He was only three foot tall, but
He wanted to be like his
Famous daddy
"The pirate" long  bob
Plated
Silver
Toe
A renowned pirate or so
He told me.
So he looked around the house
to what he could find,
A hook was out of reach
As it was dangerous you know,
it could take an eye out
or if trod on cut your toes,
He would have defiantly have shed a
Tear
Or
Three,
So he found a spoon, not
Gold
or
Silver
Not plated precious,
It was copper it would have to do.
So he put his hand up his sleeve,
Holding the spoon quite
Menacingly,
I'll scoop your ice cream
From right under your nose,
One scoop,
Two scoop,
Three,
"Ill bounce the bowl upon your head"
"Then run so you never knows it was me"
"Who had eaten your desert from"
"Right under your nose you see"
He giggled and smiled a child's grin,
What next does a pirate need to be
"King of the sea"
A hat he thought,
As he looked around his fathers hats
Covered his head,
He walked in to
Table
&
Chair,
For it was to big over his eyes,
He was unable to see.
He bounced Off the door, the bed, the
Window sill too, with holes cut he still
Was unable to see properly,
So he got a sock with a patch on the heal
Putting it on his little head
looked in the mirror amused
By what could be seen.
I need one more thing
To be like me pa..
A ship to sail the high sea,
But he was only tiny 3 foot tall was he,
So he looked around
Finding a table in the yard,
Discarded but could be used by he.
"A sail was needed"
A table cloth tied to the back legs
To catch the gusts of wind yar see,
A crew was needed??
But there was only room for
Him
And his parrot
Reginald,
"*******"
"*******"  
He would squawk at me,
A I dry one given and a pat on the
Head from me.
I was known as a captain on
My
Green
Sea,
Plundering the apple tree
The raspberry bush
All the berries were now mine
That I could see,
I wanted to be like my father when I grew up
But lets be realistic I'm three foot
"I'm four and three months"
Who would be scared of little spoon pirate me.

Growing slowly in my mind
Little traces of lines I find
Lines drawing me ever closer to you
My longing desire I can never pursue

Sometimes,
I think that I'm
in a snowglobe,
shaking and
shivering away.
Feet are numb,
lips are blue,
and I'm frozen in place.
Then the pale giant's hands
come and
shake,
shake,
shake
me up.
Snowflakes fly and
little me shivers even more.

Bright eyed,
And bushy tailed.
Happy yips,
And loved by all.
Oh, when did it go wrong?
Foot soldiers,
And flying boulders.
Screams and howls,
Along with angry hooting owls.
You run so far,
Following the East star,
Not knowing what to do.
Mother dead,
And Father crazy,
Who else is there?
To watch over you.

Little firefly* guide me
Tonight
Through the darkness
This foreboding night
Let your little light
Illuminate,
Gleam,
Glows
Upon the darkness that wishes
To consume your little light,
I will follow you where ever you may go,
Leading me to safety
On this I wish & trust & hope,
But then consuming darkness
My guide,
Swallowed
By
Night
Then I see stars,
Shooting upon the heavens,
Then closer I see them
Tiny
Little
Stars
Are but my friend with company,
I walk as they dance upon darkness
Illuminating my way,
My little friends in the darkness
These flickers of light,
Pictures of lights in the sky
Amuse,
Laughter,
Comfort
In this veil of black
The time has pasted I am now at home
As a parting gift,
A radiant show of little flickering lights
Then into the distance they fly
My little lights in the darkness
That helped a weary traveller home on this dark night.

It hit like a bullet through the heart,
The words he wrote so long ago,
"I won’t let these little things slip, but if I do, it's you, that was all I ever cared about ”.
A sad excuse for a spin off of "Little Things”.
It was sad but it was mine.
The memory of those lyrics lingered,
In the back of my mind for sometime,
Inevitably trying my damnedest to forget.
But this morning came with rain and regret,
As I scrolled through deleted emails.
Job declines and too many college acceptances left my head spinning,
Down to words that screamed so vibrantly.
It hurt to scan the letters, but I did,
I almost shed a tear, but I smiled instead.
My eyes wallowed with warm water,
For me breathe out a sigh of release.

My heart is clenched
and my throat full,
Still choking back tears
and hating every word
I am once again,
overcome with hope.
A boy I loved wrote a song for me, because I thought One Direction was sweet for writing the song, Little Things. I am not a fan but that song melted my heart. He used the beat but changed the words to make them about me. We by no means get along today but I found these words this morning in an old email. Although, he's an *** now the last line powered me with motivation somehow.

She was born to my mom, with tiny fingers and hands two
Little hairy, big eyes, lashes pretty and ****

I saw her through glass doors and window panes
Wanted to touch her, hold her, squeeze her like an insane

She kicked her legs quick, crawled, the toddler was wise
Innocence blinked from her beautiful eyes

Raw words blurted out of her mouth
"Deedee, Deedee", louder her shout

Carry her around in my arms everywhere
Tell her a short story, round bed we’d share

Made her do all the naughty things
Break some rules, climb up the grills

I played music of an odd band
She tapped her feet, and clapped her hands

Adorable dress I’d make her wear
Barbie doll, so pretty and stare

Seven pony tails, for fun I tied
Few small fights over which we cried

Hot chocolate every night we share
Never knew so much you would care

Don’t ever stop dancing my little Sis
Swing along the wind, pace brisk
I’ll be here if you need to fall back
Hold your hand tight and never slack
You’re my best friend, you’re my soul
Two of us make best of all
In you a little I live
Luck knew what it had to give
Seeds we sow, little plants we grow
Always know, I love you so

Our little talk

As the words left your lips,
I knew  I was a goner.
I knew I would live the rest of my life fawning over our little talks.

Our little talks.
You said my name
my heart beats fast,
If it doesn't slow down I think i'll crash.
You breathed down my neck
you turned my body into a hopeless wreck.

Our little talks.
I spend all night reenacting,
our little talks are so distracting.
At night I say your name over and over
when I say your name its keeps me sober.
I say your name my hearts on edge
I say your name like its a pledge.

Our little talk.
I anticipate them all
I anticipate the fall
we talk all day
I dream all night
our little talk my little light
