Quivering
Erin Lewis Jul 2012
Quivering
Her hands are shaking
Shaking
Her heart beats fast
Fast
Her feet fly
Flying
She touches the sky
Sky lights
Touch her with fire
Fire
Burns in her heart
Her heart
Is shaking

Aces
Erin Lewis Jul 2012
Ace of diamonds
Ace of spades
Ace of hearts
But their value fades

Lowest or highest
Which will you choose
To rule the world
Or to always lose

Smile
Erin Lewis Jul 2012
All i have to do
Is smile a simple smile
And the world brightens
Just a bit more
All I have to do
Is laugh my simple laugh
And your face glows
Like a child at christmas
All you have to do
Is kiss me like you do
And the world
Is beautiful

Single Dream
Erin Lewis Jul 2012
Only a single tear lies unshed in her eyes
Only a single words is shouted to the skies
No
Only a single breath will linger in the air
Only a single look the turns into a stare
Sorry
Only a single life will never be the same
Only a single song could end the devil's claim
Breathe
Only a single show of the dawn's beauty bright
Only a single fear could give her the strength to fight
Love
Only a single dream in the crysal notes she sings
Only a single girl was the wind benethe her wings
Angel
Only a single image of fire in the skies
Only a single name will always make me sigh

Single Life
Erin Lewis Jul 2012
Only a single tear in the salty sea
Only a single word that echoes back to me
No
Only a single breath will pass my lonely lips
Only a single look made the sharpened knife slip
Sorry
Only a single life is lost to the dark called death
Only a single song is sung before she left
Breathe
Only a single show will feature this shadow dance
Only a single fear left her longing for the chance
Love
Only a single dream brought beauty in its wake
Only a single girl brought a smile that wasn't fake
Angel
Only a single image of fire in the skies
Only a single name is said before she dies
Natalie

I am a woman of words
Erin Lewis Jul 2012
I am a song of the centuries
I whisper the worries wound within
I spin stories of unspoken secrets
I tell tales of truth and treachery

I am a woman of words

Where
Erin Lewis Jul 2012
Where were you when life got hard?
Where were you in the start?

Did you see the broken heart
Did you see thedeep red scar
Did you save another child
Did you save a life gone wild

Can you find a way to mend?
Can you find an angel to send?

Didn't you live to save my soul
Didn't you live so i would hurt no more
Did you teach this world to love
Did you teach them to live like above

Where were you when I cried?
Where were you when I died?

Forest
Erin Lewis Jul 2012
Running through the woods so deep
Hitting the ground with my cold hard feet
Feeling the air rush through my lungs
Slowing only to find the sun

The day is following my endless plight
The sun my only return to life
Creeping upon me on silent wings
The night approaches, the insects sing

I stop in a clearing of green mossy trees
The moon in the distance the only light I see
Unmarred by the city, a beautiful sight
Darkness around me welcomes no fright

Sleep a relief from the hard pressing day
Heartbeat pulsing, nothing to say
As the sun rises in the bright morning sky
I start my running on feet that seem to fly

— The End —
