The Colour Yellow

Yellow is the colour
Of the smiles that you bring
Red is the colour
That makes you want to cringe
Blue is the colour
Of water and peace and hope
Green is the colour
That never ever mopes
Purple is the colour
Of grapes and different toys
But yellow is the colour
That I know can bring you joy

Butterfly

Beautiful
Untainted and innocently carefree
Terrific and amazing grace
Terrifyingly social and brilliantly wanted
Excels at magnifying peace and serenity
Radiance shines form it like sunlight
Fertile, free, and brightly fun
Lush and full of life-giving essences
Young and fun-loving creatures

Your Inner Self

Find your own inner self
Please don't leave it on a shelf
Let yourself just go
So that you won't feel all alone

Everyday is new
Just do what you do
Just be yourself always
For the rest of your days

Just be your own best friend
This will work until the end
Forever be yourself
Don't leave you on a shelf

Starlight

Starlight
Rains tears upon me
Starlight
Show worlds we can't see
Starlight
Bring light to the sky
Starlight
Shows time can pass by
Starlight
Is alternate life
Starlight
Is passion and strife
Starlight
Brings love to life
Starlight
Is sharp as a knife
Starlight
Burns through the sky
Starlight
For you and I

My Lover, Death

I am depressed
My tears repressed
Whilst inside
My pain I hide
They just don't care
They only glare

I hold my breath
As I welcome Death
I walk inside;
His lonely bride
Only He cares
Misery he shares

My lover Death
Take my last breath
My body cold
My life He holds
Death is my love
He is enough

Only You

Your eyes look at me
Whenever I cry, you're there
Your smile breaks my heart

I love you purely
With every bit of my soul
My heart screams for you

If love can be cruel
As the world, I truly beg
You be my solace

I'll only want you
You are my one bond to life
Above all others

I claim thee for me
For forever and today
No matter the cost

In the Woods

I was talking
In the woods
I was walking
With some books

I was talking
When I heard a weird sound
I was walking
All around

When I heard a weird sound
I got really worried
All around
Things simply scurried

I got really worried
Because
All around
Things rose

My Heart is Broken

My heart is broken
My tears are falling
You haven't woken
Though my voice is calling

My tears are falling
Your blood's all around
Though my voice is calling
You still lay on the ground

Your blood's all around
Your face is twisted in pain
You still lay on the ground
I sob once again

Your face is twisted in pain
You haven't woken
I sob once again
My heart is broken

Natural Love

If your voice was a song
It would be the most beautiful music
To ever enter ones ears

If your smile was a picture
I would be the simplest picture
Uncompromised and heartfelt

If your hope was a storm
It would sweep me away like a hurricane
And erode the fortress around my heart

If your love is even half as powerful as this
It would be all consuming, captivating
Eternal and unending like a circle

Estranged, My Guardian Angel

My guardian angle is Estranged
He knows I'm lonely, yet won't hold me
His desert flower, which he won't shower
In an endless rain of love

He knows I'm lonely, yet won't hold me
I'm all alone, He's all I need
An endless rain of love
He holds my heart, yet we're apart

I love him yet, He doesn't get
That he could save me, He's what I need
Yet he loves me, though he may be
My guardian angel, Estranged
