Heart Song

my heart sings of joy and gladness
filling the spaces between confessions

my heart sings of brevity and happiness
barely heard amid the telling recession

my heart sings through the smoke
of ridiculous dreams and cracked fears

and between the defeaning ascension stoked
lies tales of a burdened heart in tears

Someone, Somewhere

underneath the smoke and the sky
somewhere along a lonely road

between the curbs not yet dry
someone felt that it will forbode

failure amid the mob of successes
sadness amongst the ruins of happiness

somewhere among towers of wickedness
someone surrenders to the madness
