Just a dream...


The cold feet swept the floor.
As if they were sweeping up tears.
My heart gave a loud boom.
As if I couldn't breathe.
That tone was familiar.
Like the beautiful shining stars.
I looked out at the stars.
Noticing they were shining on the tiled floor.
As I sat there, I heard a sound that was so familiar.
It was the rain, dropping down like a million tears.
It was so astonishing and beautiful, that I could hardly breathe.
With the raindrops making a big boom.


As i sat and listened to the boom,
I noticed that even with the rain, the sky still looked beautiful, just like the stars.
It was still very hard to breathe.
I stepped out on the cold, hard floor.
I heard the rain hit the windows, as if they were to tear.
But it all sounded great, just like the stars, familiar.


Why did this all seem so familiar?
The rain never made this loud of a boom.
The rains gained momentum, as the rain looked like swollen tears.
And almost out of sight, were the stars.
I started to jolt across the floor.
It was getting harder and harder to breathe.


Why was it so hard to breathe?
Why was everything so familiar?
My feet were still hitting the floor.
But the rain roared and my feet made a huge thud and then a boom.
But oh how beautiful the stars.
The rain made its tears, as I made mine.


They rolled down my face, the tears.
But now, I was able to breathe.
I couldn't see the stars.
But they were still oh so familiar.
The rain stopped the big boom.
And in the sky, there were no more tears.

Little Girl

Cry
yourself to sleep
For no one but you will
Weep
for hours tonight
because you are a broken child
Sit
and have no might
they say it's all your fault they got in a fight
Run
as fast as you can

Tonight this girl went to the Promise Land

Red & Black

Red & Black

On the wall

Today I let myself just fall

The pain i felt from yesterday

Just might never go away

As tears roll down my broken face

I cry myself back to sleep

But these eyes I will never open again

for the colors

Red & Black

are on my wall

Time will pass me by

Feeling lost and alone I sit back and wait...
As I stare at the clock I feel nervous...
As if time will pass me by...
I sit blankly and watch as the world moves...
But I, sit here alone, unable to move...
Here I sit, and gently wait...
As time will pass me by...
Unable to move...
As I gently wait.

Writing

What exactly do you do with a poem
Right, you write. But what about
Inking the smooth words on the lines
Trying to find something that fits and rhymes
Interesting facts on a tale of old time
Never understanding or knowing what to say
Goodness sake, I wrote a poem today

Today Is...

Today is a bowl of sunshine
Today is a sparkling diamond
Today is a great time at the beach
Today is a litter of kittens being born
Today is getting an A in math
Today is a penny well earned
Today is the sunshine on your face
Today is winning your first game
Today is a beautiful sunrise
And today is the day the light shines on you

Life is a River

A river flows through the world
It grows big and gets deeper and learns to run purely on its own
As it moves on
It tumbles its rocks
Washing away everything that piles in it
Carrying on through the world
It will never bring back what it has washed away

I wonder if I should go inside

The fall passes with slow curling winds
Pacing by blowing leaves on the ground
Trees blowing from side to side
I wonder if I should go inside

Winter passes with blizzards twirling in the sky
Snow on the ground, trees as dead as the night
Chilled and frustrated I lay in my bed
You move like the waves out of my mind

Spring passes with song birds in the sky
Whistling away at a perfect little rhyme
Flowers bloom and trees come back to life, Its getting dark outside
I wonder if I should go inside

Summer passes as the heat starts to rise
I drink my tea with the lemonade on the side
The stars shine bright and it’s a beautiful night
You move like the waves out of my mind

One year passes and it’s fall again
Pine needles fall on the yellow grass
Hours have passed, it got dark fast
I wonder if I should go inside

A few months later, winter hits
Swirling snow clashes to the ground
My heart was broken that cold December night
You’re gone like those waves, out of my mind
I finally got the courage to walk away and go inside
