A Lighthouse's Sorrow 

Every ship heading to shore looks out,

For that one beam of light to guide it home.

For without it he is naught but a wreck

But remember it takes courage and will.

To be willing to stand along in the perilous sea.

To be the light to guide everyone home

While being alone so that others may rest and watch their kids grow

 Broken Vows 

Good bye were the words used to break the vow we had taken

But love,

A few of us mean each of the promises me speak,

Fighting every obstruction because we intend to keep

Against the flow no matter how big the leak

But I now think I was mistaken

In the simulators that I thought we had awoken

Guess it was time to get my heart torn asunder

For being naïve and making this blunder

 A Warrior's love 

Men ran and hearts broke whenever he swung his sword

But inside his house with his love

Only longing eyes and loving hands interacted

As they shared the burden of keeping their love together

Using those skilled hand to help her prepare their supper

Working the kitchen they just complimented each other

Eternity itself commented that it couldn’t find anyone better for each other

 Broken Hearted Secret

What is the secret behind such good stories asked the reporter

“Love” he answered.

So who is the lucky lady? Was the followup

“Was, not is “ was his barely audible reply

A Wandering Seeker

We are all wanderers, searching for the one thing,
A place where our thoughts lie broken,
But in you every magic awoken.

To some,

We look for it in people, others look for it in the far flung corners of this globe.

For at that place every random thought is bliss,
And with that person every foolish act missed.

Only the luckiest of us ever find this place easy.

For each our we have our battles to win to end up in the place because here it is
“Victory or Coward’s hell”

The world now is full of people seeking, maybe its time for a few seekers to even seek to help others in reaching their goals.

Maybe through such seekers happiness just might have a better chance in the world.

Broken Hearted Bravery 

Only the bravest of us still show our backs to the one’s who’ve betrayed us.

We understand the staying ahead with our backs to them is a proposition much better than going back to cross swords with someone behind us.

Leading is always a better choice , but the wounds of past ghouls always shall haunt our souls helping us grow and keep moving further step by step

True Defeat 

Do you know when you’ve truly lost?

When all your words stop having an affect.

When you feel like the world no longer wants to hear your story.

What you fill the pages with all you can write
                                  but

Those letters and word’s never reach your world

Then you have truly lost because even you pen no longer has a reason to exist.

What the heart wants 

You could be someone who drives the whole world insane but all we want for this life and in the next is
“The one person who can drive us insane while maintaining their own sanity” for that is what is truly precious to us in the whole wide world
