CLEANSING

Skylight over top of me Let the rain poor down on me Cleanse me of my awful sins So my soul might again begin Clean the slate with the actions I make As I take responsibility for my mistakes I’ve found the answer I once was lacking No more excuses, no more slacking Time to face the world: a woman at...

BLACKBIRD ANGELS

The blackbirds crowd the sky As they all watch over I release a sigh Unheard amongst the chirrup Black is the sky with winged angels Dancing on the wind They flit they flutter, they fly The watchful eyes of heaven From tree to tree: yard to yard Blackbirds everywhere you turn Deafening the sounds of...

ALTERNATE REALITY

The path it passes beneath my feet As I feel a strange familiarity I’ve walked this path many times before Yet not in this time, not in this world But in my dreams, when I am at peace I always find myself in this place Yellow leaves on every bow Flowers scattered on the ground below Wildflowers of...

VOICES TELLING ME…

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ They say that pain can give you a purpose They are the voices I hear when I close my eyes They tell me to keep my chin up Face the world with open arms They say to fight for what’s right Spread the love.

This poem has been burned into my mind. It represents the most painful

part of my life>>> LIVE FOR A CHANCE Death awaits my soul Just a paltry toll My life has left it empty Perhaps my death will fulfill me You couldn’t comfort me when I was down Now in my burdens I shall drown Taken from a life so callow My sagacity has left me shallow Left to bury my remains Nothing...

THE ROAD ON WHICH YOU’D WALK

All the things I want to tell you None of them I will Nothing can get through to you You dumb eternal child Wasting your life to the very last drop Leaching off of your parents and friends No education, no car, no job The only good things you do you do in bed Your mind’s like a feather Changing...
