I liked sadness
Or so I thought
Until Nature
Presented herself
Before me
Where moonlight
And starlit skies
Danced before me
And the magic
Sound of frogs
Croaked goodnight
Amidst the stilling waters
The hush of mommas
Singing sweet lullabies
To their children
Dogs waiting by their
Master's slippers
Hoping for one
Last walk
Fires glowinginside
Sending signals of smoke
To travel.in
The sky
Perhaps it's not
So bad after all
To join in
The rhythm of
The night
Knowing.somewhere
You are loved

Today you killed
My spirit
You aimed at.me
With chosen
Heartless words
Firing with all
Of your might
Hoping not to miss
Your target
Tears of sadness
Begged for mercy
But a glare and
A crooked smile
Only surfaced
You got your way
And now
.........I'm
   ...............
    ........
   ......
Melting

Never to return
To the fragile piece
I once

   ........was

Gracefully the cat
Circled around its'
Owners' legs
Purring louder
To be held
And stroked
Gently down her spine
Having been satisfied
A sip of milk
Upon sandpaper lips
Would do
A spot in the
Warm sun
Would do nicely
And a dream
Of catching a mouse
Even better

I found you
Not a moment
Too soon
Tucked within
My head
Just when I thought
All was lost
You appeared in
My imagination
Words finally able
To express
In mind only
Because you never
Really were
