Belonging
She wanders away aimlessly
She doesn't know where she's going
She has no owner to claim her
And no place of belonging.
She longs for company
That's what she's trying to find
But it never lasts
People keep leaving her behind.
One day I saw her
She was passing through
Her face was shadowed and sad
But I knew what I must do.
She looked up at me
Eyes a snowy grey
She lowered her head in shame
Did she think I would turn her away?
I took her hands and kissed her lips
Where once was 'her' would now be 'we' ...
She doesn't know where she's going

Wake, Wake
Wake, wake!
We're going to the lake
I lost my daughter there
My little Lyra fair.
She wanted to play, I couldn't say no
I've searched high and low
My little girl in the river flow
Oh, how I miss her so.
Wake, wake!
We're going to the lake
I lost my daughter there
My little Liath fair.
She vanished in the morning glow
And to the lake I must go
Wherever she's gone I must know
I never got to watch her grow.
Wake, wake!
We're going to the lake
I lost my daughters there
My little daughters fair.
We're going to the lake
I lost my daughter there
My little Lyra fair.
She wanted to play, I couldn't say no
I've searched high and low
My little girl in the river flow
Oh, how I miss her so.
Wake, wake!
We're going to the lake
I lost my daughter there
My little Liath fair.
She vanished in the morning glow
And to the lake I must go
Wherever she's gone I must know
I never got to watch her grow.
Wake, wake!
We're going to the lake
I lost my daughters there
My little daughters fair.

Natural Beauty
I was a dark-skinned girl
But the cold made me seem fair
The morning took away its mist
And sunlight shone through my hair.
I could hear some whispers
So I just walked along shyly
I didn't yet realize
Those whispers said 'gorgeous, lovely'.
I walk even more quickly
Eyes filling with tears
I'm afraid of being ugly
It's my greatest fear.
Then a boy approached
His eyes as blue as the sea
He begins to recite poetry
Could he be talking to me?
All the other girls stare
Glaring envy and hateful
I smiled with...

A Rainy Day
They run down in rivulets
Cold rain on the glass
I wait for the one tear to fall
Only to realize it has.
There is no hail
There is no ice
There's just the rain
Then there's my eyes.
It's so beautiful it hurts
I feel the sting of the cold
I wish you were here now
I need someone to hold.
I imagine you are beside me
Just kiss me in this rain
Though its lonely for you and I
A lonely kiss will erase my pain.
I know you're not with me
The air is devoid of your breathing
And I can't hear your heart
It's...
Cold rain on the glass
I wait for the one tear to fall
Only to realize it has.
There is no hail
There is no ice
There's just the rain
Then there's my eyes.
It's so beautiful it hurts
I feel the sting of the cold
I wish you were here now
I need someone to hold.
I imagine you are beside me
Just kiss me in this rain
Though its lonely for you and I
A lonely kiss will erase my pain.
I know you're not with me
The air is devoid of your breathing
And I can't hear your heart

Summer Days
The music played loud
While I died from the heat
I watched them in the garden
Where sun and water meet.
The grass was soft and wet
A bucket of water was dumped on me
All of you laughed by yourselves
We were separated; I and we.
Then you happened to pass by
You beckoned, seeing my so forlorn
I approached; I must have been a sight
Drenched and soaked; wet and worn.
I closed eyes against the cruel sun
Though it meant I couldn't see you
I felt your cold hands on my cheek
As you leaned in sweetly and kissed me true.

Irritating Debates
There is just something to be said
About this kind of constant insisting
Or what you would call debate
I would say it is irritating.
Sure it might be good sport
It might even be useful
But what about debating idiots
That talk crap by the mouthful?
I find it unbearably annoying
Debates are supposed to make sense
But how can they do that
When the jackass is just too dense?
There are points to be made
Important for any case
Why can't they understand?
And just stick to the base?
So to all you irritating debaters...

Poem of the Dying
I sit at this table
Tainted with crimson regrets
Vicious things done in life
My mind wants to forget.
So I think on God's gifts
Like my flawless family
My sweet caring children
And grandchildren lovely.
My biggest regret is heavy
For I did not find my soulmate
I married someone else
And now it is too late.
The pages smeared with red
I know all must come to an end
At least I'll go in painless joy
For my life and faith I did defend.
Though this poem is not finished
I'm afraid it must be
I fear that...

Pretty Little Girl
I saw her walking down the alley
The light amongst the dark
A perfect pretty little girl
Fingers idly carving a mark.
She had radiant ivory skin
And hair like blazing gold
I admired her until she turned
I'd never seen eyes so cold.
My eyes were trapped in hers
She smiled a malevolent smile
I felt the thrill of fear
But watched her more awhile.
I was frozen still there
As she advanced towards me
I knew then if she wasn't it
She most definitely will be.
But I haven't a heart to kill a child
Though I was...
The light amongst the dark
A perfect pretty little girl
Fingers idly carving a mark.
She had radiant ivory skin
And hair like blazing gold
I admired her until she turned
I'd never seen eyes so cold.

She smiled a malevolent smile

Heaven
What is heaven?
Do you know?
Am I meant for heaven?
When can I go?
I am eager to leave
I don't like it here
This earth is cruel
I live in fear.
Take me I beg you
Take me there
Where joy is kept
With angels fair.
I often dream
Of beautiful light
Of moon and stars
Late at night.
I sigh and long
I'll go there someday
One day I'll see heaven
I hope that's today.

So Like Death
Like a benevolent leader
That gives his soldiers peace
So like Death
That allows living pain to cease.
Like a loving mother
That wipes away children tears
So like Death
That erases mortal fears.
Like a fierce predator
That will hunt till it is fed
So like Death
That makes sure you are undeniably dead.
Like a soothing lullaby
That puts a babe to lie
So like Death
That comforts till there are no tears to cry.
So like Death
Is everything in the world
And everything in between
So like Death
Is...
That gives his soldiers peace
So like Death
That allows living pain to cease.
Like a loving mother
That wipes away children tears
So like Death
That erases mortal fears.
Like a fierce predator
That will hunt till it is fed
So like Death
That makes sure you are undeniably dead.

The Search
Close my eyes
Count to ten
Search the world
Find my men.
I kill others when
I'm sick of dying
I hurt myself
And go on lying.
I wanted that innocence
I wanted to be a child
But I'm just a beast
A human gone wild.
I'm the accursed thing
That eats children at night
Searching in their bodies
What I can't find in the light.
Endless search, endless hunt
I'll even rip myself apart
All to find those two men
The only halves of my heart.
Count to ten
Search the world
Find my men.
I kill others when
I'm sick of dying

And go on lying.
I wanted that innocence
I wanted to be a child
But I'm just a beast
A human gone wild.
I'm the accursed thing
That eats children at night
Searching in their bodies
What I can't find in the light.
Endless search, endless hunt
I'll even rip myself apart
All to find those two men
