 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Never Own


Dawn came early today
there were no clouds in the sky
and sunbeams danced freely through the tree tops
chasing away the shadows that had haunted me through the night
and my demons having nowhere left to hide…
vanished…
I wanted today to be a good day, a nice day…a happy day
a day full of rainbows and sunshine
of true love and sweet wine…
a day when the sunbeams would come into my life
into my heart
into my soul…
giving me light that will not vanish when night-time approaches
and when my demons come out from hiding…
to taunt me of all that I have known
all that I have grown…
and for this life… I will never own.
