Dreaming of You

Dreaming of You

How special you are to me
I wonder why it took so long me to see
How very wonderful and perfect you are to me.

I don't know why I got so mad
When you just wanted me to come to be with you
Now I just long for your touch and your mischievous smile
Now it feels that my anger hasn't gone, just suppressed

If and when I can start anew
I only long to be with you
I now wonder if its really true
But my heart still beats and longs for you.

me
karen dannette Dec 2012
me
see me
feel me
take me
reel me

hold me
protect me
think you can change me?

forsake me
challenge me
try me
humor me

betray me
forget me
try to love me
As you turn around, I'm gone.

Is there peace?

IS THERE PEACE?

The immense waves
Tumble over the violent sea
The brilliant colors cavort over the sky
They enhancee the spendor and glory of the earth.

The resplendent, sublime sun
Overwhelms the world with light.
The twinkling, coruscate stars mystify gently
Bringing your heart, an inner peace to your external mind,

Yet, man chooses to destroy this
All the violence and corruption
All logical reasoning has just floated away
And we run impetuously with fear of what is to come...

Our destiny has been altered
Our thoughts have been replaced
Our creator is disappointed and quite displeased
To learn that mankind is the only race that slaughters, not only it's own race
But the land to which others must continually evolve to survive

TODAY
karen dannette Oct 2014
This is the first day of your worst nightmare.
Can you fall asleep tonight?
Tomorrow dreams might exist..
But tonight, we lay in fright.
Waiting for an answer,
But no sign will come to you.
Waiting for it all to end..
One simple deed will do.
Once we were united -
City, State and all...
But now the greed and corruption
Have made all of mankind fall.

Full of pain
karen dannette Oct 2014
Pain is misery.
It sounds like the shrieking I'll be doing tomorrow.
The odor is of decrepit wintry must.
Salty tears fill my mouth, I can no longer trust.
It feels so frightening that it could be no other, than my pain.
Misery is pain.
thoughts, critiques, anything... ?

REALITY
karen dannette Oct 2014
Reality is not what it seems.
Changing colors and often dreams.
It makes us see what is not there.
It tries to make us too aware.
Beneath the glory, behind the scenes....

It's stripping us of what life really means.

Welcome Back
karen dannette Feb 2015
welcome to a world without logic
full of denial
with people who enjoy the dark
where light is treasured
and grace is sprinkled like salt

welcome to the machine age
where people all have some kind of sickness
something that can change you
without your consent and never to your benefit
While everyone, thinks about nothing, but themselves

welcome back
all you who choose the wrong
and think it will never come back on you

But, I am saying Goodbye.
I am unable to endure any more
attacks from the ones who wish destruction on us
especially, unable to run anymore, for my mind is weary
and my heart is not a willing victim for your thoughtless ways

I promise that I really tried to fit in here
I tried my best to live the way that was right
I fall short of the glory of God, like we all do.
The complete and utter broken-ness
Has strung me up and severed my soul

MY GARDEN
karen dannette Oct 2014
MY GARDEN

On a cold winter's day,
I see a reflection of me.
Tears envelop my eyes
When I think of how it used to be....

Days of yesterday seem to float away
The clouds intumescent symbols fill the expanse of the sky
I don't know the solution
I have no reasons why

The roses in my garden-
Have died and wilted away.
I have nothing left in ny little rose garden...
Sorrow and regret, pain of the past, need to live in today.

Gasping for a breath of fresh air without suffocating,
Drowning in so many tears, so much misery and pain..
The dreams I once had, are nightmares and its hard to close my eyes.

I just sit back and listen
To the laughter behind my back
I was too naive to see the lies,
And now I think I feel them coming back.

Bring to me an inner peace,
Where I can find the right way,
I don't feel the changes taking place.
But, I'll say it anyway.

The wind will murmur gossip,
And if you listen carefully...
The love and peace you feel right now...
Vaporizes into nothing, vanishing into eternity.
CRITIQUE, THOUGHTS, ANYTHING YOU ARE THINKING COULD BE HELPFUL IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS :}

Pain, fear and peace
karen dannette Oct 2014
Pain is.....
Pain is knowing that your feelings aren't returned.
Pain is your love blazing with fire until its burnt.
Pain is the emotion that not many will admit to.
Pain is feeling that can your whole being has been broken in two.

Fear is....
Fear is wondering when the end will come.
Fear is knowing there is more to be done
Fear is a nightmare with no way to wake up
Fear is the fantasy and the reality, thereof

Peace is....
Peace is serenity always at hand.
Peace is the harmony that could be throughout the land.
Peace is a slow, rhythmic beat dancing in the rain.
Peace is something we are yet to gain.
feel free to critique or let me know when you read this.. i have thick skin
