Song of Healing

Day to night, dark to light,
Fall the sands of time.
Let the years like the gears
Of a clock unwind
In your mind walk through time
Back to better days.
Memories, like a dream,
Wash your tears away.
Like a star in the sky darkness can't reach you.
Light the night, joy is light 'til the new dawn.
---
Cast away your old face
Full of gloom and spite.
With this mask I will ask
To borrow your light.Song of Healing8 years ago in Free Verse

This beautiful house
I love this house with beautiful doors
With locks
I love this house with beautiful windows
With bars
I don't love the room
The room with the yellow wallpaper

Can't work
Can't write
Must rest
My husband says I must rest
They all say I must rest
So I rest in this room
This room with the yellow wallpaper

Missing You Part 2It's killing me inside
Lost all my pride
I know I've thought of suicide
And maybe those thoughts were right

And now I'm losing my mind
How could I have been so blind?
When you needed me I can't believe I didn't try
I was gone and so clueless and I let you die

The end of your perfect book
Was all that they knew

When you left us behind
All I did was cry
Oh, I felt so deprived
There goes my only guide

There's just so much
That I want to say
That I miss your touch
But you've gone away

No one else even knew
What we both knew was true
When the chance came all I did was withdrew
I thought you had time left, that it'd take a few

Not Exactly Alone

Put the head in the basket
Let it run down the stream
Begin to create the casket
For your one and only dream

It was you that sealed your fate
Lost in time roaming the field
Inside you were consumed by hate
The time has come to break the seal

Something is out there waiting
As our fire dies on its own
Distant sounds of the banging
We become no longer alone

Now I'm finding my family
Their lives have all been spent
Now I'm finding my friends
Writhing in their own agony

The hellish unadorned march on
I make my way trying to escape
I don't get far as they sound the alarm
No longer in charge of my own fate

Something is out therNot Exactly Alone2 years ago in Songs & Lyrics

WallpaperYou never cared. You never did. I know that now. I'm just an obect. I'm just the girl in the corner. I know that now.

In the corner
A girl stands
Lost and Lonely
Beaten and Broken
Needing and Wanting
Waiting and silently crying
Looking closely you can see her broken wings
They've been savagely ripped
Her halo slightly tilted

Here Is Where I Lie

I refuse to believe
That the purpose of our hearts
Is just to end up broken
That it will all unweave

That we can never be together
In the warmth of our love
As our hearts beat as one
That it will last forever

In love's sweet sacrifice
Lost in an eternal cry
Here is where I lie...
I don't want to ever say goodbye

Looking up at the darkened sky
Asking myself a longing why
Ending my dreams in a broken sigh
I don't want to ever say goodbye

Oh, I will give this another try
Ever amazed for once in my life
Oh, the least you could do is try
Is to be a part of my life

Please, try to be closer

The Beginning (CONTAINS SPOILERS!)

An unexpected boy
stumbled upon an alien device,
his curiosity activated it,
attatching to his wrist
he transformed into a red-hot hero,
but panicked and set a forest ablaze
he kept this a secret from the others,
but they found out
and were amazed.

Eventually this child,
gifted with the watch
figured out it's mechanics,
and put evil to it's demise.
He gained friends and enemies,
Saved lives,
got fame.

He met the creator, Azumuth,
The little alien was pleased.
But he never told him how to work the watch,
leaving the child to figure out the rest.
He also learned another thing;
The Omnitrix was the device's name.

Anti-Bullying 2 and 3Climbing down this stair of despair
Regretting when I snared your glare

All the words have been spoken
Now I lay here broken

Please just go away
Just for a day

There is now a hole in my heart
That you tore apart

You killed the last of the good in me
All that's left is dark debris

You are the only one left to blame
Now look at what I became

You know I will never be the same
I will never forget your name

I never wanted this
I can't sleep until dawn
Something that I'll never miss
You won't stop till I'm dead and gone

Covering bruises in the mirror
How long can I keep up this facade?

Ashes of a Burning Heart9 years ago in Visual & Found Poetry

lonely little girlSo, sad and lonely girl,
So melancholy, so bittersweet
The key has reached its boiling point

She paints her tragedy
But she says not a word
And up there, in her alcove,
Her soul's a caged bird
Her heart is bound in chains
She clings to her past
Her canvas shows her shackles
All can plainly see it
But her

She sits and paints her pictures
Without a care in the world,
Or so it seems
She sits in the alcove,
Leaving her message upon the wall
She moves like clockwork,
This lonely little doll
She's just sitting pretty
But you see it in her eyes
She's a shadow of her former self

No medium in particular,
Just lost in thought aslonely little girl4 years ago in Songs & Lyrics

A Midnight Meditation

I begin my journey of words, words and words-
With ‘In the Name of my Beloved God,
The most Generous and most Merciful’-
A raconteur’s most precious amulet.

I speak of my God,
In every breath of sweet air-
At the slightest sign of despair-

I speak of His Messenger-
In respectful and beautiful verses-
and in each well-guided behaviour.

I speak of His religion,
Without a hint of hesitation-
Steadfast-with an unswayed submission.

And when raised eyebrows-
Question His very existence-
I would proudly declare-

That He is eternally embedded in here-
In each life-giving pulse,
And every thumping beat,

" Sir Human, why you left me alone in this big world? Everything it's painful to see..

Those tears I'm crying, aren't mine, I'm slowly losing myself, going under

Do you want to sleep? Let me sing a song, this pain is awfuly

Affecting me, I barely can open my eyes, seeing the ground becoming darker. "

" One day passed again, the time is stealing every breath I'm trying to take.

Please don't go, I'll protect you, by keeping this promise we made each other

That we'll live together, till the world ends, till the demons will awake

They just want to take me apart from you, please don't go master. "

Waiting For Nothing

Why did you talk about me
like I wasn't there?
Only a few feet away
but completely out of reach
and that's how it will stay.
Invisibility,
a craft I've mastered so well,
your smile shines through me
not daring to touch my skin
your touch is meaningless.
My shoulders are heavy
My eyes are sore
and my hands are tied.
Get away from me
you don't love me
and I breathe sighs
of relief when you're gone.
You've stolen my
entire life from me,
without a second thought
and I only asked one thing in return.
But that was too much.
It was all too much.
For all of us.
So here, by myself,
I wait for you…

And wait for nothing.Waiting For Nothing10 years ago in Free Verse

WallpaperOh little piece of left over wallpaper that just wont seem to come off,

Soon they will be here, be here to kill you, and you will not survive,
for i am to have soundproofed walls so i can feel alive.

Never again will you spy the pleasure pasted apon my face,
as my secret lover, continues to smother, me with his soft embrace.
Gone are the days of effortless laughter, when i would sit and cry,
others when you'd see none of me but watch the roses die.

When I Come BackI told himI was coming in a little bit.
But he insisted for me to stay by his side anyways.
I told him "I love you don't worry i'll come back to you no matter what."
I was bushing and was happy that I said that.
He said to me " Damn! I can't wait until you get back! I want to kiss you and hug you so bad!"
As I left happy and was surely blushing alot I wanted to stay with him, beside him.

A poem for Scar

I had dreams of pain and fire
and grief and burning shame.
I was swallowed up by dark desire
and all my struggles had been in vain.
I was searching for the answers
and the long-lost peace of my soul.
My mind was clouded by anger
but the hatred ceased - it is no more.
I've found the scattered mirror shards,
my prayers have been heard;
I bowed my head and made amends
And now, I've found my place on earth.A poem for Scar9 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms

In his eyes I see sorrow
I see strength and wisdom
In his eyes I see light,
bright and new
In his eyes I see hope and I see fear
Loneliness and sweet bitterness
The ones he loves he can't protect
No one knows how he is tortured in his depths
But if you look in his deep violet eyes
You will see what I see

The weight of the world is in his eyes
A power fills his pale hands
But with this power there comes sacrifice
To protect the ones he loves he must part with:
fear, his life, and everything dear
But to use this power he must possess
love, kindness and above all:
`~hope~`

With the hope I see in his eyes

StarliteStarlite, the magnificent horse
There's none better of course
With Ms. Brite and Twink
They are able to bring color in a blink
Make a rose blood red
Turn a daisy orange instead
Keep bananas nice and yellow
Have a breather for some green jello
Lend some blue to the sky
They do not pass by
Without adding more indigo to the bunting bird
It may sound absurd
But the violet gets enhanced
There's a higher chance
Of involving the pastels
For another spell
If Starlite hauls Tinkled Pink back
Hoping to avoid the flack
From Stormy and Moonglow
By not letting them know
