Poems

Earth Day
If only she knew
My raven, my dove
Has taken the form
Of my only true love
Like the sun and the moon
Equilibrium's force
She's my wind and my tide
She's my energy source
She's the opal-eyed skyline
Divine is her power
So how do we let down
Her flower-haired tower
Then pluck every petal
And cut every strand
Then toss her away
Like a raggedy Anne
Quick **** for a buck
To the coal-mining reaper
She screams out in pain
But we keep drilling deeper
Her willows now weeping
Her beauty erodes
In each drop of your ugly,
Corrosive payloads
To her womb of creation
Deforming it's birthΒ Β
When all life is valued
In financial worth
Why can we not share
In her warmth every day
Feel this thermal attraction
I'm melting away
