Tides of Change
Drifting
Shifting
Divided our peoples
Like seagulls
Flying in the wind
The lighthouse of hope
Flickering and fading
As sorrow seeps
Into the masses
I swallowed my pride, remembered that Patroclusdidn't have to die and that Enochleft no bloody body to mourn. I knew the tragedy of mourning.
Change ripples and fluctuates like the river
Without reason or warning before
But should you stand and shiver?
Or will you be hungry for more?
As the years go by,
I wonder,
if each resolution I make is truly a promise that there will be
a resolution.
As the years go by,
I wonder if there will be a promise,
for less misery,
I am Lost
A roaming soul left among the trees
A sapling learning to grow on its own
This is fine though
I appreciate the silence left only for me
I find comfort in the thought of loneliness
darkness
I am Lost
A roaming soul left among the trees
A sapling learning to grow on its own
This is fine though
I appreciate the silence left only for me
I find comfort in the thought of loneliness

I am Lost
A roaming soul left among the trees
A sapling learning to grow on its own
This is fine though
I appreciate the silence left only for me
I find comfort in the thought of loneliness

I am cheerful and life is full of joy,
Everyone around me say it is true,
Whenever I bake sweets I think, "Oh boy!"
I bring smiles whenever I am in view.
I am hoarding millions
of unspoken thoughts.
Waiting to be spoken
yearning to be heard.
Each with an incessant need
She is a brick house standing so strong
Her thoughts are the chairs where her mind will sit
She is attacked by the ugly creature with hate
Turns Always Go Clockwise
Four sisters
spread of the floor, the shapes
in their order
It works. Clockwork.
We play.
I wake up every morning,
I see my Mom smile,
My Daddy had passed away,
Its been awhile,
My Mom says she's not tired or hungry from work,
But inside, I know she's very hurt,
All I need... is YOU
Up above I know you're looking at me
Even though i'm on this island it's YOU
I need YOU, only you can calm me in my dark days
God, YOU, the essence of forgiveness
Throughout my life, You
Romance is dead, and poetry buried beside it
Lovers no longer are roses by many names, but the vixen of a song
Classics are branded a bore, the modern is too formulaic
Free form is "sloppy"
Are you searching for meaning friend?
Are you coming to your bleeding end?
Do your wrists speak your bleeding mind,
telling you your purpose is hard to find?
My eyelashes divided,
for the very first time
the first crease in these lids,
created to be mine
the first photo taken,
with my baby blue eyes
like a canon with a cap,
a photographer’s surprise
Into the Wintry World I walk,
And see the blood in shock.
Lie there twice in the moon
Never there thrice in the tune.
You were always there for me.
Now you are gone with the fee.
I walk with no fear in my city
fear is a feeling just not within me
though sometimes I get weary, I weep in silence
I just want to be great girl, that's what I'll say
I need no lights, nothing sparkling
