Waves of Time

[My first poem of 2010]
WAVES OF TIME
........................

Times change, I always knew
How people change with time,
is new.
Just yesterday what was
A lush green, rosy garden
Today is a barren,
Cracked piece of burden;

Holding the stars
In my arms
I closed my eyes in bliss,
A wave of heat
Blistered my palms
Shining hot sand
Is all there is.
Waves of time
Struck my face
Washing away
The glow, the grace.

What once personified
Who I was,
Now remains the spectre
The ghost..
Of my past.

So much to write
So much to think
An entire vast ocean
Of pain
To float and sink.
The season of love
Didn't live enough
To see itself blossoming.
No hope, no expectations
Dare to cross my path,
Perhaps are scared
Of the emptyness
The freezing walls of my heart.

Today let me tell you
Life isn't always true
And death matters nomore.
There is no other world
Heaven or hell
Once was in heaven
In hell now I dwell.

Oh yes with time everything changes..
even our soul she seems also to grow,old..
once it was all green and passionate..now its just a void and emptiness
nothing stays forever..the bliss i knew turned to bitter heat
so much to live of pain ,love never had so much chance to grow and blossom
always knew life ,all could be a lie for once a heaven now is like hell..
what lovely words and thoughts ..so glad you write again
really loved this one..
lovely write
