That Grungey Mut
When I look I see a grungey dog
tattered and tangled hair
blonde and wavey
this poor mut looks cold
Hungry I'm sure, tired and bitter
I see this dog sit still
not a flinch, not a twitch
What kind of life has this dog had?
a short miserable one i'm sure
such a thing inevitable here

You; |The|Only|Thing|That|Looks|Good|On|Me
Fishnet stockings
black corset
knee high converse
two lacey corset patterned arm socks
black stringy shawl
black and red dragon choker
a familiar pendulum
black and purple hair
black and purple makeup
eyebrow piercing
lip piercing
tongue piercing
prom outfit complete
the only thing missing
is you

My father, My father
My father, my father,
I love he,
my father, my father,
made me see,
how beautiful this world really can be.
My father, my father,
said to me,
my daughter my daughter,
come see me,
I wont be around forever, and i have things that must be.
My father, my father,
dont die on me.
[I wrote this while my father was in the hospital, I'm sorry to say he never got to leave. R.I.P October 7,08.]

Music in a Web
I'm falling
but my eyes are open
I am like glass
let the music flow
echo around us
let waves of pain be shattered
sight and sound sharpened
my heart whispers to me
you have shed your last tear
your voice embraced by my ear
my eyes search for you
alone and unloved, is how the Raven died
so catch me
tangle your words into a web
catch me.
Yes if only, if only
the moon called to me
bathed by the moonlight, I would stand
yours and mine
hand in hand.

[A] False Notch
A pet
a carry on
you are used
a notch on my belt
just another
blinded by my false words
believeing only what you wish to
I've got you wrapped around my finger
following on a leash behind me
did you really think I cared?
I don't love you
I don't want to be with you
we are not meant to be
our fate is an illusion
I'm your drug
I've used you
you're experiencing side effects
I'll wear off someday
but your addiction will thrive
escape your fate

Death on the Horizon
Up above the bollosm tree
a bird is soaring high
Death is shadowing on the Earth
that's Death's Raven in the sky
a curse be spread
whispered by the wind
you will die
all of you who have sinned
the clouds fade grey
the trees go bare
the fish all surface
people don't care
garbage in the streets
exhaust fuems in child lungs
the men with power to change it
say nothing useful with their tongues

Nightmare Raven
A Raven perches on the branch
and stares into my window
watches me sleep
watches me dream
Mr.Raven why do you watch me?
when you're around
my skin goes cold
and my dreams morph into nightmares
I dream of one's I've lost
and that I'm losing them again
stabbed in the heart
running up an endless street
I try to scream
but I am mute
I'm alone
Mr.Raven why do you effect me so?
do you wish to frighten me?
I will sleep during the day
and wander at night as you do
If that is your wish

Sisterly Flaws
I hate you.
I hate when we laugh,
I hate when we stay up late, as I am always tired.
I hate the way you take me places,
and include me in your fun,
I hate the way you say you love me,
and ask me to go for a run.
I hate when you jump out and scare me,
I hate when you make bad jokes.
I hate when you want some sisterly time,
I hate when you ask me to pull your finger.
I hate when we go for a walk,
I hate when you embarass me,
I hate when we reminise.
I hate when you make a mess, and then yell out it was Dave.
I hate when you want to write a song with me.
I hate that you are shorter then me
I hate that your jokes arent funny.
Just one last thing I'd like to say,
did you remember,
