A bare house in the middle of nowhere Came many acquaintances, tired yet merry They'd come in the spring and summer And leave when they were no longer shy and weary He was the only one who returned during a terrible storm Through the windows ,you could see the snow fall He started a fire to keep us warm I told him how I felt like a puppet,he called me a doll I grew fond of the storyteller and his stories He made me feel like I should sprout wings and fly He was entertained by my many queries I thought he saw more in me than what meets the eye One day he quietly walked out the door Through the window you could see the storm clear I looked at his footprints in the damp snow And told myself that they would soon disappear

Footprints
Words spoken I hear them echo Not even a worthy sound Ceilings that are broken And everything that follows Seem overwhelming to someone underground Bit by bit my heart sinks Into uneasy hollow despair Second after second the clock ticks And I am yet again left standing nowhere The shattered ground The blazing sky And voices scream aloud It bites and gnaws And tears apart my very core Revealing nothing but my flaws A shattered mirror place before What seems like mistaken light An unclear image takes its form Making a whisper of my roar

Roar
Clear beginnings floating in blue Lurking into the deeper tint of a winter hue Tears have been wiped,the sky so had wept A playful, paler less devastating playmate in had crept Into the clear blue and slowly away The sun rose and made it brighter a day All the wings have flown,all the birds are up Awaiting their next slumber in no less than a plentiful chirrup Although everything is well seen ,some remain quietly hidden The fear of the bitter cold pouncing up in all of a sudden Enticing ,entangling everything in extreme rage Remain unknown behind the mellow awakening of a summer visage

A summer visage
I clear and collect the rubble That crumbled castles have left behind Dreams that are seen amid sunshine Go frightfully cold in the still night Hurting my presence,dreading my absence My blanket shields me from the cold stares My pillow lays my fears to rest And in the dark,I start my quest
