Cruel Intensions
by Robin Spiteri.
Staring at the sunset, that crimson disc of pain
I take it in and wonder, whatever have I gained?
my spoken words recorded, my actions right or wrong,
all but fleeting moments passing, lost amongst the throngs.
Will I be remembered, recalled in later years?
Will cruel fate compel me to shed so many tears?
bitter, fearful, lonely, condemned like all the rest
nature's cruel intension beats hard within my chest.
The details of the future are shrouded in the mist
like the early morning's ocean compelled by sunshine's kiss,
It comes and goes regardless, mankind does not exist,
doomed, forever dying, we linger only like a kiss.

Very poignantly told!

One little nit: typo in title, should be spelled "Intentions."

It seems you have found the words I couldn't find! Very creative!

Have you ever known the color grey when the nighttime finds you weak
I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps

Whoops..an s instead of a t.(How embarassing)
Thanks for the tip.

Does anyone know how to change a post so that it links up with the rest of your stuff(I never checked that option box when I originally posted)

I'm afraid I don't understand your question. Can you be more specific?

I really liked this especially the last two lines :

It comes and goes regardless, mankind does not exist,
doomed, forever dying, we linger only like a kiss.

magnificent!!!
