Best Thing

To believe or deny,

enlightenment dares

Our lack of acceptance,

a three-legged chair

 

We feel it and breathe it,

and live it de jure

As minds are left gasping

at something so pure

 

At this very point

rejection sets in

Our spirit’s attacked,

the reasoning thin

 

Millennium’s secrets

will come and will go

But what can’t be explained

—the best thing to know

Love’s Regret

It’s hard to say goodbye

when you know the time is dwindling

 

In the moments you have left,

what was given, taken back

 

It’s hard to say goodbye

when the words are lost and foreign

 

Those looks you get with time beset

—in everlasting sorrow
