To you, the ground beneath my feet
Every step I take,
you support me.

You stand with me,
in my times of trouble

I am warmed by your embrace,
as I become entranced in your outfit of lace.

Nothing could be more finely crafted,
than my connection with you.

The ages may wear on you,
yet you remain the only one
my sole longs for.

For you truly are...
My favorite pair of shoes.

I remember that girl
Her short blonde hair
Pudgy, round face
Big blue eyes, sparkling with curiosity

She was fierce
Outspoken
Fun-loving
Didn’t have a care in the world
I wonder...
Where did she go?

I have writer's block
Or is it poets block?
But, whatever
I know I have it
Because,
When words usually flow out of my fingers with ease,
I find that the words have evaporated
Like a dish of water
Disappearing into thin air
I don’t know where they went
Maybe they’re just tired
Of me using them up
But I can’t get the words out
I don’t know how to describe
What I am seeing
Feeling
Nope.
Nothing,
Nothing at all.
I have nothing to write.
Oh.
Wait a second...

I write
I write the truth
I write what I feel
And what I don't

I write
I write about me
I write about you
Letters of truth

I write
I write my love
I write my pain
And everything in between

My writing is the closest you'll ever get to the real me

I am swimming in a sea of ink
During a total eclipse
The world is black
And I blend into the background
Like a chameleon at midnight
Engulfed in in the shadows of others
No stars are blinking
No moon is shining
No light coming through the clouds
And I can’t even see my hands
When I hold them right in front of my face
The ink turns into rock
The air disappears
I can’t breathe
I can’t speak
I can’t see
All I can do
Is remind myself of all the mistakes that led me to this moment of darkness
And mourn the loss of light
When the darkness takes over
And I am lying in a puddle of my own tears
I don’t think
I don’t do
I just lie there
In the abyss I call my mind

Warm colors
Pink, orange
Red, yellow
Light up the dimming sky

A giant ball of fire
Descending down,
Down,
And down

Darkness falls over the world
The moon peeks
Over the mountain tops
Slowly ascending into the sky

Stars blink
Lighting the way
Through the darkness
Of our world

That is our life
The cycle of the Earth
We rarely recognize it
But that is what it deserves

Night
Day
Today
Tomorrow

We don’t know what is coming
But we can count on the sun
To be there when we wake
And the moon when we drift off to sleep
