Reading Between the Lines
Natalie Wood Jan 2013
I**             feel as if I could Fly!
Am        I the only one?
Not        to brag, but I feel so glad!
Strong   is my middle name.

That girl.
Natalie Wood Jan 2013
Look at that girl,
The one with the sad brown eyes,
Look at that girl,
Don't listen to her cries.

She is not strong,
but getting there is hard,
She won't stay long,
She just came to say goodbye.

Now look to the future,
and tell me, what do you see?
Look to the past,
Do you see she was me?

Look at that girl,
The one with the hair as long as a mile,
Look at her now,
I think she'll stay awhile.

What a world!
Natalie Wood Dec 2012
I smell dew in the air
yet the sun is setting
I see green of new grass
though first snow has fallen
I feel the sharp chill in the air
but the sun still shines
it is a strange wold
we live in
today.

The Monster Under My Bed
Natalie Wood Dec 2012
Slobbering slim rolls off its mouth
Creepy crawlies start marching south
Evil eyes and jiggly jowls,
Sinister laughs and winning howls
A flash of teeth,
From underneath
A Throaty growl
You sit, try not to yowl
The bed will hide its enormous bulk
Evil will never sulk
A shattering cry pierces the night
Now it’s time to run in fright

Technology
Natalie Wood Dec 2012
How does technology make the world a better place?
I’ll tell you, if you can keep up pace.
At first we were awed by a simple light,
Then a space shuttle taking off into the night.
We work and work, night and day,
Looking, looking for another way.
We look at places from across the world,
With a peek into a book, filled with words.
Some people think “ What shall I make today?”
While others say “ Should I stand here or lay?

People, People
Natalie Wood Dec 2012
People, people all around
Not a single one makes a sound.
People, people gather here
So you may be not far, but near.
People, people listen up
We’ve got everything and a cup.
People, people do not fear
For now, even they are here.

The Angel and the Demon
Natalie Wood Dec 2012
Evil seeps through his bones,
The fire in his eyes always roams,
Wanting what evil can never have

Is the angel with a broken wing.

Evil is the gist of it
Even without his cunning wit
Pleading for the terrible thing

Is an angel with a broken wing.

Burning heat soaks his breath
Now or never for what is left
Where two worlds almost collide

Is the angel with a broken wing.

Who am I?
Natalie Wood Dec 2012
Who am I to call you a misfit,
when I am one?

who am I to judge you,
When I am also to be judged?

Who am I?
Who am I?
WHO AM I?

Who am I to tell you who to be,
or how to be?

Who am I to tell you who you are
when the same question roams my mind?

Who am I?
Who am I?
WHO AM I?

I am me.

Element
Natalie Wood Dec 2012
I lit a candle
Watching the flame
Calling my name

I turned on the sink
Watched the flow
Tugging me to and fro

I stepped on the ground
and dragged my foot
through the soot

I felt the wind on my face
It tugging at my hair
Through the peaceful air

Quite
Natalie Wood Dec 2012
The sound of silence can drive me insane?
Make my brain
forget my name?
The sound of nothing can make me mad
wish I had?
forgetting the sad
The sound of dark can make me despise
all the cries
the wounderings why?

The Night to Live
Natalie Wood Dec 2012
Into the dark
the night
this is my favorite time of day
in the cover of dark
like a cloak around me
it hides me from the eye

the shadow of the trees
the wind wiping my face
the coyotes howling at the moon

the moon
the best thing in this night
full
light
peaceful

I can hear the soft footfalls of dear
the creek in the trees
this is my night
my night to
live
laugh

my senses
keen
sharp
I smell the moist moss
earthy
wild

I get up
I run
into the dark of my night to live
this is my night of forever
until the rising sun calls me
out of the night
Into the light.

We are the Monsters
Natalie Wood Dec 2012
We are the monsters,
We try to tell ourselves that we are not, but we are.
We destroy, we take, we want.
We are made of greed and anger and lust.
But we are mostly hate.
We are truly the monsters.

Forever is a lie.
Natalie Wood Dec 2012
If forever was the word you used,
Why is I feel so abused?
Forever seemed like eternity,
But us minus you is just me, me, me.
Well, whatever now, I guess I lose.
Our relationship was at the end of it's fuse.

Beautiful
Natalie Wood Dec 2012
Hello Beautiful,
What do you see?
Do you see all the beauty in me?
Can you tell,
My life is great?
That there is nobody I can hate?
Goodbye Beautiful,
I saw what you see.
I saw that you can see the beauty in me.

The Sunflowers Life
Natalie Wood Dec 2012
I start out as a small seed, pushed deeply underground,
then I am a sprout, small and happy.

I grow leaves and am bright and happy,
I have a head, small and green.

Then....
I burst through the green and reach for the sun!

The sun is beautiful, and I am a sun too,
But I am waiting for the moon. It is beautiful also.

I become the sun of the night,
And the second sun of the day.

I keep growing, and it becomes hard to look at the sun,
my head heavy with pedals, and seeds of my own.

Staring at the ground that I came from, and I drop my seeds.
And I start again, as a small seed, pushed deeply underground.

Empty
Natalie Wood Dec 2012
Empty
is     the
broken and frayed

sun      in      her     eyes
Like a empty cloudless sky
And  now  gone,  here  she  lies.

Disappearing with her own never lasting wind.
