Love Blues

A lonely heart
Wandering in a park,
With nowhere to go –
And nowhere to stay.

Leaves autumn gold,
No warm hand to hold,
On-coming winter’s snow –
There’s no-where to pray.

Chill wind and rain,
Like ice on his brain,
And tears begin to grow –
As his love melts away.

Nightmare

Suddenly I began to
Fall… fall….fall…..falling……
Spinning…..crazily tossed
Like a discarded autumn leaf
Before a gush of wind…..
I was falling deeper…..deeper…..into a
Dark, gloomy, desolate void –
Falling…..falling…..tumbling, twisting,
Plunging…..deeper…..deeper…..deeper…..
Helpless…..helpless…..
