Self Destruction

Sabotaging your dreams.

Doubting all your successes.

Failing to plan ahead.

Losing control of emotions.

Letting yourself be manipulated.

Toxic behaviour ignored.

Making bad decisions.

Wanting the final end.

Turning away from the light.

Jumping into the abyss.

Why, why, why?

Accepting failure as the norm.

Shadow Sun

Lifting into the air.

The solar system expands before us.

Driving the engines forward

As the machines turn the rods.

Crews stepping sideways

While the officers run the bridges.

Orders followed.

Or else the black hole leaves a gap

in our memories

where no one else survives.

Missing a friend

You see them

After a time apart.

It is so seamless

How you fall in to conversation.

Joy fills your heart.

Saying goodbye is bittersweet

Because you do not want to leave.

Yet you know the pleasure

You will receive

When the next time you visit them.

No Longer the Queen

The rule is over.

Reigning for a long time.

Yet, amidst the celebrations

No one looked at the ground

She trod upon.

She was just a woman

and now her time has come.

Fictional or real

Her impact will live on.

The game shows the work involved

In running a kingdom.

Now the game has ended

And I mourn my characters last breath.
