After the Cup Has Run Dry

By David Ash

Optimism is a funny thing. For many, they swear by it, but for many others as well, it is proved to be wrong, through circumstances, which usually are outside of that person's control entirely. I'm not saying it's bad, no not at all, just not accurate at many times.
I will sum it up with this: if you've ever felt like your life has plunged into the darkness that is unsuccess, failure in any aspect of your life, regretting things you've done years before or you've failed to do, or suffered the loss of love, or have felt the sting of loneliness or rejection, these are the poems for you.

-Once-

Title: While The Light Still Lives

I have a notion to go for the win as dawn breaks, bathed in the purest of white light

The light I know will defeat a long and treacherous night

As for the coming problems I will rise through them and above

And I am certain they will be defeated by the purest form of love

There will always be time, with there being no delay

No one to speak that there will be no brighter day

There will always be time to find the right rhythm, or so I say

Ever an opportunity and it shall never be turned away

No regrets, nothing lost will be tomorrow and today

Everything accomplished with success in every way

It will be easy, there will be no fight

I'm sure love and positivity will always save the day

Everyone will always be around to share a laugh and drive the troubles away

I can't go wrong, I'll sing a happy song, and the rain will always fade away

There will always be plenty of hellos and no goodbyes

A place where merriment always reigns supreme, and through eternity I believe in death no one eternally lies

-Then-

Title: Twilight

As the sun sinks in the sky, I sit and stare amazed at a pale twilight

Maybe I was wrong, maybe there's no way to keep the light

Things that were kept in time have ceased to be right

In bitterness I have noticed the dusk turn to night

As I try to live it out I seem to have lost the key

To tame the beast that has recently now started following me

What I once could lead to success has now started to lead me only to dismay

I guess, there will be no success, at after all, making laughter stay

I turn around to my friend, that was with me in the light

He is now gone, I am forlorn, and it dawns on me that maybe things are not quite right

After the light has dimmed and the colors fade, they run and it's made clear

It's all falling down, light and love seems to have left me to
