Alone

Lonely and outcast
They sit alone
No one speaks
No one talks
It's as if all life and joy
Have been permanently
Dissipated
Leaving cold, dead, silence
In its wake

Swing

She sits on the swing
Not really doing anything
Her pretty brown hair
Is pulled back with some to spare
No one knows why she's there
She's just sitting in the sun

Tears Unbidden

Hearts left broken
One by one
Shattered like glass
Breaking

Torn open
And ripped to shreds
It lays battered
At her feet

Tears come
Unbidden
But welcomed
All the same

Burns From With In

It burns from with in
A fire of rage
Of passion

Her bright eyes shine
She seems more alive
As it burns from with in

Hearts once cold
Melt in the flames
As warmth seeps in

One Without the Other

What happens to life
If there is no death

What happens to joy
If there is no sadness

What is light
Without dark

What are questions
Without answers

What is one without the other

Brighly They Burn

Brightly they burn

Shine they do
Older than the eldest
Newer than the newest

Brightly the burn

Enchanting, suductive
Mistifying all
They sit in the sky

Brightly burning still

Cover

She burns brightly
Underneath the surface
Glowing with a brilliance
She shines
Quiet embers
Hold the potential
Kept warm
Even as the ashes fall
There is more to the book
Than the cover

Linger

Surrounded by laughter
She sits in the back
Quiet
Days seem to go on forever
Slowly dragging by until
The day turns to night
Decisions and choices still unmade
Linger in the back of her mind

Broken Toys

Broken toys
Lie in the back
Unused, untouched, unloved

Misfits with something wrong
Sit behind the rest
Unwelcomed, shunned, pitied

Broken toys lie scattered about
Tossed aside
Still they wait

Open Wounds

Clear drops
Like summer showers
Slide down
Sadness and grief and death
Linger so close
Memories still bring tears
Life is not perminate
But still words and stories
Open wounds
I thought had healed
