Ice

Ice of foretelling

the sun reflects upon the ice and blinds all to its sight,
the ice can show images of a long ago time, or present day, and in some cases even the future,
whether it be short term, or hundreds of years from now,
i see an industrial wasteland.
the last of the deer in the forest has been killed,
the final tree has been cut down,
all is bare and unlovely, once the earth was seen as a blue green jewel from space,
now it is brown and desolate, for now the time of man wanes,
the end comes as the last human looks up at the stars,
and so dies, no life now, nothing to blame, only the desolation of our own folly comes full circle,
the atmosphere poisoned, the water toxic,
our death is seen in the ice

New Year

Dead New Year

The People cheer as they count down the new year
Outside there is an old man sitting in the cold watching the snow flakes fall,
The people cheer 5
The man sits down and looks up,
4
The man smiles and scratches his beard,
3
The man looks down at the street to see the street lamp go out,
2
The man closes his eyes and smiles no more,
1
The man stops breathing
0
The ball has dropped, the old man is dead.

Ever After

Ever After

There will always be blue skies after gray clouds,
There will always be a bright sun after the dark night,
The warmth of the light will always shine on your face,
When the pale cold leaves,
You'll always wake up from evil dreams,
You'll always be happy and be loved,
You'll always have a friend when u need one,
Your love will not be wasted,
Your heart is made of gold.

Blessings

Count Your Blessings


You have many friends,
Count your blessings.
You have the love of others.
Count your blessings.
Your life is good,
Count your blessings.
Love is not far off for you,
Count your blessings.
You walk down the isle,
You see your friends smiling at you,
You see your love at the end waiting for you,
Your eyes begin to tear up,
You have counted your blessings,
You have seen your life unfold,
You begin a new future with the one you love,

Outside there is an old man sitting against the wall with his eyes closed,
His life uncrumples in his mind,
His descisions, his choices, his love
His loss,
His downfall,
His peace he used to have,
His every meal,
His every drink,
He counts what few blessings he has,
He gets up from where he sits to see the happy couple go into the limozine,
He smiles at them and he starts walking away,
And for a moment the couple look back and see the old man turn a corner,
His life came into their minds,
His peace, his love,
Their eyes were his for one moment,
And now they count their blessings,
And they see now,
They have far more than he ever did.

Loves Fire

Loves Fire

Love is a fire,

You can be burned,

You can be hurt,

The flame can die,

You can put the flame out,

You can be warmed by the flame,

You can be at peace watching the flame,

Nothing but the crackling of its embers,

The fire can bring light to the dark,

The fire can bring joy in the day,

Love is a fire,

Dont be afraid to get burned.

Sunset Love

Sunset Love

Under the tree there is a couple,

Holding hands as they watch the sunset,

The orange light on their faces as they look into each others eyes,

They see the others future,

They see each others life together,

They smile at each other and kiss as the last rays of the sun go beyond the hill,

They keep looking into each others eyes,

The stars begin to come out and all of the clouds leave,

They sleep there that night,

Watching the stars and the moon,

In each others arms.

One of my Dreams

The One of my Dreams

Being beside you I feel warm,
A warmth in my heart that I have never felt before,
Your smile is enough to make me smile,
Your breath is the only air I want to breathe,
Your I want to be in your life,
Part of the paradise that is your personality,
I want to be with you,

I hope you want to be with me,
Because this poem is about to get real cheesy,
And that might not be a good thing,
So we could have some good times,
And not so good times,
But I'll always be there for you.
