The Tempest Lullaby

This is a war
Of crowds drunk
With their fists pounding in the air
One ominous heartbeat
As they turn their ears away
From deafening music
Of undiscriminating souls
They turn it to the real music
And turn it to rock and roll

The Tempest Lullaby

Sweet Dreams

To all the little girls and all the little boys about to say good night
I bid thee sweet dreams and have a safe flight

That on this starry evening wherever the oceans of the universe flow
That you hold tight onto the unicorn reigns then just let yourself go

That you let yourself run free like an animal, run wild!
Let yourself BE free. be creative. explore. be a child.

For when you wake up this moment shall be gone
And your days as a child will merely be once upon.

The Tempest Lullaby

2:21 a.m.

My mind is loudest
When The world is quiet
So I cannot sleep

So I dream out loud
A dream of me dreaming, of
Me falling sleep

In Me You Saw

I was a broken toy
with uses finished
food long gone bad
a ticket long past date
but you picked me up
and saw not garbage

In me you saw brand new
Happiness
In me you saw comfort
after a horrid day at school
In me you saw silence
after screams and shouts of anger
In me you saw laughter
like a milk mustache or children in snow

In me.... you saw sadness
Sadness you spend your life trying to escape
Sadness you hate
you loathed
but still, sadness you let in

In me you saw madness
it was madness I saw in me too
but still you loved me

So in you, oh divine, you
I see purpose
and it's all I've ever needed.

I dont deserve your forgiveness but you gave it to me still.

Paint

You saw me
Saw me break my fingers
and petrify the pieces
so that your hand would never
fit between them again.

But you forced your fingers through
through the sharp rock that tore flesh
and shards of bone that pierced deep
you held my hand and smiled
A smile fleeting, staying only a second
but a smile that spoke poetry
and paragraphs kept at bay
parts of me I no longer needed
fear, loneliness, pain

But you did not love me for the new
you did not love the words I spoke to other
rehearsed behind routine smiles and laughs
you loved me for scars that hid beneath skin
You called them tattoos
Speaking stories and tales
and you said that made me a painter
and a writer

Writing in a flurry.

Beside myself

I know I'm not good enough for you
It's cause you're amazing
everyone one loves a talented, intelligent, beautiful girl
I'm barely scratching the edge of just ok
"She could do so much better"
Something I hear in my head
the soundtrack stuck on repeat
"She's too good for you"
I whisper to myself.

"You're never going to be good enough"
I know.
Help me
help me
help me
Help me be good enough.

"You're hopeless"
I know

"And she is hope"

*I know

*hides under rock*

The Rains

The sky cries out thunder.

Rain is not far behind.

But I knew that, even before sound

I saw the light fade from his eyes and dark clouds

washed over and then it came.

Down like broken hearts it came, but no.

Rain not for sadness.

You see the sky sees beauty everyday.

He sees the the smooth plains, lush forests, towering mountains

But sky and earth can never be together as one

So every once and awhile rain comes.

The only time the sky can touch earth.

Uniting two lovers never meant to be.

Feeling love in the rain
