Traces of the past...

Traces of the past

Traces which I had left behind,

Illuminate this past of mine,

The one with sadness, sorrow and grief drawn in a line,

Mixed together forming the solution of life,

That denies the forfeit of life,

But tells to live and rise,

Like the mushrooms after the cruel rain,

I grow stronger after some pain,

It proves that easy and hard times are together lain,

To realise the ambitious dream,

That flows serenely into the future stream,

Kissing the past goodbye where the light of hope dims,

Welcoming a new life which shines,

In a world of secrets that are bound by the mind,

And erasing the traces I once left behind.

The Little Girl's Tears...

The little girl’s tears

The freezing air wisping past me,
The glassy mirror judges me
My dark eyes search for imperfection
What do you see in my reflection?
Don’t you know the one mistake that defines you?
One wrong step and it will break you
How I wish I could run and not be weary
Live my teenage life and not worry.
Stars in the water shine distant and late
Watching them ripple as I listen and wait
Waiting for trust and affection
To see another beside my own reflection.
The little girl cries now
But the misery is very much temporary
I’ll awake tomorrow
And feel a lot less sorry.
Tears elucidate my emotions
But my sweetest smiles will surface
Between the mirrors I see no limitation
Someday you’ll see my true reflection.
