Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Everyday a soul is lost

Souls of love
Souls of lust
Souls on endearment
Souls of trust

Souls full of knowledge
Leave people like us
With questions unanswered
And feelings unmastered

The void of their absence
Still lingers with longing
Tear drops of silence
will forever keep falling.
There is no silence when I can’t turn down the loud volume of my brain working in overtime

i spent my life trying to please
someone with a twisted disease
i broke myself down
and tucked my feelings away
to become the person
they wanted me to be
i let myself be watched
through the glass of a two sided mirror
of a sociopath
i wallowed my spirit away
and begged for acceptance
but there’s nothing in the world
that i could do
to let the narcissist know
that i am human too
the only thing that can please a narcissist is being miserable

nothing would make me happier
than to hold your hand for the rest of our lives
grow old with you
and watch our grandchildren play under
the magnolia trees in the summer sun.

i heard a robin sing in the winter snow
his lovely christmas song that gave my heart a glow
sticking out his chest when the notes got high
as he sang to me his christmas lullaby

every note in tune with a lovely melody
made me feel so happy set my spirit free
i wont forget that day or his lullaby
something i will remember till the day i die

when his song was over in to the air he flew
way up high above in the sky so blue
i gave a little wave as i said goodbye
as i said thankyou with a teardrop in my eye

Dear forces for good:

Please quit fighting
each other…

There’s enough good to go around!

we must save the world from the global curse
planet it is changing each day getting worse
weather is confused icebergs on the melt
all around the universe.  global warming it is felt

rivers they are flooding causing such distress
we must save the planet  stop the global mess
do the best we can before its far to late
the planet that we live on will turn in to our fate

animals will suffer no where they can stay
flooding will get worse washing them away
we must do our best  to help the world restore
then the planet that we love will be safe once more
