AND ALL WILL BE
And all will be, will be
The earth
The Land
The Sea; the Sea
The Waves,
The Tides
The Wind; the Wind
The Years, the months
The Days; the Days

And all will be, will be
Man,
His works,
His fate, his fate
And all his wealth
And all the beauty
Garnered with sweat
Will fade, like days

And all will be, will be
The Stars,
The Sun,
The Moon; the Moon
And all the clouds
Will fade: will fade
And Man will die
Someday, someday
And then he turns to dust; to dust

I was inspired by the Musician Enya's song THE HUMMING
Which begins like this
And all the light will be will be
And all the future prophecies
the old maid
wore her
widow's weeds
charcoal parchment
met her needs

because her children
are unborn
she holds herself
to other's
scorn

a heady mix
of rhyme and rue
the measure
she is held unto

other's ink
has held her rapt
believes her own pen
should be capped

but
poet
prophetess
or
fool
puddles
are as

profound pools

Sometimes I look at the profoundity of other people's work and feel really inadequate.

I just can't write that way. But I do my best to educate and entertain... express my feelings. I've decided not to look at other people's work and measure myself against it. I don't want to be insecure that way. But this poem reflects how I feel sometimes. :/

She is
            A''''
        Shadow
She stalks and haunts you by the DARK
She conjures your mind
          Into a sea of EVIL
and follows you swiftly
            Into
         Your END,
But just then
            She leaves you bare

SHE IS
         A''''''''
                WITCH
She
          Casts
        A spell
      On your heart
And mesmerizes
           You
                        With her EYES
AND
       WITH THE BOUNCE
            OF
HER
           *******......
She locks you into a SEA
               OF ILLUSION
AND
           You are forever
                        History.

SHE'S
         A''''''''''
              THIEF
She says
        She's not after your
            Money
   Yet
She wants your soul,
She wants your heart
AND
     WANTS
         YOUR
        .    LIFE.

SHE
      IS
         A
   ............QUEEN.
               She travels
     .    Through
   .. ........      The
               Tributaries
                   Into the DEEP BLUE SEA
      AND
            WEARS
                 HER CROWN,
        SHE SEARCHES
              FOR SOULS
           SEARCHES
                 FOR
                   HEARTS
AND
        THEN
     ...   SHE
              LURES
                  AND DECIEVES
  
SHE
       IS
          .A
               SHADOW
  

RUN
        RUN
             RUN
                FROM
                     HER.

What if
          I
                                                  ­Fall
In
              Love
With
      A
       Poet?
What if he mesmerises me
       With his lines?
What if
        His words touch me
        And kiss
           Through my skin?
     What if i search for
Him
Everyday
And
      Travel through
              His words
    And meet him
                  Somewhere
       And
We
       Become bare
          And he caresses
Me
          With every
      Stanza
And
       Here
           I am
                Again
Searching
           For him,
    Wanting
Him
        With
                 All
                      Desire
Waiting
             For
                 His
                   Next
                      Poem
                         To
                            Take
                             ­ Me
                          To
                       His
                   World
                Where
             We
          Will
        Lay
      Bare
   What if
               I
                  Fall in love
                      With
                  A
             ­         Poet?
