Unexpected Storm

Yearning for somewhere hidden and safe, Running from the world. Into the shadows of trees and wood, Desperately searching for the place. Around an oak I step with care Over silky green grass and soil that sits bare Through entangled vines I find my way Tranquil water fills my sight encircled and caged by land […]

Ugly In A Box

Four strong corners A perameter, Not to be breached A society, Scared of what’s different, They hide what they don’t want to see. But rebellion pops up, In the sun, they seem strange They crawl from their prison A jail, A box of shame. An ugly, That was locked away The pretty had hoped Forever, […]

Away Now, Away

Breaking under the tone She ra, left to be alone Away, from all she ever called home Sitting in solitude, chilled to the bone. Isolated here, Nobody, anywhere Completely still, raised skin bare Wishing simply for someone to care For lonely she sits, Scared. Tears stream as she cries Washing away, All of the lies […]

A Darkness Neglected

I yearned for you when every cell was dark and grim I pleaded with every fiber that had lost all hope And, you came. I was ignited like the flames of the afternoon sun And every piece of me ached to be near you. Still, you had to go And sadly so soon. You inched […]

A World Behind A Painting

Spilling from a silver brace Colors enhance the dullness Begin to fill the empty space A puddle of sunshine covers the floor Green grass grows quickly Flows smoothly under the crack of the door The blue sky fell to a specific spot It is no longer above White splatters mix with the darker hue Beautiful […]

The End

A picture of sin All I’ve done, wrong I can’t hide It won’t take long One day the end- Will come for me And he will send Me to death or set me free. Afraid I’m not good enough I don’t call to your aid Under his judgmental sword his fiery blaze. Finally down on […]

Pitter Patter

Sunshine is just a ray of words Unless you stand outside Rain is just a pitter patter Unless you have ever cried And if you have my friend You know how it feels to lose someone you love To understand never again will you feel their hugs To realize the pain inside Will never again […]

Ugly Feelings

Sometimes I can’t explain what my heart years to scream Seemingly happy then anger rises and steams I don’t know how to say I love you I don’t know how to tell you to go away I need to be alone but I want you to stay I wish I could make it clear I […]

Inspired Aspiration

It takes a remarkable person to inspire the mind You are unique and made of a special kind Determined to change the human race To create a better world, a happier place Consistently working to find so much more Searching for the hidden key to a locked and uncompromising door Your dreams are held on […]

Sunny Winter

Seasons change, everything from sea to sky Rain falls through the leaves as the clock ticks through time. Cooler and cooler with each passing day The wind gains momentum and the trees dance and sway Awakening to a dim light I part the curtains with care My eyes focused onto a beautiful sight One so […]

Imaginary Reality

I’m jealous of her not even knowing if she’s real But somehow she has taken the heart I hoped to steal He talks insistently of her beauty and wit White I sit on the other side trying to get a grip My emotions are obvious, thank goodness he is unaware Or at least he pretends […]

Past, Present and Future

Gently gliding on the water’s edge A painted reflection follows in my stead Distorted and constantly changing The thick glass is ever rearranging Though the pictures are similar They are not the same Both are unique But neither is plain Unclear before the path ahead Knowing now where I want to be lead

Death of My Creation

Your machine is powerful Certainly a work of art Remembered by all those who see you as soon as the magic starts Majestic colors and vivid hues Catching even the most distracted eyes Placing each on you Your strong enough to soar And bold enough to fly Content enough to land on a flower nearby […]

Torn to Pieces

rusted metal Ripped leather Hints of color shine in the sun She stops She snaps the shutter moves over the glass An old mustang Torn to pieces hanging by a thread hung dearly on the wall beside her bed A memory of a time A certain place Symbolically resembling her beaten face she hung it […]

Equilibrium

I stopped working for your recognition stopped ordering your gaze to see It’s better that way, for you… for me It’s simpler, easier, and more stress free then, she returns, that girl so perfect always in your sight she makes you laugh and keeps you smiling through the night. You say she means no more […]

The Hunted

Quickly to start, keeping my pace Between life and death, the ultimate race Quiet in the beginning, no one around Slowly beginning to hear faint sounds Screams from afar, footsteps behind Slowly but surely losing my mind Stopping to listen They are closing in I begin to quicken my step From around the corner, a […]

The Hunters

The skin is loose and pulled from place skull, bones visible beneath their face eyes dark, set in an evil stare waiting, to give their prey a scare. Risen from the grave, searching for the one thing they crave growling, grunting, and bracing their teeth into flesh, they quickly seep. They could move slow or […]

A Silent Search

Up on a mountain you reside you don’t mind only wind by your side your standards are uncompromising and high yet you wait for someone good enough for the climb. Staring into the sunset everyday hoping for the one who will want to pay to freely give their heart away someone you believe in, someone […]
