“Something Simple” March 26th, 2007 A simple rhythm A simple rhyme Word by word Line by line Spread across white sheets It’s smooth surface meets The darkened marks Certain phrases dark A simple rhythm A simple rhyme Word by word Line by line My work of art My search of sage° It’s my new start These simple words across the page A simple rhythm A simple rhyme Word by word Line by line A smile and a tear A scream of heightened fear A love held so dear Hidden is a villain’s darkened sneer A simple rhythm A simple rhyme Word by word Line by line The story of a lover’s embrace Blockaded by war’s desolate face For the desire for that one final kiss Evil’s last blow a fatal miss A simple rhythm A simple rhyme Word by word Line by line The loss of sin The balance undone Without good’s kin Neither side has won A simple rhythm A simple rhyme Word by word Line by line °herb used to gain knowledge and remembrance “Veiled” December 17th, 2007 What do you see When you look at me? You’re foolish, you think you know But there’s a secret in me that feeds and grows Because I’m broken inside No one realizes that I hide Behind a masquerade mask A blackened shadow is cast No one sees behind the illusion Of smiles that should be tears With the jumbled mess and confusion Of a shadowed darkness that nears What’s broken in spirit and in mind Is not a simple bind It can not be cured, only mended Like seams that must be carefully tended Least one break and snap And unravel everything and everyone’s map So everything is hidden in haunted eyes Look closely, maybe you’ll find the answer among absent starry skies “Your Betrayal” May 29th, 2007 Betrayer is a rotten word Backstabber more fitting Says my shoulder’s little bird My torn mind emitting So many now useless notions One dark and forbidden The other light and joy-ridden But you betrayed me How couldn’t you see? That you sent me through hell But now I’m back and you’ll pay For I rang Death’s black bell He’s coming for you today. “My Heart’s Song” December 31st, 2007 Music, made of thought and sound For which I am eternally bound The song that my heart plays That will continue for all the rest of my days A life on the stage Played on emotions like that of sorrow and rage With each character and their story With each illusion its own glory The song that my heart plays That will continue for all the rest of my days For every piece that is played Something new is created My road I have followed unastrayed For each path taken is fated By each character and scene’s end The song that my heart plays That will continue for all the rest of my days My heart, I must defend It must be protected and secure Yet it yearns for it all the more All the sparks it brings It will be one of those things The song that my heart plays That will continue for all the rest of my days “Beast” December 21st, 2007 Get out of my mind Stop trying to find The beast that tries to hide It lurks deep inside Get out, stay away It’s a destroyer of magic and fae Stop, get out, run It won’t die by a gun The creature is always there My mind is its lair It never sleeps, it spies Watching with devil eyes Creeping as it follows all moves The monster is concealed in the grooves Get out, it’s coming Run, it follows Don’t stop, keep going The road out narrows See that light stream Wake up, it’s only a dream “I Feel” June 26th, 2009 I feel so alone A chill that seeps down into the bone Rain hits the window panes Like salt hitting open and wounded veins. I feel dated Worn and long since faded Forgotten inside old dreams Covered in cobwebs and seams I feel that I don’t belong here Chocked on my own fear I’ve seen the groups and cliques Each taking their picks. I feel like I’m stuck I’m going, what the f***?! Jailed in a world of black and white Like I’m the only one with full sight. I feel empty Like I have no apathy All emotions shut down Like a mute trying to make a sound. I feel... “Goodbye Grandma” April 11th, 2007 Today I say goodbye to you Today I say goodbye forever I'll miss you when you leave I'll miss you through the world I weave I'll miss you through all the little things That little girl's often dream Beautiful dances and birth after a wedding bell rings But all those dreams are broken like an old busted seam Today I say goodbye to you Today I say goodbye forever I see you placed into the cold ground It's here that you'll be bound All you hear is the dead all around Except the tears that sound As they fall upon the mound Today I say goodbye to you Today I say goodbye forever My eyes well up with tears Letting loose all my hidden fears I don't know how I can let you go You always said I needed to grow But I don't want to If I have to let you go I'm sorry Grandma, I just love you so! Today I say goodbye to you Today I say goodbye forever Simple words that I never got to say Just as the reaper pulled you away As I look back, I wish I did Why did I keep it locked inside, like a jar with a lid? I'll miss you more than you'll ever know But I missed my chance to let it show I'm sorry Grandma, I just love you so! Today I say goodbye to you Today I say goodbye forever I love you Grandma! Forever and ever! ***For my grandmother who passed away April 11th, 2007. May she find peace. |
