Rachel Feb 2020
Her hair, like silk ribbon, brushed across her
porcelain bare shoulders
as she swirled her head to look back at me

With a sleek glance, through her full eye lashes,
she marked me as territory
for the next move she was about to make

Here lies the body of Noreen
She died of an overdose of caffeine
The satire of this epitaph
Warnes she should have drank decaf

Slowly falling Snow
A calmness overcomes
White flakes rest on dampened branches
Trees uphold Snow’s sleep
Cradled in a sturdy bough

I love you
I will always love you
I keep you so close to me
I am with you in my dreams
And I feel you in every smile
In every triumph
I feel you all-ways
You mean the world to me
Love you sweet


Bye Sky

Placed on her head and heart
Make my hands a channel for healing
Save her life or stop my heart
Frozen in limbo lost in ill feeling

At your service and your mercy
Trust we will your fateful determining
Plead to you for everlasting mercy
For our crises now is overwhelming

Arise sweet babe, lamb of love
Feel the life in her, a revival, a blessing
All the more powers that be for love
Keep her safe and protected and living

Going forth to face the challenge
In truth we grow from your strengthening
To prosper are the fruits in facing challenge
It is only you who are breath giving and breathtaking

Will I recognize myself
After the crying stops

My body is alive
Without my knowing

I'm back on the subject of war
Was I there

This is a time of great confusion
Which of us are really in reality

The Four Year Fandom
Is putting on the squeeze

I don't want to remember
But I haven't forgotten

I saw death in your eyes
My child
In pain, the heart cries
Your mother
To give birth and to give you away
Has stained our hellos and our good-byes
