Changing Seasons

Daylight comes.
Nighttime stays.
Bright blue skies
And cloudy days.

Touch of raindrop,
Sunshine sweet.
Silver snowflakes,
Pouring sleet.

Heart of silver,
Precious tears.
Changing of seasons,
Throughout the years.

spider web tale

weave for me a
pretty spider web tale
and I’ll listen to
every word

share with me
the delightful secrets
of the universe and
what lies beyond
 
unlock the untold
mysteries and show
me the answers to
all life’s questions
 
paint my name in
the midnight sky
and take my hand
so I can fly

Don't touch my life

What makes you think
that you’re entitled to be
a part of my life?
 
Is it that
we’ve known
each other
for so long,
been so close,
and you just
can’t let it go?

Are you still
grasping onto
the false hope
that maybe we’ll
reclaim what you
thought we once had?

If so, you’re
just kidding yourself.
It won’t happen.
It’s gone.
Stop holding on
to this twisted
delusion.

I’ve drawn this line.
Can’t you see it?
It separates me
from you and the
life we had.

See this line?
That’s where my
life begins.
Don’t cross it.
See this life?
It’s mine.
Don’t touch it.

frozen heart

take a lighter
burn my skin
light a fire
deep within

falling out the window

peering wide-eyed through
the cracked windowpane
of scarred skin and
bloody battles

knuckles turning white
from holding too tightly
to scarlet tissues
and hourglass dreams

quickly slipping from
the windowsill
wet with the dew
of seawater tears

gazing at the warm
light now out of reach
longing for the
safety and shelter

turning away
finding joy and love
in a new world
a new reality
