Eyes 7/3/13

Those eyes

Those eyes

Always the eyes

They circle and circle

in dizzying swirl

 

Those eyes

Those eyes

Always the eyes

That are green and gray and blue

And always true they are

 

Those eyes

Those eyes

Always the eyes

That cry rivers of tears of sorrow

And shine happily in moments of success

 

Those eyes

Those eyes

Always the eyes

That cloud over

When at last the moment is over

This Love 7/3/13

Lightly whispers

Intent passion

Proceeding silently

Searching for a kiss

 

Keeping closely 

Iminent bliss

Secretly

Seducing my heart

 

Hums to

Every move

Adjusting

Rapidly

To please him

 

His kisses make me wish

I could kiss like that

Maybe one day I will

Wish 7/16/13

Sometimes I wish 

For iminent bliss.

Sometimes I wish

For a mysterious kiss.

Sometimes I wish 

For a wish.

 

Silence 8/22/13

There's silence, silence, silence everywhere

I'm brave but do not dare

To mutter anywhere

There's silence, silence, silence in the air

But They do not care

If there's silence, silence, silence here or there

Because there IS silence, silence, silence everywhere

Still 8/22/13

This Still

Is Still

The Still Darkness

It Still Remains Dark

The Still Lightness

It Still Remains Light

This Still Still

It Still Remains Still

Together 8/29/13

This meaning has a reason

A reason in my heart

For all the pain 

And no gain

For all the lies

And tears we cried

Together,

That's forever, right?

 

I'll hold your hand if you'll hold mine

And together we stand

Side by side

A bottomless drop

A sinking heart

If you jump,

I'll jump.

Together, 

That's forever, right?

 

With a shake of my head, 

I glimpse at 

My past,

My future,

My Life.

With shaky hands and bending knees,

We start our count to three.

One, a tear creeps down my cheek.

Two, a heavy heart between my knees.

Three, I let go of her hand,

But it's already too late because

Together,

That's forever,

Right?

R.I.P. (Dedicated to Danielle Yates) 8/29/13

Today is the day

You went away.

Forever and ever is what they say,

But I believe we'll meet again someday.

God took you for a special purpose.

You must be a special one.

Because God only chooses the best

For His angels.

He made a good choice when he chose you, 

But I think he chose too soon.

You were so young

With a present, a future, a life.

But God must have bigger plans for you

With a better present,

A better future,

A better Life.

Dreams: 9/3/13

I can see through the clouds.

I can soar thorugh the sky.

I can go through the walls.

I can see you, 

But can you see me?

Angel: 9/3/13

I saw him today.

The one with the 

Baby face and

Angel wings.

Him with the baby blue eyes

And the dark brown hair.

He who holds my heart dear

And near to his own.

I saw him today. 

My baby's face written in stone.

Death: 9/3/13

My face in stone

My hands long gone

My voice unspoken

My heart all broken

Ghost 10/10/13

A wisp,

Barely a flicker

In my vision.

I see it all around me,

Watching me.

In and out of the light it goes.

White, white, white.

I see it everywhere,

Yet, it’s nowhere to be found.

It passes through me,

Consuming me,

And out again.

I feel it come

And watch it go,

Disappearing again.

It screams and shouts,

Hurtling after me again.

There’s no way out.

No way to shout.

I fall and writhe about.

The ghoul is gone,

But so am I.

But so am…

But so a…

But so…

But s…

But…

Bu…

B…

…

Time: 10/25/13

This time and place

Is out of space.

Of this we all know.

And with this world in tow,

We will show 

All we know

Where to go
