Love Turned Gray

 Silently I speak
Across the room
You know
Curiosity of thoughts
We’ve seemed to outgrow

 
Those delicate wings of butterflies
Of which we used to know
Rest quiet and calmly now
Amongst the afterglow
 
Angry words and painful hurts
Nothing new to know
The ancient remains entombed
As a friend or foe
 
What we found
 Is now lost
But so much more remains
In these times
Love still shines
When love has turned to gray

Go Back to Sleep

Dreams so vivid

You feel, they're real

Floating on an ocean

Obscured by the mist

 

Unable to move

A warm blanket covers you

The vastness sucks you in

As you surrender

 

~ Serenity ~

 

Life's Dance

The sun is my source

The wind breathing in life

The moon gives me solace

As the stars twinkle in the night

The tree’s provide shade

Their leaves rustling in the wind

Making music for my soul

Sheltering me while I mend

~ Serenity ~

How Were We To Know

How were we to know

Life would go so fast

How were we to know

You couldn’t forget my past

How were we to know

Our love wouldn’t last

It’s the one thing

That’s supposed to stay steadfast

I can’t ever remember enough

But some memories won’t leave

I try to pretend most days

But you’re not naïve

It doesn’t matter

How much I try to deceive

How were we to know

We couldn’t perceive

We used to be thick as thieves 

Please

Tell me 

How were we to know

~ Serenity ~
