New poem from new poem book "Ticking Clock"

When I go

I t all comes down to when I go

I hear my heart beat very slow

Some days I forget and I start to fret

Thinking that you’re coming home

Dinner isn’t done and oh, no my bed isn’t’ made

And then I get a feeling

It isn’t very appealing

My bones start to ache

And I feel my heart break

I’ll tell you something

It’s been a blast

My life went by so fast

Most days I don’t remember

Faces, distant places, memories of long ago

In mostly my dreams I feel young

I’m with you and you’re with me

Our hearts beating wildly

I know even though we’re apart

I can tell you we’re still hand in hand

And heart to heart, loving each other

Almost back to the start

In a glimpse I can see

 The toil and tragedy

The love and pain

Of the life I lived so pleasantly

It was a gift, not a moment wasted

I’m gratefully exhausted

I seek comfort in my bed

The warms sheets around my aching feet

The comforter surrounds me

And I shape the pillow in the form of you

I forget my train of thought

I know I was in love

It seems like a dream

A dream so long ago

I’ll tell you something

It’s been a blast

My life went by so fast

Most days I don’t remember

Faces, distant places memories of long ago

Falling Deeper

Falling Deeper

The wind is blowing

The trees are moving

I feel myself falling, deeper into a deep dark hole

Deeper and deeper I go

Is there any end?

Where does the road stop?

The storm is coming

I feel my soul flying and home is so far away

I feel myself falling deeper into a deep dark hole

Deeper and deeper I go

I hear a voice calling my name

He’s calling to me, but it’s drifted out by everyday life

As the night falls my soul fly’s above and beyond the skies

Deeper and deeper as everything else drift’s into oblivion

Life used to be a high, a roller coaster ride,

An endless journey to a place unknown

But soon the road got cold and the wind blew hard

 And It made my heart stone cold

I hear the chimes ringing, the storm is coming

I feel my soul flying

I hear my voice shaking and home is so far away

I feel myself falling deeper into a deep dark hole

Deeper and deeper I go

Chasing Time

I'm running all day
I'm chasing time
Trying not to lose my mind
Finding out truth
Stepping into the light

Hand on the trigger
Facing my fears
My ravenous soul
Searching for answers
That I may never find

I'm constantly moving
Movement keeps me going
Trying not to think of all the impossibilities
Rather embracing all that I can
Each tick-tock remings me
The sand in the hour glass is slipping away

Finding out truth
Stepping into the light
My paitence inside me
Is like a burning fire
Slowing down will only make me stagger
I'm chasing time
Finding out truth
Stepping into the light
