this life?

edited February 2013 in Poetry, Prose, Music & Art
this life is not what it appears to be
the broken hearted, the disenchanted
collect by the roadside pouring over their broken dreams
while the electric sky falls upon it's unsuspecting victims
and reveals the skeletons from the past lives fogotten

empty houses lie in wait
souls searching for unobtainable things
and the cherry grove still blooms
it's children lay bestrewn and rotting
unharvested, unused and never consumed

ill timed plans go by the wayside
as one lays and cries for a simpler time
the other goes on about how simple things could be
but this life is not what it appears to be
this life, is but a an ill conceived dream
Peace, Love.
