One Drop Unwatched.
What is one little drop
An unnoticed inconvenience
Even if there were two
Three and four are not so different
To five and six
It's not until these drops come together
You take any risk
For as each drop condenses
They can hardly be thought of
As a simple drop
So now more than one
But less than a lot
They start to roll down
But of course this is still so simple
You would be forgiven for your ignorance
As it's not enough to be a problem
So you look away
And more drops fall
You don't notice until you look down
And see a puddle
Now that's a lot of drops
Where did they all come from?
Your mind may ponder
But while lost in this inquiry
There is a new threat
You didn't consider admiring
Now by the time you notice this odd water
It's no more a puddle
But more a pool
Quite a bit larger
And in such a short window
No time to wonder
You have to fix this soon
So you look for the solution
But by the time it arrives
That simple grouping of drops
Became more of a pond
You can't do this on your own
So you start asking around
But when you and some friend returned
It was more of a lake that you found
The water keeps rising
One drop at a time
Faster they come here and now
What do you do as the lake does rise?
Swallowing all you once called land
It's far too late now
To do something about this watery sound
For by the time you knew
What to do about the puddle
The ocean is what started to settle
No more can you keep running
It's the water now that gives you trouble
You can't say afloat
But don't want to quit
So you think as hard as you can
With all your wits
The solution was simple once
And now the waves move you first
Oh if only you had done right the first time
And stopped those simple little drops

Song Of Love
Do you hear it?
There is a soft something emanating
It's a gentle soliloquy
What is it saying?
We cant quite hear
It's a melody that draws us near
Closer we come to that sacred hymn
Entangled and entwined
Our souls dance to the rhythmic beating of our hearts
We flow in free fall ever listening
Until we touch for the first time
And a symphony performs on the stage of life
Our minds bind as our hands connect
We press close together as the music does increase
Our eyes meet and the fire of our passion echoes
The angels cry in envy
And the demons wail in jealousy
But we are lost in our eternal concert
No other sounds fall on our ears
For all we hear is the lullaby of our whispering spirits
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
Ah, I know it now
That's the Song of Love

Love Like A Garden.
Give me a good toss as you sow
A little time, light, and rain
Just watch me grow
Days, weeks, or months, and sometimes overnight
Just watch me grow
Be sure to care and water
Watch out for that crow!
Weed and mulch me
But be careful with that hoe
Don't worry
When I am ready I will let you know
If you don't pay attention or get too rough
I will stay pretty low
So put in the effort
Be cautious and careful
And I just won't go
With just a pinch of luck
And everything else too
You may just harvest more than you'd sow

You Are.
Alone.
All Alone.
Like a lonely rock in the middle of a quarry.
Alone.
A tree grown in a forest far away.
Alone.
One drop of water in the middle of the empty sea.
Alone.
One star in the night void.
Alone.
One cloud in the edgeless sky.
Alone.
Among so many, and yet.
Alone.
You were in a party all your own,
You could see so many yet still felt so.
Alone.
No number of moving bodies,
Smiling faces or laughing voices
Could make you any less.
Alone.
In a crowd full of people,
You were the only one there.
Alone.
All the deeds you do
Never viewed by anyone.
Alone.
Your thoughts go wild
And you voice grows hoarse
But you are still.
Alone.
Plead and shout,
Throw hands all about
No one is there you are.
Alone.
Cry and beg,
You pray to one
Who isn't there.
You are.
Alone.
The sun still rises
The tide still dances
And the wind still sings.
Trees grow,
There is rain and snow,
The world keeps on turning
And you are still.
Alone
People go on living.
Laughing and loving without you.
Babies born,
Children grow,
Adults live
And the elderly die
And none of them notice,
You are.
Alone
This prison you made
And you can try to blame,
But that just won't change the fact
That you are.
Alone.
It's the choice you made,
Refuse to trade the lie you laid
You find yourself.
Alone.
You push and break
And outright take
What isn't yours,
Yet question why .
You are.
Alone.
The struggle you face
The price you hate,
It's the direction you take
Which has now
Determined your fate.
You find yourself.
Alone.
You want to change
To be remade
But can't help yourself, but bade
And its not me
You always said.
Who are you trying to convince?
There was still hope before,
Away to cope,
But you wouldn't listen
And now your trapped.
It's an endless cycle
That you run in miles
Always trying to force everyone to smile
While they grit their teeth
And push down the bile the feel for you,
One so vile
And so you are.
Alone
Alone.
Alone.
Alone.
You are.
Alone.
You will forever remain.
Alone.
Alone.
Alone.
Unless you change your ways
You will always be.
Alone.

Time Never stops.
Tick Tock, the clock won't stop.
Tick Tock, there will come a knock.
Tick Tock, don't answer the call.
Tick Tock, another moment lost.
Tick Tock, watch another gone.
Tick Tock, the clock won't stop.
Tick Tock. Door's not locked.
Tick Tock. It swings wide.
Tick Tock. Feel someone inside.
Tick tock. Gotta run quick.
Tick Tock. No one's there.
Tick Tock. Door's not locked.
Tick Tock! Your time's near.
Tick Tock! It's getting dark.
Tick Tock! You're alone now.
Tick Tock! The echo coming
Tick Tock! No more running
Tick Tock! You're time's here.
