“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

“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.
