  1. I thank you for your thoughts they do mean so much..but i wonder if you read the line right that you are speaking of..... it is ..."Petals fading into black death" sorry for my spelling errors !

     

    Thank you !! Please readers leave more comments !!!

  2. Twirling like a dizzy ballerina

    In a smear of water color

    Pointed toes in silky grace tied slippers

    Balancing on a needle

    Crying out into the dark night.

    Flowing white skirts rippling in the spin

    Ribbons tied loosely in her hair

    The melody played on a broken piano

    Lost in the crowd of wonderers

    Spinning faster now

    Tighter circles

    Speeding heart beats

    Adrenalin pumping

    Don’t stop! Don’t stop!

    Then in the moment of triumph

    Collapsing on the floor

    A wounded flower

    Petals fading into Black Death

    Dry heaves from overwhelming effort

    Blood dripping into a puddle

    Staining the white fabric

    Eyes open and gazing at the ceiling

    Romeo’s dagger with red ruby stones

    Glistening in the dim light

    On the floor a last dream is there

    Only as the crowd screams for an encore

    Do they notice the dance is done?

    And no more can she dance for them

    For she is gone!

  3. Winds behind their travels

    Pushing them along

    Motivation shoveling the dirt

    Off the rocky road

    Ripping the weeds away

    From the crumbling building

    Pouring the crystal water

    On the cracked dry desert floor

    Endurance pulling the depths of their befuddled souls

    Through their rough journey

    Dried earth caked to their dresses

    Sunburned palms from lying on the ground

    A Burnt Offering

    The endless wondering

    Blisters and calloused feet

    Never able to stop

    Always going

    Trying to find the one place

    Where they belong

    Moving from town to town

    Bed sheets to bedposts

    Never laying in the comfort for too long

    Friends never seen again

    Leaving with the rain storm

    Winds behind their travels

    Pushing them along

  4. Sitting on this bed of thorns

    I remember a time

    Before all the rest

    Before the sunrise

    When the stars still shined

    And over the daytime passed

    The shore was told to cease

    The fog was rolling

    The sky was paying the toll

    Winds blew through the clouds

    Forming the shapes and sizes

    Images in their minds

    Doorways to other worlds

    Seeing the reality in a new way

    Trying to sway through the waves

    Jumping off the cliff side

    Into the choppy water

    White dress being torn though the rapids

    Cutting the sides of the rocks

    Tracing a life down to an instant

    And leaving alone the past present and future

    Abandoning the essence of time

    For a moment of rest

    A time of peace

    With out demons

    With out haunting pictures of frail bodies

    I remember a time before times

    When the stars in her eyes shined

    When we saw castles in our future

    And dreams in her grasp

    She was the

    But she isn’t the

    And she will never be again

    For she died at ten

    When the shore was told to cease

    For the never ending unease

    Of a haunted child who was never released

    From a gripping life

    Never ending her strife

    Until the bitter end

    Of her very life !!!

  5. Oh dear,

     

    High school sucked! Theydid the same thing to me when i tried to get out early, i was lucky enough to get through and go to college! Don't Worry though...when you do finally get away from it, you will find in the midnight hours when your thoughs stream back, you will be thankful its all over.

    Then a whole new adventure starts.

  6. Endless nights

    sleepless days

    tired, worn

    in so many different ways

    everthing is strange for far away

    every thing is new

    Everything but my love of you

    or who you were before

    My muse

    My inspiration

    My deepest temptation

    on my mind

    but pushed behind

    nothing to find

    but a broken glass mirror

    Shattered, but clearly

    too little to be seen

    light that does not shine

    a song that doesn't rhyme

    never replaced or forgotten

    something burning my mind

    is our time, that we shined

    and the angels were jealious

    but no one will tell us now, hatred is the seed

    a passion spent on greed

    a love that is forever lost

    in the trash

    onto the ground

    tossed

     

    :(

  7. My little place

     

    When the world is unfair

    When my life seem to be circling

    Running over and over into a brick wall

    There is a little place i like to go

    It is inside my imagination

    My private little place

     

    No one can go there but me

    In my deep thoughts

    A lacy veil and starry night sky

    Candle lit libraries of all my good times

    A fire place made all cozy and soft

    Mother's knit blankets

    Father's lemon tea

    Body wamth from him

    When I close my eyes

    This is all true

     

    When all seems gone

    When hope dies like starlight with the dawn

    This place brings on the new morning

    The sunshine chandeliers

    Ballerina's graceful leap

    Into a new day

    With a new way

    To improve and explore

    To make another open door

     

    No one else can go there

    In my deep thoughts

    A lacy veil and starry night sky

    Candle lit libraries of all my good times

    A fire place made all cozy and soft

    Mother's knit blankets

    Father's lemon tea

    Body warmth from him

    When i close my eyes

    All this is true

     

    Being so far from all

    In any measurement

    Trying to stand tall

    Reaching over my head for something better

    All i need is a stool

     

    No one else can go there

    In the deep thoughts of my mind

    A lacy veil and starry night sky

    Candle lit libraries of my whole life through

    A fire place made all cozy and soft

    Mother's knit blankets

    Father's lemon tea

    Body warmth from him

    When i close my eyes

    This is all true

  8. A desert Flower

     

     

    Like a dry and desolate desert

    People looked upon me

    Dirt, thorns, a poison bite

    I can hurt people

    I can dry them up

    Grasping them with my twisted weeds,

    Driving them toward insanity

    They can hurt me

    Treat me like garbage

    Dry hot days left me alone

     

    Then a drop of rain

    A cloud of dark gray

    Gentle slits of angel tears

    soaking in my dry plains

    A swift of spring

    A dash of magic

    Then out of the dry crackling ground

    Beauty in a desert flower

     

     

    Dry bitterness, broiling heat waves of malice

    Seasons of resentment

    The angel's sweet kiss of forgiveness

    The magic and power

    In a single desert flower

     

    EDIT: spelling gently fixed by request :)
