Because you're sad
The day will wait on you

Because you're sad
You may only wash
A dish or two

Because you're sad
Only the grey livens
When it slips to night

Because you're sad
Today will look like tomorrow
Till first moons light

Then we can say goodnight!

He cast upon her
A spellbound hell
One that ripped
Her pages in half

He acknowledged
All the pain within her
Then threw them
Out into the night

He broke curfew
with the wind
Subsided his destiny
To sit with her
Waiting for the magic
To Begin

He whistled and she howled
No One ever heard such a sound
As the night lingering

Specks of sand drift slowly
As I wait at the bottom
Of my hourglass again.

Aww
On the way
     I met her
On the way
     She called
My name
     Softly

On the way
     She told me
Not to worry

On the way
     She carried
Me down

Can I live
Inside of you
Can I taste
What you're made of

Can I wander
Around inside
Of you
For days on end

Can I tap
All the doors
To open
The ones
Deepest

Can I make
You crumble
And eat
What falls
Karisa Brown Dec 2017
Sometimes I feel alone
with only my stare
staring back at me
Where no one else can bother me
This is where I long to be

Transparency
Enlightenment high
Soon comes inside
Finds me alive

Nibbling at its feet
He raises my chin
Tells me to
Come with him

Collects my broken
Tea cups
And shows me
The beauty within

Where all my dreams
Still exist
And memory unfolds
As tales are told

Outside the fires ring
Inside a quiet library
I must seem to be
As you look back at me

Closing off
What use to be
Letting down walls
Letting passion bleed
Outside in

Over and over again
Repetitious halos
Swarm my empire

Golden light
Sparks the inner fire
Souls speak
Always speak
To me
From afar

Where will
We go next
Karisa Brown Dec 2017
The tombs
Laid full
Beneath my
Feet again tonight

Tomorrow my
Shoulders will
Buckle
While my body
Take flight

And the
Lack of
Ancient trust
Will once
Again
Come into
Question

As I
Lay inside
The sculpted
Hollow

And dance
Again
With this
Melody
That's played
a thousand
Times

And let it **** me
Because I was too
Afraid to let
You see me
Goodnight
