Wine dreams

Solitary thoughtfulness,

Nursing my Chardonnay,

Reconciling eloquence,

Rebirth upon this day,

I’ve left a long road behind me,

Wistful memories plague my mind,

An eternity for me once more to see,

My soul again to find,

I’ve been to many places,

And searched there high and low,

My brain is filled by all those distant faces,

Yet there was no peace for me to know,

To yearn to fill that emptiness,

By artificial means,

I pined and craved some pleasantness,

By all those who kindly seemed,

To squander my precious time,

With whom it doesn’t matter

I gave them all that was mine,

Resigning to their flatter,

To the one gave I all my love,

No need to ask for more,

YOU, my angel from above,

But nothing but ghastly war,

Twas human touch I longed for,

And tenderness to share,

But a broken heart had no cure,

That life I couldn’t bare,

For my castle in the sky,

Was what I had sought,

My love, I would die,

For that which I had fought,

Though I went that extra mile,

To the brink of disaster,

Some struggles are futile,

I need again be my master,

With a heavy heart left I,

The focus of my dreams,

And I still question why,

Nothing is the way it seems,

A stranger am I to self,

Shall we get acquainted?

Inside hungers a great wealth,

To escape and be elated,

That void inside pains me still,

How could I love once more?

Tis not an easy climb up that hill,

And find again that which to adore,

For all those who’s hearts imbue,

Benign with generosity,

Let not those scoundrels dissuade you,

With their animosity,

Love and live as though it were you last day,

Find that secret treasure,

Fate brings what may,

Tis my guilty pleasure
