The Little Bird's Song
Rachel Lowson Oct 2014
Sing of hope my little bird,
Sing of the world beyond your bars
Of the endless reams of sky
Of the endless reasons why
You sing of hope my little bird

Sing of sorrow my little bird
Sing of all that hurts your heart
Of those who think you're their prey
Of how you'll show them someday
Why you sing of sorrow my little bird

Sing of the truth my little bird
Sing of the times you're left alone
Of the days there seems no hope
Of the ghosts making you choke
As to sing to me the truth my little bird

Sing of freedom my little bird,
Sing as you can at last let go
Of kissing goodbye past mistakes
Of the lift brought as the chain breaks
When you sing of freedom my little bird

Sing of your triumphs my little bird
Sing of how amazing you are
Of your courage and being bold
Of your falls never taking hold
Letting you sing of your triumphs my little bird

Sing always my little bird
Sing and just keep on singing
Of all that makes me proud
Of how you sing out loud
Sing always and forever my little bird

The Poisoned Kiss
Rachel Lowson Oct 2014
A light flickers deep within the green of your eyes
Like the shimmering sea in the moonlight’s small grin
The darkness is draped over the once bird filled skies
The stars choking behind clouds as I start to close in

My brushing touch on your skin makes your body shiver
Even though you wanted me whenever I was near by
At the sound of my whisper, you shake and you quiver
But my dear one, for me you should never be shy

My hand ascends further up your porcelain case
I rest on your chest that tries to cage your heart of stone
Your sweet breath pursues the fluttering beats in a chase
But I can run faster, taking breaths away as my own

The light goes out as I take you with my unseen knife
Now you will always be mine. I take your lips, I take
That breath and those beats. You take the bait, I take your life
For from my embrace on this Earth you shall never wake

— The End —
