In swirling clouds of silver frost
The disk of Luna lies concealed
Across the Autumn sky they race
Over this shadow realm surreal
🌀
On this evening shadows now, I gaze
A gentle wind swirls through the trees
From depths of sleep, I watch half-dazed
Tiny branches stirring in the breeze
🌀
Lights are flickering neath mystic skies
Through gaps in trees, they shine within
Entranced is my mind as,I watch surprised
This spectral beauty in the wind
🌀
In dark shadows spirits are adrift
Translucent ghosts and dryads old
From this beach I sense their gifts
Strange stories from these woods untold
🌀
Oh let me join thy fest
spirits of this beautiful night
Before the Moon sets in the east
revel her misty light.

This I share with you

I realize today
How much , I need
It's not the wants
It's the needs
Love , Family , Dreams
It's my creativity
It's painting my art
It's writing my poems
It's hugging my kids
It's being with friends
A kiss from my someone
You can make a million
buy a million things
But that is just not what
Your sadness is needing to heal
Your loneliness your desire
Your need for the social
connection
So reach out find a friend
Find what makes you feel
alive.
Tell yourself your worth it
and give to you
Don't sit another day lost
in the lonely sad day
You can find happiness
You can have laughter
You can find appreciation
That's what I hope
I share with others
Cause I know I've been there

¤¤ This life lesson ¤¤

As I start to reflect
I begin to see a part of
life , I missed
It went on by
without saying hi
I had no clue it was there
I had no clue I might miss it
So here I am figuring it out
There's no way to say it
But I hope I can share it
I hope I can give it away
this life lesson
Maybe someone will
See it and stop it from
walking by and miss it
Then maybe they can
live it and enjoy it
and not regret
on this life lesson
Instead to reflect
on the fun they had
the cool things the did
And the life they lived
..For that's what I hope to
achieve from this
walk down memory lane
To what I missed those years
that walked on by
So there it is
my life lesson

Frozen Human

This cold is draining my energy..
My bones ache
I feel so frigid
Like I will break
I long to feel the warmth
Warm me to sweat
I chatter I shiver
I cannot handle it much longer
Long winter weather
just makes me shrill
My body cannot wait
much longer
Needing and dreaming
of the warmer weather
If it lasts much longer
I fear I'll need longer to thaw
I add more clothes
It does not help
I try this and that
It's no use
I'm becoming a permanently frozen human

ฯฯ How we deal ฯฯ

It's all what we make it
It's all up to how we deal
You can just give up
Or you can put your **** in gear
Face it fearlessly
Tear through it
Ride that ***** like a bull
Grab those horns
Rise above
Let yourself see your success
See yourself succeed
Now that's how to deal

~~Lost~~

It all feels so lost
Lost in doubt
Lost without hope
It has come to this
It had such promise
We all were striving
We all were learning
We were all getting along
Today it's violence
A shooting here
A overdose there
A homeless camp on the news
Why has it come to this
Why do we just act like sheep
Where's our strength
What has happened to us all
Its feels we have lost
It feels we are hopeless
It makes me feel so sick
All I can do is take care of me
And try to be safe
In a world that's lost its way

Goodnight My Love

Goodnight My Love
Why did you call my name?
Did you not feel any shame?
You captured my heart
And wantonly tore me apart

You gave me all I want
Now you are an evil haunt
The *** was so Devine
You kept me in perfect line

Your name rang so sweet
Now it is my bitter defeat
I scream for you at night
Only demons come to sight

For my death tonight I pray
There is no reason to stay
A lonely dream that is best
To see the blood upon my chest

As my eyes I close
This is the path I chose
Memories I can't stand
Listen to the angels band

It is the flesh that I hate
In your arms I no more mate
Call not my name you *****
For the blood has begin to pour

They try so hard to save
But the minutes I shave
As the day draws nigh
Gather with a final sigh

In darkness cover my pain
For my life was not in vain
Torturous love only grows
When you realize that life froze

It is with closed eyes I smile
As my feet finish the last mile
Today I love her never again
For her heart I no longer contend
