DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSE

Such was the universe divided,

the gods took eternity

all we got was now;

The heartbreak of love lost,

The joy of sunsets shared,

The pain of child birth,

Raptures of happiness from a baby’s smile.

How short our lives are,

Yet so much to remember.

A kaleidoscope of emotions,

The sensations of feeling.

Knowing we might not be tomorrow,

The roses smelt so much sweeter;

Little things lost in the expanse of time,

But exaggerated in the face of mortality

Perhaps forever was a bad deal,

I think maybe the gods envy me.

MYSTERY OF SIGHT

 

I met a man named Niwrad,

whom exceptional intelligence was bestowed,

when on a royal Beagle he rode.

He said yesterday I crawled out the sea,

I of single mass doubled it and walked on four.

My disposition growing weary,

I stood on two and abandoned my fur coat.

Jolly good Mr. Niwrad,

What about my saline globes,

Please sir, tell me the story of my sight.

MY FRIEND GRIM

Have you met my friend Grim?

He is the tall solemn fellow,

The one dressed in black,

The one who never smiles,

Always looking at his watch.

He follows me everywhere,

He says one day he will take me,

To a far and distant world,

If I am good I will like it,

If I am bad I will hate it.

Ah, my friend Grim,

He is always in a hurry,

He says he is just a messenger

He keeps asking if I am ready.

I say not today Mr. Reaper,

Today I am still busy,

I am still busy with living.
