Restless mind

A perfect childhood, like flowers in bloom.
The ideal parents all synced in tune.
Yet the heart wanders to find, 
the first signs of a restless mind.

The craziness of young hearts.
Always so mercurial, always on the start.
Even in motion and entwined,
Was just a restless restless mind.

The touch of first love.
The world so different, all powder and puff.
Entrenched in that strong bind, was still a wandering restless mind.

The little fingers of hope. 
The depth of emotions they evoked.
Bringing them up all fine, is just a crazy restless mind.

The beauty and joy of being alive. 
The day to day rut in which we all thrive. 
All of life seems just so bright and yet in a corner lies an edgy restless mind.

As and when the end draws near. 
The aches and pains, the dying fear.
Will that finally break and blind? The wandering of a restless mind.

Laments of the Unbidden

The mind that's not still
A heart always racing
Thoughts meandering through a valley
fall colors thru it raging
A sea of unhindered emotions 
crashing at a rock wall 
Is the impact enough to crush it all?
How much can you give up 
for the freedom to be you? 
How much would be needed 
before you are through?
Does it always have to be this or that?
Can't I have it all? 
Maybe it's just me, does that make me bad?
No Rolling drums can be heard
but you listen to laments of the unbidden.
