American I just love to write! Poems, stories. My biggest inspirations of course have to be Robert Frost and Edgar Allen Poe. But don't get me wrong, there is not a Shel Silverstein poem or story in existence that I haven't read! I'm just a girl going through the motions of life as a closet poet. / / My strength and will ~ Psalms 56:3
She dug me up, amid the ground, She dust me off with her soft graze. Her hands were stained chestnut brown, Her golden eyes were set ablaze. She brought the sun into my life, And brushed the gravel from my lips. Away with the dirt went the strife And with the sun, came loving bliss. Together we grew, sprouting blooms. Roses of such sweet love and care, We filled the air with sweet perfumes And added color to the air. Now tell me what is the reason, That we should too, End with the season?

Unearth in the Spring
A haze of smoke Blurs the picture Lipstick stains the Cigarette that flickers Red painted nails Tap the frozen rails Champagne bottle, Dating back to Versailles Blacked out eyes, matching skin Bruise alike **** it with a shot of gin Little white flowers Shot with a polaroid Symbolize my paranoia Pastel colors litter my eyes Watching the rain fall As time flies by Twinkling Lights of the city skyline Closed eyes, sip of wine Hot coffee, big sweaters Take a sip, enjoy the weather Old book Faded maps And worn out ball caps Gold jewelry flashed about Parties thrown in nthe underground Now I begin, haven't you heard? Aesthetic is in, what a beautiful word.

Aesthetic
******* sawdust Whiskey and rust This is the life This is cloud nine This used to be a simple alibi But now it's just a damaged lullaby It's hard to kiss Skin that crawls But in the dark The weakness falls Unasked questions They do rebound Silent screaming Rings all around This used to be a simple alibi But now it's just a damaged lullaby Tattoos, perfume Gasoline fumes Nursing this poison cringing, no end Dysfunctional love is what we make just one more hit It'll be the last I take This is the life This is cloud nine

But isn't it quite peculiar that we all need some insanity for clarity? So just your healthy dose of insanity here Just your healthy dose, do not fear I am only here for the time being, just a visit then I'll be in my way To ruin or build, you decide. But in me you can confide all your secrets and desires and together we can conspire So remember your healthy dose of insanity folks For it might just save humanity.

Just your healthy dose

Faux Requiem
I've got baggage that's too much a burden to carry, I've only got two hands, You call me weak, but it's quite the contrary. I've be strong for too long, been trying to hold on, but fingers are slipping and I keep tripping up, up where I look , crying out for some help. Don't you hear me screaming? help. My closet is full of the skeletons I wish to bury, but no shovel can dig deep enough, I'm in too much of a hurry to be free, free of this weight, free of the pain, but hey, no pain no gain, that's what I'm told. On this theory I'm sold, that time heals the wounded, but it's been years and years and I still don't see the good in it. Carry on, is what I do but I still wish that I could just break through this madness, this insanity. Looking for some clarity to see my way through this, man why do I gotta go through this, I don't know how to do this, alone. All by myself, I walk through this, aint nothing to this. But I swear, I can close my eyes and see the way it used to be before my baggage got the best of me.

Baggage
My hope is leaning My blood runs cold Darkness from secrets yet untold The words stop flowing As my pen stills Waiting for silence as it fills The dripping rubies Stain many walls As screams of terror fill the halls Silence is filling They want no more Bind my hands, i shall write no more

Dear Lord, i say aloud this prayer In hopes that you will save me from dispair Give me light to lead the way Love me for me, day after day Give me strength to rise above the rest With you by my side, i know i am blessed From dark to light, and day to night I pray your path will stay in sight Birthday wishes and shining stars Never get me really far Its the praying and hoping every night That helps me get through the never ending fight With all that i am, i know you are my all With your hand in mine, i know i wont fall Keep my heart, my mind, and my eyes wide open So i never cease to worship you. Amen

La prière d'un homme mort
Lies lies everywhere, when you open your mouth, I can taste in them in the air. These words you spit are not loving, you think they're harmless, but you know nothing. With every word that escapes your lips, I watch the world to get a grip, on reality, for what you perceive as normality is nothing but a world set up on infrastructure that just doesn't add up... Instability, unpredictability.. Your lies are just infecting the lives of the respecting innocent. So watch what you say, for it will all come back one day.
