Golden Horizons

Butterflies lit on horizons,
Filled with golden laughter.
Reflected in eyes, are dreams,
Long since put away.

Your childishly charmed fun,
Overthrown by the weight
Of society's burdens,
Your left remembering.

Sprinkled into the wind,
Your giggles and play.
Replaced by the truth,
Of tears and fears.

Confused and conquered,
Your child left inside,
Is put to sleep.
And remains only shown,

When your eyes light up,
And your lips part,
It escapes.
Bursting free,

In your smile.

To Relive is to Regret

give me my candy apples
and tasty sweets,
carnivals, fairs,
salt water taffy treats,

a taste of youth
for a bitter grey,
mind so innocent,
and luster each day,

bring back my summer evenings,
of times to remember,
first kisses, near misses,
a taste of which to savor,

alas, a wish i would procure,
just one last day,
for me to play,
a dream i shall enjoy for sure.

my potw theme decision
shall be on: confusion

Fantasies

As a child
Running wild
Between the trees
Through the fall leaves

In winter and snow
The children go
With eager smiles
To winter land isles

When spring is near
Children’s ear
Listen to the sound
Of joy they found

In summer time
The green chime
Make children laugh
On grownups behalf

Remember the times
When the music and rhymes
In childhoods’ dreams
Where it all seems

Life has no end


My suggestion for next theme: forsaken

[Ai]

Innocent

Born innocent as the face of a flower,
Or so we lead ourselves to believe.
But the truth that we as people have to face,
Are any of us born innocent anymore?

[Isis]

Frame

Smile, no pain
Simply watching a new life
Begin its uncertain path.

Touching tiny hands
God's gift.
Heaven on earth.

A story in its own
Remaining unwritten.
A tale continuing to be told.

I am but a memory
Too young to behold
But caught...in time.

A picture holds a thousand words.
Life's memories
Frozen in moments.

[SoundWave]

Games, friends, sports and cars
Dreams about being rockstars

Being young and naive
Playing life away
Not knowing life is playing you each day

Every step is pure
Not knowing where the truth lure
