I lack inspiration. My creativity requires patience. I love nature. Quietly.
In the old house up the hills - Yes, the one that gives you chills Whenever you walk by its fence - Lives someone who, no offense, Looks like she'd puts kids on grill. Children, puppies, all she'd **** For food. Lady who, probably, likes to Know the places each kid hikes to. There she, later in the day, Waits for village kids to stray. Some will die and some live on. Who? That really depens on Her mood. Some say that she used to snitch, Others say that she's a witch! Nobody was ever in The house whose walls are made of skin. Nobody would ever dare To set their foot on the porch where She stood. They'll never know that her kitchen Smelled like flowers, most bewitchin', They won't see her paintings, neat, Her living room where you could meet A fire giving warm embrace. And alongside her fireplace The wood. Now, if you got in, you'd stare on stinky fish bowls, everywhere, whose cloudy water calls for changing, and rooms in need of rearranging. But since you never really tried, No one knows the lady died. Yes she's dead for good.

Prejudice
She's coughing blood So i boil some water Squeezed from the mud Used for slaughter Horrible cries Coming to my ears From where she lies The girl in tears What kind of power does a powerless flower have? The power of showing its music to the deaf. So mabye the wreaths, Made from the levanders, round Carry my breaths Back to her lungs in the ground

Sharp.
The sky was starry, but the stars didn't glow She was dressed in white, I couldn't see her in the snow I could smell the flowers, though they couldn't grow So i knew that she would show Up Sooner or later, on my left or my right I couldn't wait to see her, I would wait the whole night I started to freeze, but I put up the fight I had to see that woman, that woman in white If she was dragging me away, using her coat I wouldn't care, I'd close my eyes and float Till I'd see the dark lake and the big old boat Then we'd sail all the lakes, young and old Bur there I was, waiting, wasting my time, I tried singing songs for her, but they wouldn't rhyme No sounds, no footsteps, no other sign, Only me, loosing the hope of her becoming mine The wind remained quiet, it wouldn't blow The sun started rising, illuminated the snow The morning had arrived, my head hurt, so I opened my eyes and I had to go Home

The Woman in White
Go see the misty place, deep in the woods, That's where the willow tree's spreading her roots. Long gentle branches are modestly bowing, Above the shoot where a river is flowing. It's been like that for centuries now, The tree and the river, living in a vow. The branches are caressing the hair on the surface, The gesture, however, can't fulfill its purpouse. Although their bond is strong, love never ending, All alone, Willow and River are standing. They're guarding each other, and each other only. How come they, despite that, always feel lonely? Every night, the willow tree woefully shivers, Looking down upon her dark, lonesome river.
