He found himself standing on a bridge

Not quite sure of just how he got here

Something on the map must have changed

Perchance, its markings weren’t so clear

Shadows falling, as the sun begins to set

The azure sky, was fading, much to his dismay

Perhaps, he took a wrong turn somewhere

Or maybe he was meant to find this way

Trying to soak in the last of the warmth

Taking a deep breath, from up there, high

Thinking, for once, he’s on top of the world

He threw the map, over the edge, and sighed

Dressed in dazzling uniforms, they march in perfect formation

Watch, as they begin the dance, creating an incredible sensation

Wooden Soldiers have come to life, can you imagine the surprise

Of little children, staring in awe, oh! The wonder in their eyes!!

Truth Sucks ~ #poetry #DecemberWriting

She tortured him, with her cruel intent

He never realized what it all had meant

Down on bended knee, he proposed they unite

Her words, echoed still, “no, it wouldn’t be right”

“To marry a man, I have no feelings for”

All he remembered, as she walked out the door

Love was the one thing she couldn’t return

Tears filled his eyes, slowly making them burn

He couldn’t believe it, thought all was in jest

But the truth sucked the life right out of his chest

This holiday season, as we all gather near

Caroling tunes that bring us good cheer

Remember to sing, off key, when you do

Your relatives leave sooner, thanks to you
