I wander through the evergreens
past stones no longer bearing names
the posy scent of faded blooms
now mingle with the falling rain.
My only company a crow
with beady eye and mourning clothes
aloud he cries into the squall,
this keeper of a thousand souls.
He leads me on to where you lay
in silent slumber all alone
in comfort now I pray you'll be
each stormy night and frosted morn.
The wind now moans its sweet lament
to bow the trees, their heads in shame
as tattered posies turn to dust
among these stones that bear no name.

did you notice the
glimmer in my eyes

you story-teller
and fake
says she knows
how to read my face

you must've seen
the way I wanted to
rip your skin apart

or did you take
it as
I love you with all my heart

you shallow
dull
simple-minded
girl

all you do is try to
guess someone's else
thoughts

have you sorted out
yourself

She Writes
Ink floods these pages
Words cause more harm than good
Opening up old wounds
decipher feelings misunderstood

Reminiscing lost love
Analyzing mistakes made
Drowning in past feelings
Remembering all who betrayed

Putting pen to paper
Is my way to cope
Anger, lust, sadness, anxiety
Depression; a slippery *****

I must continue to write
To tear down these walls
Work through my issues
Before death I befall
Oh, Young, you are the bright sun in the sky
All nature smile because of your love
You are the moonshine in the sky of the night
and the rain of the happiness in the desert!

Oh, Young, the flowers smell pretty for your touch
the beautiful lady feels you with a loving heart
Everyone is fascinated by your sweet voice
and the world is astonished at your youth
You are the happiness of your friends
and the fear to the enemies!

You are the cyclone and the waves of the ocean
You're the sunshine, there's no one to stop you
You're the lovely song of the bird in the dawn
and the punch on the chest of the evil!

Oh, Young, you're the dream of happiness to a lover
and the heart touching wind in the morning
You're the pleasure to a mom and smile to a sister
and you're so young that's why I love you!
BE
Your never ending story
Will continue to grow
With lyrics of your songs
For all the world to know

A storybook ending
To thy owns self
Is really never ending
If your just imagine yourself

Being lost in the moment
Captivating your truest story
Throwing out the doubt
Troubles will subside
Fears will pan out.....

This is YOUR story
For all to read
The never ending writing
For all to step into your life and see

Traveler
The shadows flashed
Blurry in the darkness
Spewing black matter
As the universe started
Time set forth
In linear strides
Fiery hot sparks
Bursting new life
Chunks of rocks
In spiraling patterns
Gravitational pulls
From Suns to Saturn's
And so our existence
Became one big pattern
