Accept Your Destiny

young and tender

green and slender

a slip of life

in december

how atypical

how anomalous

'dree your own weird'

it is your fate

it is your destiny

live it well

Tell Me..

why do you

turn the page

before the 

story is told

do you

hide the truths

or bury the lies

is there a

bitter-sweet

taste

or a sour twist

to your 

tears

as they

roll down

 your face

to touch

your lips

tell me

or

is the end

just

too hard

to take

Passing Ships

apparitions float

upon a furrowed ocean

galleons in the mist
