Leave the best of man.
The future has little time.
No one to browse our writing.
Only to select and praise few rhymes.
Your life feels very short
but even shorter when you are dead
and being remembered
by those who never knew you.
So capture the best
in your home, your art and love.
Anything less will be forgotten
and your work will [...]<hr /><small>Copyright &#169; 2008 Braden Stephens. This feed is for personal, non-commercial use only. <br /> The use of this feed on other websites breaches copyright.

I told you I was quiet and shy
You believed me
My pie in the sky
You said some things don&#8217;t matter
Living your life is sometimes&#8230;
And other times sadder
Where can this happen?
My love, a you, and gone the latter
Stars explode to shed this light
And the shadows make your eyes so deep
I lose my thought and [...]<hr /><small>Copyright &#169; 2008 Braden Stephens. This feed is for personal, non-commercial use only. <br /> The use of this feed on other websites breaches copyright.

I thought I lost you
I turned, you were gone.
Up and down aisle nine
I never saw the sign.
Then I saw you standing in line
&#8230;dropping the cantaloupe
&#8230;looking at him
I went searching for a bottle of wine.
You said he was a friend.
I&#8217;m sure he was.
Taking advantage
Always winning your serve.
Never a love
always keeping your nerve.
A super intellect?
I&#8217;ll ask [...]<hr /><small>Copyright &#169; 2008 Braden Stephens. This feed is for personal, non-commercial use only. <br /> The use of this feed on other websites breaches copyright.

I&#8217;m an artist walking on a limb
Saying what I feel
Doing what I say
Knowing the next moment will be the best.
I anticipate what you will say
Change it.  Colour it.  And make it my own
Then give it back to you before you say it
I&#8217;m an artist
Don&#8217;t think you know what I&#8217;m doing

		<description><![CDATA[My portfolio

Of dreams

Whistling

Scattered about

Like leaves from a tree

Shriveled and light

Blown against a fence

Gathering up

An army of leaves

Ready to explode

When a gate is opened

		<description><![CDATA[<h2>Life Past</h2>
To the light of the setting fall.
Winter comes to cover us all.

Is this fair? Nature's wrath?
Love and hate take the same path.

Disease and pain discovered too late.
Who can tell their bittersweet fate.

Snowflakes fall, memories covered.
Thoughts so still and closely hovered.

Visions of the end all so clear.
Wondering if the past is something to fear.
