Lady Bird Jan 2018
ankles bound in silk
once walked with fierce
now in an endless chase
grasping midnights anguish
along the edge of darkness
the deep illusions escapes
waiting to unravel the soul
the ears perk up listening
to the spoken whispers
held down and under
steel bars around the heart
broken in conjunction of
never fulfilled promises
Lady Bird Jan 2018
tick--tock-- strikes the clock
in circles two hands flow
counting seconds to minutes
then minutes to hours yet
moving just so very slow
with every minute that tick-on by
the more "tocks" we think we have
the less time we actually do
no matter how hard we try
there is just no way we can
slow or speed it up the clock
it still will tick and tock
quickly tocking and slowly ticking
both fast and slow never stopping
time seems to continue
and yet forever flows
we lose a little and gain alot
tick...tock...tick...tock...
on and on times goes

EMPTY...
yet there to unleash our unspoken thoughts
catching them before they vanish and disappear
yet will always listen absorbing words from our soul
that may want to escape our frightened, shy or silenced lips
yet unclogs and un-twist confusion from our mind
with help from the "Ink Pen" one of its many handy side-kicks
yet has the power to preserve almost forgotten memories,
stories from our past and knowledge we pass down through the ink
yet waiting for our writing hand to choose a weapon of choice
the ink wants its turn to touch the white paper; our battle field is ready !
blank wide range of free space; the pen taps breaking silence
there isn't much we can do now but pour our words into the pages...

....Empty Pages No More ....

a gust of beauty passes
over each swaying branch
of its strong rooted trunk
listening as the whistling
wind caresses the many years
of their true friendship together

Do You See What I See?

hidden within the shadows camouflaged
behind lines of jungle vines slithering
slowly and silently waiting trying not to be
seen with eyes piercing determination
a black serpent ready to pounce on its prey

Lady Bird Jan 2018
sadness clawing behind
stained glass windows
emotionally packed faults
with the possibility of rain
an endlessly heart beat
not yet to cry  but still
feels the leaking pain
swallowing the soul’s core
laced with betrayal marks
dug so deep within the
inhaled shattered blame
barley serving sorrow's blade
leaving empty holes full of
nothing but trapped tears
