Poetry: A couple of examples

From time to time, I write what I loosely consider 'poetry'. Some I think is pretty good, some I know is pretty bad (I'll keep to myself which is which). I'll share some of it here every once in a while and see what you think. Feel free to let me know...

Wistful Cynicism

come and sing a song with me,
one of joy and laughter,
one of pain and weeping,
and of all that may come after.

come, tell me a story
of how it all began,
and fill my mind with wonder
at the miracle of Man.

come and let's explore
the mysteries of life,
the Questions of the Ages,
and the deepness of the night.

come, let's find the meaning,
or some underlying reason
for us to keep on keepin' on,
and for us to keep believin'.

come, let's not and say we did,
and fool ourselves some more
let's imagine that we can dream
and can hope for something more.

Lost

peace is something strange to me
a thing I'll never find.
so I wander this world aimlessly,
and slowly lose my mind.

truth is something dear to me
but all they do is lie.
and always when I do believe
in the end I always cry.
