Lonesome Cities 2

Post by carndo » Wed Feb 22, 2017 5:28 pm

echoes found
in that promise
where vestiges of time is known
celebrated beyond question
imagination
of lonesome cities
where strangers
hide in those shadows
afraid to live
dilemmas
of every day life
seen in images
immanent
in what really matters
that insight
needed
in this very day

Constellations

Post by carndo » Wed Feb 22, 2017 5:32 pm

constellations

upon those rising stars

where comets

run wild within the heavens

pulses heard

within the cosmos

yet in all the

universe

a single prayer

reveals

all that is

Calling Upon The Angels

Post by carndo » Wed Feb 22, 2017 5:33 pm

calling upon the angels

that smile within the lights

touching those that need

the light



piercing the darkness

that some hold

deep within



healing the pain

that wears down the soul



allowing one to smile

when they need it most



reaping those rewards

when one least expects it



and sharing it

with those that matter most



finding a safe place

within this world

when sometimes

it doesn't seem so

Trenches

Post by carndo » Wed Feb 22, 2017 5:35 pm

trenches

within the sand

where memories

rise and fall

within those images

created in imaginations

where some forget to listen

yet only speak

in frustrated tones

sheltered in visions

of their own making

What Mattered Once

Post by carndo » Wed Feb 22, 2017 5:36 pm

it's funny

when you look back at things

the worries that mattered once

are long past history



look to the future

and find your stride there



walk with those dreams

that you've wanted

for so very long



and make them happen



find those pleasures

that can make you smile



and let the past die

no point in letting old wounds bleed

Drifting Between Those Times

Post by carndo » Wed Feb 22, 2017 5:37 pm

drifting between those times

where memories

linger



like lazy clouds

floating in the sky



whose wifts

that somehow blow by

without one noticing



yet remind one

of days gone by



though now

it's somehow

past history

Memories Past

Post by carndo » Wed Feb 22, 2017 5:39 pm

memories past

and here I am

without a clue



those days in May

where the warmth of Spring

will eventually turn

into Summer



and somehow

something's missing



that smile

from a certain someone

that makes a day

worth living



a solitary note

from a song

that you know

from way back when



and yes...

I'm whistling that tune

to keep myself company

Finding That Truth

Post by carndo » Wed Feb 22, 2017 5:40 pm

finding that truth

without looking

somehow

finds it's place



and here you are

not seeing



can it be

that it's right in front view



and everyone can see it

but somehow

not you



I'm not trying

to be cruel

just telling the truth



maybe one day

you'll see it

until then

that truth

remains

true

Somewhere Down The Line

Post by carndo » Wed Feb 22, 2017 5:41 pm

those sometime

memories

felt honestly

within the shadows

where romance

once was

and the emptiness remains

across that October moment

but somehow I find a way

to remain relevant



don't ask me why

because the answer

isn't that simple



what we had changed

as we both did



and yet I won't hold a grudge

that isn't me



I'll just smile when we meet again

and let you find

the path you choose

somewhere down the line

Sometimes That's Just Life

Post by carndo » Wed Feb 22, 2017 5:43 pm

on edge

reason

unknown



I know that I just am



feeling nervous

but what

somehow

I can't pin it down



those silly fears

that override one's common sense



I keep waiting

for the other shoe

to fall



and somehow it doesn't



leaving me anxious

probably

over nothing



and sometimes

that's just life

Follow What's In Your Heart

Post by carndo » Wed Feb 22, 2017 5:58 pm

to touch that honor
that whispers
deep within

that simple code
which allows
the freedom
in the wind

it matters not
what others see

follow what's in your heart

and know
that it's needed

in which some depend

spirits sing
that simple truth
which whispers

Honor

Serenades

Post by carndo » Wed Feb 22, 2017 6:00 pm

serenades

found within midnight

touching in that rhythm of life



reaching

within private places

complete in the heart



and yet

somehow it seemed to matter

the most when parted



why?



because that lingering want

somehow

never let's loose

A Sense Of Humor

Post by carndo » Wed Feb 22, 2017 6:04 pm

I was asked the other night
would I remain single
the rest of my life

I thought about it
for abit
and then replied

I hadn't any offers lately
Why?
Are you offering?

I winked and smiled

yeah my sense of humor
is abit warped

but then without it
life would be awfully boring

gotta be
humorous
in this half baked,
crazy world
that we live in

Time Ripples

Post by carndo » Wed Feb 22, 2017 6:09 pm

time ripples

within those

collective moments

harboring

in that quiet

unseen

in that

contemplative

difference

those yesterdays remain

unchanged

yet

all is in plain sight

and in that

the days

continue

Solitude (2)

Post by carndo » Wed Feb 22, 2017 6:22 pm

here's another evening

of solitude

leaving myself

full of thoughts

that would ravage most souls

yet somehow

I find my own content

as I make my way through

life's paths

composing

my own

destination

will I ever find it?

yes...

though it may take abit

to finally get there
