Life's Deception

Staring at nowhere,

waiting for something to occur,

listening to the pounding

of the heart

as a vague shadow slowly appear.

While waiting for its transformation,

suddenly came the realization

that nothing will come to form

for indeed

it’s part of life's deception.

GREED

Pretending

to be noble

but the inner self

is so corrupt…

Unmindful

of the

neighbor’s fate,

thinking only

of

self-enrichment.

FOREVER

I know that I can’t call you my own,
nor I can say a word to that effect,
but you permitted me
to have you in my possession;

I know that this is passing
and what we have now is not forever
but I must say it again, that you are
the person I will not stop from loving;

Saying I love you is not enough,
and time will tell, and events
will dictate, but I will still remain
even if our sailing is rough;
