Out walking my dog; taking in the scene
Watching the world change
Everyday is different and that's a beautiful thing

I've seen rabbits and squirrels
I've even seen a turtle in the middle of the road
Everyday is different and that's a beautiful thing

I've seen birds in the trees; all kind of different species
I've seen a chipmunk in a roof gutter; I think he was laughing at me
Everyday is different and that's a beautiful thing

I've seen shrubs and trees come alive
I've seen them peek with their beauty
Then I watched them die
Everyday is different and that's a beautiful thing

I've seen people come and I've seen people go
How long they are here; you never know
I always try to make people happy
Help them forget about life and set their minds free
Everyday is different and that's a beautiful thing

Camellia-Japonica
The girl is now a woman
Fairy tales have faded into reality
As a child she knew everything
As an adult she knows nothing
Going down a road that leads to death

Life has been a rouse
A lie that gets older never wiser
Old age forgets what youth was
Youth can never know what age will be
Wrinkles are long forgotten smiles.

Age brings wisdom they say
But what if wisdom is with the youthful?
A wisdom lost as age advances
Older is not always wiser
Weakness is not always inexperience.

The girl is within the woman still
She waits until the mixture of her
Becomes a grace,her life stops being a race
Waiting, until at the top of the hill
She can race down.

It clamps my heart  hard in it's hand
Trying to stifle
The pulsing beat
Stop my breath
My words
My truth
But I can't
I have to speak
I can't stop the river
That flows
It is truth
And truth be told
No matter what the cost
It's nice to see a cell phone capture device appear on your power pole when you are an anti police state blogger

Escape
 Apr 2014 Elli
Blurryface
People walking all around me
"I'm trapped"
They bump and push me
"I'm not here"
Everyone rushes as I stand
Staring
Staring at the lives and
Staring at the nothing
"I'm lonely"
And when the shakes begin
The words "Are you okay?"
Crash my world around me
The shaking doesn't stop
Even as the hand is on my shoulder
Their eyes pierce through my thoughts
Staring
Staring at me that one in the hallway
The waves pile as they repeat
"Are you okay?"
Maybe louder I did not know
I wanted to run
Fast and far away
But I could not move
My legs were stuck
I fall to the ground
And close my eyes
Darkness surrounds me
This was my escape
The noise seems louder
And I think I hear my name
The darkness keeps me alive
In there
I don't see or think
Just
Nothing
There is nothing
No rushing and walking
Or people staring there is
Nothing
The
Darkness
Is
My
Escape

You think I don't know you like the back of my hand?
That I can't read you like my favorite novel?
Think again.
Everything you're trying to suppress from me...
come on, don't doubt my intelligence.

You just won't say any of it to my face...
instead, you'll let it seep through your presence,
through the vibes you give off on the ever so rare occasion
that you're near me these days,
silently tugging at my mind with your gaze,
which speaks more than your mouth ever will.


There's nothing to say?


Really?


You're just not saying it.


I don't have a problem with you.
I'm just left here to watch
as you continue to build a wall between us.
Yet you want me to open up,
to tear down the barrier you're creating
and bond with you as I once did.

It doesn't work because
you're not saying what you ought to.
It doesn't work because
you're contradicting yourself.
What you say and what you won't
are two completely different things,
because what you SAY
isn't
how you FEEL.
I KNOW what you don't want to say.
I KNOW what you're feeling.
I KNOW.
But you just won't face it.

People are monsters
but with  beautiful faces

People are humans
but sometimes with no feelings
And
                       You were just
                Like the                 Moon,
           So lonely, so
   Full of imper-
Fections but
   Just like the
         Moon , you                    Shined  
                 In times of ,          Dar-
                               kness.
