As I,
Once lived;
On great mountains;
Making not a piece of sound.
And    in    my    dying   moments,
I lay silent in a bed of pretty flowers.
I’m crushed, with my skin of shaded brown,
Now  a part of the Earth' ground as it  erodes.
In the wind, I whisper whisperings of my time,
A  forgotten  season lost in winter,  and  life.
In  a  forest  filled  to  the  brim  of  d­reams,
Parked       underneath        the       shade,
Once      guarded,        and      unafraid.
And      ­    what           a         shame,
Soon      I’ll      be      gone
With     the     wind,
Forgotten

I wish
To be
Alone
In my
sadness

But, I want
To share my
Happiness
With someone
special

Elena
Her eyes were fiery
While her lips peeled away
Her sun was setting
But her colors never fade
When she bites she is bitter
But when she smiles she is sweet
Like a nectarine emblem
She’s the fruit of life’s tree.
All I know
Is how
I feel

And sometimes I
Wish I
Knew nothing

i still remember
the first time i saw
the October sun
when it hit your hazel eye
the rivers of gold arise
and my love fires

can I say it was true?
like the feeling like your hand on mine
can I love you greatly
and stay fine?
i don't want to hurt you
because I know I can
I just hope you know
it was never really right
