Says, "Watch your feet!"
Stairways trip you in defeat.


Seconds tick, seem like hours,
fruitless efforts, loss of powers.


Waiting for the final act,
no one leaves this life intact.

old friends

old friends searched online for former friends surprised to see untimely ends friends, their spouses, moms and dads sad to see the deaths they had the inexorable tick and tock of time, leads us all to fields, sublime through twisting, turning hands of fate, soon we'll all be known as "late" years roll on, time is passed no one knows how long it lasts each life is counted out by days as friends we oft go separate ways friend's faces show the lines of age as each one turns his separate page fools fleeting time waits for no man eighty years our lives may span so count your days with special care for who knows how, who knows where our beating hearts will one day stop find old friends before they drop © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image adapted:  By SDRandCo via morguefile.com

spectral kiss the silent echo of a forgotten kiss fills my heart with trembling bliss the surge of love felt from your lips reflects old feelings of love's eclipse passion's image of days long gone my broken heart has not moved on  velvet kiss's remembered touch from memory's lips, mean so much subtle pressure from your sweet lips of which i drank long, deep sips heartbeats count them, one by one from rising moon to setting sun the soothing pleasure of phantom kiss the velvety glory that my lips miss the tender texture of emotion's heights haunt me now in darkest nights pulsing pleasures from tender lips ancient memories through time, slips each kiss that my memory holds are lost to me now as time unfolds where we were to where are we now shields us from time's fleeting prow the vessel that bore us with each kiss has shipwrecked our love's eternal bliss © 2015 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ ...
