Poem number 3

32 reasons

Times arrow lights the sky

reflecting my eyes and soul

lightning flashes on a faraway shore

leading me to my goal

Exploding shimmers across the sea

catching the fire in my eyes

shaking foundations in awkward silence

moonbeams give light to the lies

No one is staring at nothing at all

time stands still as the morning breaks

I look up to the heavens above me 

and ponder my countless mistakes

The life I have led seems shallow and dark

my future is fading away

where do i go? what do i do?

from my path I have started to stray

The shimmering lights become sharp and clear

and form a familiar shape

my breath becomes shallow

my mouth falls into a gape

In splendour I see you just out of reach

and i reach for you with my last breath

I must reach you if I can my sweet love

even if it means my death

The lies I have spoken have held me back

but the truth sets me free at last

the chains that have held me become undone

and allow me to forget my past

My goal is my love, my love is my goal

and I hold her at last to my heart

I dont want to be alone

and I want to make a fresh start.
