Sad Poems

Her love is waning
Her tears are staining
Her pain is like darkness
She's alone in the abyss
Nothing more is the way
As back that bright day
When love was abounding
And the word of truth was sounding
--------------------------------------------------------
AND THEN
Have you ever had a dream
And then have it crushed?
Have you ever smiled at someone
And then have it mushed?

Have you ever wanted something
And worked for really nothing?
Have you ever pleaded guilty
And wrongly convicted at the ring?

Have you ever wondered
And then been told your wrong?
Have you ever loved
And then realized it was nothing all along?
--------------------------------------------------------
Too many words
   Too little meaning
Too many songs
   With no one singing
Too many lies
   Too little trust
Too much knowledge
   We all lust
Too much said
    Too little spoken
Too much tears
   With many lives broken
Too much much
   Too little simple
Too much known
   No more of a dimple
--------------------------------------------------------

Other Poems

Can we not alas! be strong?
Can we not tarry with the birds song?
Can we not alone be one?
Can we not such evil shun?
Alas can we or not! it must be done!
