"Crippled"

 CRIPPLED

  

 The world is black in my eyes

 The sun rises behind me

 Today anyway

 I seem peaceful and calm

 On my skin it seems real

 No pain can be felt or seen

 My mind is alive

 Crippled inside

 By the pain you can’t see 

"Live In Peace"

Live In Peace

You wound me with your words - dirty

You scathe me with your unknowing attacks - stupid

I need something you do not understand - knowledge

I need something you cannot give - love

My mind and soul are not yours - to decide

My body is not yours - to cage – to ignore

I was never something you - should give away

I am something you should have thought about

I am a rabbit - a ten year commitment

I am something to love and embrace

I live - I die - I want to do so in peace

"In The Twilight"

I have been wanting to post this poem for quite some time but have been very apprehensive to doing so as I don't wish for it to be completely misunderstood.  So at my friends advice I am adding this little disclaimer to the top!! Ha!!

This poem has nothing to do with vampires, creatures of the night or the Twilight Series of books... but I hope you like it just the same!! ;)

IN THE TWILIGHT

In the twilight

You stand

In my twilight

You live

The moon so bright

I can almost see

Through you

I begin to fear

You’re not real at all

You try to

Soothe

My fraying edges

Bring me peace

When no one can

You laugh at

My mischievous eyes

We hold so tight

The day is coming

The sun is rising

You burn away

Like the morning dew

No longer with you

In the twilight

We stand

In the twilight

We are one

"One Drop"

 ONE DROP

 One

 One insignificant droplet

 Forms unannounced

 Is pulled back into itself

 And disappears within its mass

 One

 One simple droplet

 High above the grass below it

 Falls, glistening like crystal

 Fatally falling to the earth below

 One

 One droplet quivers

 And breaks loose from its perch

 Quickly devoured

 By branches beneath its path

  

 One

 One misguided trickle

 Bends and weaves itself along a rock wall

 Reform, rejoined, departed

 With every curve and bend it faces

 One

 One growing tear

 Two tears

 Three tears pass by my window

 And meet again to be reborn

 One

 One delicate droplet

 Joins another and joins again

 To be consumed by itself

 A ripple, an echo

 One

 One endless beat

 One calming rhythm

 One endless song

 To soothe you

 Until the sun returns

"Turn Out The Light"

 TURN OUT THE LIGHT

 Turn out the light

 The world suffers

 I lay upon my bed

 Hatred grows around us

 Roll to my right

 Wars begin

 Arm extend across the bed

 People suffer, people die

 Left leg bends at the knee

 Smell the death that’s in the air

 Inner left thigh grazes the sheets

 Struggle to live another day

 Head rests

 Bury the dead

 Eyes close

 The dead bury the dead

 Peace surrounds me

 Live in fear

"The Other Side"

 THE OTHER SIDE

 I’ve never worked an honest day in my life

 So they think

 I never cared much for them anyway

 The power to judge other people

 Makes us very important to ourselves

 Then again, maybe that’s all that matters

 On the other side

 Sometimes I wonder if this is the life I was meant to lead

 Or did I end up on the other side to early

 Never to see all I could

 Maybe I did not follow the path I should have

 Make the choices I was supposed to make

 Take the road we are all expected to take

 The perfect life we are all meant to have

 It would get pretty crowded at the end

 A long stuffy ride to the other side

 Maybe if everyone liked me for my money

 I could take it away

 And see how lonely I truly am

 We are all alone

 But which is worse

 To be alone

 Or to have so little imagination

 That you can’t pretend that you aren’t

 Take a breath, a sip of wine

 And I’ll see you

 On the other side

 Take life one step at a time

 Things might taste better, look better or feel better

 Maybe I would be more like you

 If I sped up the world

 Just to get it done

 Live life one step at a time

 Perhaps live life one train wreck at a time

 I think I will enjoy my ride more

 To the other side

 The other side is were we will be

 Doesn’t matter how I choose to do it

 Let my eyes see how it really is

 Instead of believing what I am told to before I even there

 You do it your way

 I’ll stick with mine

 We will exchange notes

 On the other side

  

"I Would.."

 I WOULD…

 I would paint

 If I had something to paint

 I would write

 If I had something to write

 I would take a picture

 If I saw more than the back of the same everyday

 I would laugh

 If something were funny

 I would smile

 If something brought me joy

 I would cry

 If something made me sad

 I would hold you

 If it would help

 I would throw it away

 If I had all the money in the world

 I would throw it away

 If I had none

 I would breathe better

 If I didn’t smoke cigarettes

 I wouldn’t smoke

 If you didn’t offer them to me

 I wouldn’t worry about my weight

 If I wasn’t so fat

 I would worry about what you thought of me

 If I cared.

 I might bite

 If you touched me

 I might not

 If you want to try

 I would choose an accent colour for my room

 If there weren’t so many colours

 I would give milk

 If I had a baby

 I would be warmer

 If I closed the window

 I would love

 If I found it

 I would make love

 If it were there to make

 I would follow you

 If you held my hand

 I would live

 If I could open my eyes

"Window"

WINDOW

Sitting in my room

Staring out my window

Condensation falls past my eyes

Down through my own perspective

Such compassion and understanding

I can’t help but feel the same

Bring me warmth

Bring me comfort

Protect me from the cold swiftness

That lurks outside my room

Just outside my window

Through the glory of my days

Through the frosty cold stare of my nights

Open wide

When all darkness passes

Body warmed by a womb

Of comfort and pleasure

Soul soothed by the protection you give

Sitting in my room

Staring out my window

"Breathe"

BREATHE


I’m gonna breathe a sigh
Run my fingers across your lips
Breathe a sigh
Your hands upon my hips
Breathe a sigh
Your eyes still glisten
From the tears you cried
Breathe a sigh
In peace for a short time

I’m gonna breathe a sigh
Hold you close beneath the sheets
Breathe a sigh
I taste you, so sweet
Breathe a sigh
Feel the heat of your skin
As our bodies lie together
Breathe a sigh
In peace for a short time

I’m gonna breathe a sigh
Follow the lines my lips trace
Breathe a sigh
My hair falls upon your face
Breathe a sigh
Listen to the whispers
Of peace in your eyes
Breathe a sigh
In peace for a short time

"I Am At Peace"

I AM AT PEACE

I feel the answer
To my questions are near
My head upon your thigh
With your breath
I see your stomach rise
I see your skin pulse
With every beat of your heart

I feel a thought
The answers to all my questions
Lies beneath your skin

I am at peace

I have not failed
If I live inside you
To hide inside you
Where I want to be
Pull your skin over me
Sleep and dream
You give me life

I have the strength
That time has taken from me
Hide inside your arms

I am at peace
