Wildflowers weep
along lonely garden paths
Nectar filled tears
shed on frail petal ridges
run in muted colors
~
Daylight cloaked
behind clouded veils
Darkly hidden as
grey cotton whispers
cry on listless breezes
~
Butterflies sleep
in empty shadows
neath leafless branches
while worried sorrow
stills their fragile wings
~
And this hollow heart
within my breathless chest
lingers in hushed wishes
and silent pleas
*missing you

I understand you don't want me to go That's fine.
But I can't watch you dig through your car
For money for tonight's numbing.
You can't call me names
And still call me your daughter
And just because you offer me a cold one
Doesn't mean I'm playing your game.
I tried to give you a chance to prove
That your words were worth an ounce of truth
You may have been sober for months
But it's been two weeks of slurred speech
And several days of you
Not leaving that door
For anything more than a bottle.
Why the **** would I want to stay?
You keep saying that
No one here will hurt me
Too late dad, you've made your mark
In the form of six packs and cruel words.
I was better off without you for 10 years.
You have never been daddy.
This is not a poem at all. I'm just upset and can't find pretty ways to say why

O’ thee, my precious shimmer’d feather
O’er loves sweet glow thou sketch my smile
Doth bring a’ breath, euphoric weather
Come lay with me a midday while

Yon field a’ bloom o’er windswept dream
‘pon wings of bluest azure skies
A’ rest these banks long trickling stream
Whilst find my gaze ‘pon cascade eyes

Thou art my spring, pure woven bliss
Lest not a day forth bid we fare
That I’ve not felt thy petal’d kiss
O’ scent’d touch neath moonlit glare

For I, of lonesome nightscape sleep
Doth find thy beauty, savor’d charms
A’ shine ‘pon me O’ feelings seep
Star shower’d dream within my arms

Lo hallow’d ground o’er whisper’d breeze
Neath flowing chinaberry vine
As witness’d, firefly ‘dorned trees
*O’ thee forev’r to be mine
"Take thy rest M'lady of Exquisite Bloom, til coming dawn finds once more"

Translation; Good Night Beautiful
we spent a night on shores,
sand running through shell,
you touched me soft gently
green waves rolling out and
in the night we talked evers
to now of always soon come
deep, longs until slow, tears
fell in drops from break sky,
it seemed all time was new
and white birds flying over,
how they sailed with moon
smiling as truth smiling out
beyond a light sea of night,
our love then forever young
and curtains lifted the stars,
fell waysides into the dawn,
our faces golden in the sun.

Sweetest temptation
One I adore
Angel from heaven
I love you more

Skin soft as satin
Eyes like a gem
Lips sweet like candy
Kiss me again

A heart that is caring
A soul that will fill
Laughter for sharing
Warmth from the chill

Beautiful mornings
Magical nights
Springtime in winter
Every delight

Shooting stars shimmer
When you’re with me
Waves sing harmonic
Out on the sea

Leaves change their colors
Snow on the ground
Loving each other
No ones around

Now until ever
Far past the end
My love keeps growing
To you I send

Fantasies fashion
From up above
Forever my darling
You I will love
Good morning Beautiful
