Cherokee Nation was ******
From their way of life
Their blades and knives
Were banned and their wives.....

Cherokee Justice I will ask
Where is the saneness to this life
So proud to live and so sad
And death welcome to those so bad ...

Took their way of life
Turned them to shirts and ties
Took their way to live
As their young still cries....

Their Mother town given by the creator
Just one drop of blood to each
Each one important as the last
Cherokee, all was taken but not the past ...

I have Cherokee in my blood
So proud to say
With the flashback of their lives
They Cant take that Away....

What a loom of withered silver

As it spoons its satins lairs

As the tears weeps lonely tears

Drops of love gone down the glare ...


The heartless door to no return

Screaming at the cursed door

as you walked one last time

Telling me you're never come home ...


The withered silver lies on the floor

Holding my heart one last time

Tulips blooms seems to taunt me

Love dies... as I cry the death of tears.....


What luring pride of caustic nature

The kiss came like a whiplash like no other

That tore my throat in yellow sunlight

That carried him away one last time ...


As the grieving process began

As I lay among the field

In the withered silver snow

You never came back again....

How Love blooms and then is swept away as you lay down to die.
Writing the Stars makes one weep

with each word

bears ones weight

words slip through ones fingers

life quicksand

through life's door ...


The catacombs of my mind

aspires writing the stars

gazing upon the world tonight

in the evening breeze

flies without a ripple

to each fallen star

that is thrown so far ...


Like a caged bird

fluttering around

words upon stars

will they fly

even death calling

doesn't really matter ...


Writing the stars

makes one wonder ...


So fly high and write higher

among each star

sing your blues away

as you are writing among the  beautiful stars  tonight ...*

Tis the season of taking
Of ones self ,
Where the mood changes
Depression,
Darkness,
Light,
Does not shine, waking
In a lightless sky,
We crave light
But clouded is the sky more
Grey,
Rain,
Wind,
All add to this season
Of gloom,
Tis the season of taking
Ones self, where all one sees is
Darkness
That clouds the soul
Tis the season of taking
Where we need the light
To feed our souls
But this is the season
Where life feels to heavy
And we commit
Our own self destruction,
For now the
Season
Of
Suicide
Is upon us, clouding over our *souls.

A monumental tragedy
a brain now
dulled and grey

was at one time the

RAINBOW

of a budding protege.

A mind is a terrible
thing to get
WASTED

ASK AN EX-ADDICT
I know.

At one time I could
Have gone to Juilliard
My piano teacher
Wanted me to go
Then I got into drugs
It makes me cry to thinj
Of what my life
Could have been

I got three different chocolate bars
here on a plate at home.
One is with caramel for sure
and pretty soft I guess,
I'm going to leave this alone
or else I make a mess where I am now.

The other is of biscuit and of caramel
as well as the first one.
Looks better alltogether and will be
more fun to eat.

The last one now is of a creamy kind
with milk and all that stuff.
I save this one there, too,
for when the rough times come.

*Now here I stand:
nothing to eat cause all must be
untouched.
nothing in my sweet little hand
but thin blue air

a pair of borrowed shoes
and borrowed thoughts.

Alas, when the time comes
and frost will freeze the floor
I'll have three things;

Two chocolate bars of caramel,
a biscuit one,
and all the hope that brings me
through the winter,
where nothing will be done
