(Poem) Eidelons - VII

VII.

My pain is an abandoned friend
embracing all the tighter
for having left

At its return, I wonder why
I missed it

Reminiscence of lost things
is not always well placed

Sometimes things lost
are best gone

Their absence making room
for something better


All glitter and guile

Yesterday’s good thing pales
in the light of the new day

The tarnished glaze softens
in time

The harsh light that once
threatened tears
its scar, now healed

Only serves to strengthen.

(Poem) Eidelons - III

III. My happiness drains from me (what little I had) and I am a parched sponge The fierce sunlight is an oven I cannot escape Airborne dust leaves fine red welts stinging The desert is scarcely home but I can find no other The sun is no friend but I can find no more faithful companion The winds of change hold no comfort (Only pain) But behind them whispers Hope.

Nothing - 2

To give your life is often thought the greatest gift It’s not Your life is not your own to give of keep Everyone dies Your soul is your only true possession and it is the giving of this that is the greatest gift To whom will you give it Or, will you try to keep it for yourself?

Nothing - 1

Nothing is what is left when everything’s gone Nothing changes when time stands still Nothing existed before the beginning Nothing stops the unstoppable Nothing fills the emptiness in my heart Nothing is something and when you don’t have much it’s hard to give up even that.
