Echoes of Life

Author: The Golden Tears

Welcome to my blog, thank you for visiting. The Golden Tears, is an expression of my views and the world that surrounds me.

Haiku Starkness

spring is in the air

toads croaking

now the bees

have woken up

setting sun

pink hillside

showing through

my grey hair

bamboo shoots

A Chance for Romance

a name on a card

as we danced

a feeling of wanting

kept us close

our hearts beat

to the applause

perpetuate love

perpetuate love

we are all dreamers

waiting for someone

to be with us

Is love a paradox?

Love is a paradox

when ones feelings

are not of your own

but a fabrication

of society

this reality

is a manifestation of being

a recreation of essence

a parting of the way

the substance of which

echoes through

beyond all borders

the paths which we follow

to find love

City

the past remains

to preserve the present

their armies rest

while we toil

because if the outcome reversed

then we would be the ones

marching to our death

and they would be the ones

to meet us

The Island of the Dead

one final destination

an Island

only the dead know the way

but the living wish to visit

so that they can see

the final resting place

of their ancestors

and pay respect

but when they set sail

they found they could not return

because they too

had already paid their debt

Ruined Temple

Here once stood a temple

the columns are all that remain

of an idea

that changes

the more people see it

and when they invade your dreams

to control your future

all you can see

is the ruins

of your past

In the sky

they came

to consume each other

and their form took shape

to reveal their true intentions

turning to face me

had fear not been my ally

their gaze

would have consumed me

Lizard

when they move

through the scorching sun

to catch a prey

that cannot see them

because they make no noise

and cast no shadow

Moth

the less you see

the more you have

the light that attracts

is the one they search for

they consume the best

leaving the rest

to rot
