Oh I the cold and lifeless stone
Need to feel the rain that
Keeps passin' over me
To follow the birds across the sky
And seek a shadow at Mid-day
But how will I know
What I'm feelin' is right
And how will I know
I'm feelin' at all?
Oh I the cold and lifeless stone
Have been shaped for the needs
of others
To the point of knowin'
My name just temporary
Feel happy all the time
Then see what happens
When you feel something
Else
An Emotion you can’t really control
Anger that makes you seek the kill
Or the pain of another
Sadness that feels weighted in your chest
Above your heart
Sinking it down to the stomach’s level
Should we feel these feelings all the time or just every now
And then
Should we pay tribute the feelings we were given
Or just sell them away
Think about it
And if you find the answer
Then tell me
I might need it
Break
It must have taken
All her life
To make that heart of gold
Such a caring, open heart
But then again… if you look
A caring heart is really
Gold glass…
So fragile, rare, a prize
And she gave it to me…
What shall I do with it
Penetrate
It must have taken
A single minute
To build up that wall
A heart of cold, gray stone
Missing a familiar beat
So common… strong, trash
And she kept it from me
What shall I do to it
My name
That feeling
The last thing in Pandora’s box
Something you wish
To inspire me
Good Luck.
It’s not an easy task
Why couldn’t have Pandora
Released it from
Confinement
To have it disappear
Away from our hearts
But again you’re a hunter
You caught it with such
Grace and Determination
Now you’ve wrapped
It up all nice
And as a gift
Trying to get silly me
To accept
Good luck
Happiness is that fleeting
Butterfly, something that is
Always changing
Be gentle with happiness
It will lightly lay
On the tip of your fingers
Appreciate it while you can
For if you expect it to stay forever
Then you really are a fool
I heard happiness was a
Butterfly, so true
Let the lesson be learned
That though it may be within
Your grasp now
Just resting within your palm
It needs to stretch its wings
Now and then
It will leave you
Leaving small trails of its wings
As a reminder of what was
To last you through its
Absence
I guess its okay to be afraid
Now that it’s one
But don’t fret
Happiness will always come
Landing just gracefully
I wish to see angels
Here upon the earth
Free from-
Impossible I guess to be
Free from pain
My- and
Your- and
The world’s
Suffering
That does come for
The briefest love
A moment or two
Of hope
Angels appear in
Mortal form
Of hugs and
Tears
Fall Down
My feathered friends
And place the crown
On these once gone trends
Rejoice now
And all the times for it
Down you bow
For you're in the presence of silent speakers
Whose speech will make you fall not sit
These are books
The masters of things we cannot say
They judge by the shine of our minds, not our looks
Cradle one and down we lay
The pages turn open by the breeze
First voices pull you in
Do not fear, they're here to please
Just sacrifice your time, go on pay the fine
It's worth it, slip into the ease....
Welcome...
Heaven is the place to go
After you die
Haven is the step before
After all the safe ground
With its purpose crumbling
Empty stonewalls towering
Low rivers running away
Cats of peril choose to rest
Or the old dog is asleep
Minute more, second more
Else more is gone
Forgive?
Oh no, never! That’s not human
Opal stars stare you down
Long away is just here
Simply the place where we hid…
Sadness is painted along the skies
Comes together, then flows into out salt-crusted eyes
It's at times like these with shallow prayers
We wonder if God truly cares
For comfort we come together in heated embraces
Cries to vapor rises to another breath; there it laces
Us; the people, with common reaping
Before we tried secret sowing for public keeping
Why not come out and speak truth to our separate selves
Tears will baptize us all together
Burning us up easy as a wind-traveled feather
Settle down and let the water find it's redden path
We'll find our own, like a lost calf
Now you're tired, so am I
Now you close your heavy eye
Now I follow you with a tired sigh
Now we say "Tears! Bye bye!"
Tears will rest... so will we...it's what's best...together in dreams...what will we see
Without tears...
And then the bells’
Ringing drifted through
The valley’s slope
Sweeping up the night
And settling down the
Sun’s presence
But then the liquid black
Slipped through the
Fingers and spilled out
Into the cracks
Where the bright-coloured
Dogs could not sniff out
The gold in pride
Burst up in flames
From highest peaking carnation red
To striking but simply white
This would only last till
The bells silenced…
When will I mourn for you, when is that allowed?
Why did this happen to make me mourn?
Who caused this?
Where will you and I go and does it have to be apart?
Questions drip like sorrow from my mind filling up my chest
Filling
Filling
Full...
Brimming
Overflowing
You can't control it but ...
would you really want to?
Do you want dry eyes of contempt where the heart grows crooked
Gnarled
Hateful
Because of Sorrow
Could my tears alone fill your grave
And carry you back to me?
Or was there no grave at all?
I was never told about the mark you left on the world
As a whole no one remembers your heart
They don't remember that you took mine....
Love and rest with dreams
While mine are of nothing...
Bread is scarce
I need as much as I can get
The baby of our group
She always asks for more
I gave here an old clothe instead
To fight against the cold
Of course
But I was supposed to help her
I Continued Her Fear
Marrying into nothing
I wasn’t given much
But I was given her
A small porcelain doll
She needed to be cleaned
Of course
Then broken
She must feel so dirty
I Continued Her Fear
Life just sucks
That I know
Some things make it better
And I know where to get it
The was new, very scared
Of course
She got new hope from the pay
But the feeling is still the same,
I Continued Her Fear
Cling to my shredded cloth
The wind is rising up
In speed and dropping
In chill
This Life has lasted
Far too long
My Only Fear is that it will continue
The new bed I was given
It’s so nice and soft
At first
But that new man in my life
He changed that
The bed is now warm and dirty
He changed
My? Life…
My Only Fear is that it will continue
I need the money
They said it paid well
A simple lookout… that’s all
The drop-off was past curfew
My first time out
Beware the police, they might
Round the corner and catch me
The guilt is overwhelming
My Only Fear is that will continue
Illusion
A trick of the eye
A mystery of minds
Together all confused
Up the wall and down
Again and then we bounce
Sanity
You had some?
That’s new!
Now we sprint across
Our dreams awake
Making up new ones
These stories we will tell
Forever and more
We’ll even say lies
Just for entertainment.
Time to pick a card
Any card, I say!
A game!
A gamble!
Oh I love being the master
These fools, they follow
The silly, common, and mortal
Folk, tales and spirit
Lights to confuse
Well…
Now you see me
Now you don’t…
And the candlelight falters
Snow of lonely souls
Crying silently
Falls...
Silently...
A lamppost standing there
True with unfaltering candlelight
Time to go home
Children...
The Sadness
When it comes
like now
Steals my voice
And leaves the rest
To drown
Failure failing
once again
The Worthless is
will always be
With all my laziness
I will not die
And I don’t know why
SORRY, Sorry, sorry…
Is all I wish to utter
If only I could
For now it rains
And that makes me
Sad….
Sad…
Sad.

Not True
My life story is one I’ll never tell
Nothing’s wrong
See my smile?
It’s so wonderful and happy
That’s all you’ll ever need to know
My father doesn’t beat me
My mother doesn’t scorn me
Nothing’s wrong
With my life
It’s perfect in every way
Right?
You believe me right?
Good.
My smile is all you need to know
It’s pure
Not hallow
Not untrue
I made my smile
One would call it a mask
I don’t
It’s real
This perfect life
Right?
Please tell me it is
Why do I have to wake up?
It may not be true,
But it’s all I have
The Past
Is a fat rich man
A glutton who gets everything
Who gets all he can
He gets it all without a fuss
It’s true I say
I say!
That second there
Say goodbye
The previous blink from your eye
No more
Sucks up your breath
That's you just let go
Everything’s his
Death even fears him
Runs away he does
Not a picky eater,
Swoops and swallows hole
Yet to see him wipe his mouth
There! Pluto dripped off his nose!
And another universe went sliding off his chin!
The Past is a glutton
Everything is his
Time, your breath, and even
Death
And there you see
Your thoughts of this poem just went to!
