The SongbirdsAcross the field of lavished green
We lie still and are unseen
Our heads against the blades so lush
You touch my cheek, you make me flush

The morning's dew along the ground
Like tears of joy the morning's found
Your eyes transfixed upon my own
Holding bright, a lighter tone

Above us fly birds of dawn
twittering and tweeting "The night is gone"
The maple leaves swinging low and light
The dawn birds above taking flight

Across the meadow the sun falls long
Blue Jays sing a bright noon song
The light glimmers against your eyes
We do not move, I softly sigh

The birch trees fine, long snowy whites
Throwing fine shadows, singing low plights
The

I want to tell you that I love you deeply,
That I want to hold your heart in my hands.

I want to tell you what I would do for you,
What I would sacrifice to feel you.

I want you to know how much I care;
As I look through the glass mirror. As you walk away.

I want to tell you everything you mean to me.
I want you to know the truth behind my eyes.

I want you to examine the folds of my heart,
See how your name is enscribed throughout.

I wanted this day to be able to tell you,
What I've been wishing you'd say to me.

But as you hold your girlfriend's carnations,
I know that I should just remain silent, and stop imagining.

But oh how much

Cry of the Wolf

The stars were bright on that moonlit night,
long about a fortnight ago.
Huntin' for the wolf that'd caused our plight,
it were forty-one sheep she'd stole.

All us farmers who work this fine land,
had grown tired of takin' the loss.
With shotguns we searched just as we'd planned,
hangin' from our necks was a cross.

Tales had been spun 'bout a ghostly wolf,
one that disappears in the night.
They say if a man gets caught in the rough,
she appears and gives him a fright!

There we were with our guns and crosses,
prayin' that tonight it would end.
Mad as dogs because of the losses,
the grey wolf was hardly our friend.

Just after midnight we st

Hallucinations
He buries his head in the neck of a girl, who smells of flowers,
her aroma plagues his inhalations
like the smoke of weeping willow trees,
now as he exhales, he exhales kisses into
the long unending lines curving around her eyes like crescent moons,
for she is but a shy reflection of the sun
and he holds onto her like a shadow;
grasping at clouds with the outline of her silhouette,
using her as a tube of Vaseline, placing her over his eyes at night,
oh but then the daylight washes over him like bathwater,
waking him into a crisp clean air
where she cannot rid him of his wrinkles or internal emptiness,
because she only comes t

Everything you've never been allowed to touch,
Everything you weren't able to show to the world,
Everything you never were able to tell anyone,
I will know and allow.

Everything you used to hide from your eyes,
Everything you shut away from your touch,
Everything you refused to acknowledge,
I will lay bare before you.

Everyone who tried to hurt you when you were young,
And everyone who did indeed succeed in torture,
Everyone who corrupted your young soul,
I will ensure never hurt you again.

I will protect you.
And teach you how to live,
how to trust,
and how to love.
I will love you.

I will take your form;
Like wood in an able carpenter's

Painted Horse

the acrylic colour
of a wild beast
that runs and rises
before the sun

a wild animal
that man
will never understand
never take for claim

made of pure energy
braided into flesh
freedom left standing
staring before you

a beautiful creature
made in likeness of
nature's splendour
a beauty immeasurable

the muscles ripple
leaving nothing
but death and dust
as splinters break free

with fur of copper
a heart of fire
eyes of lightning
and limbs of liquid steel

roaming the west
unworldly and precious
majestic and untamed
the painted horse runs free

When your dreams are golden
But your life has become a tarnished memory
When your socks have a holes
And your bread is moldy
Just remember it isn't over

When the world is five steps too far
And the cold is woven into your sweater
When the lights fade out
And your crying is muffled by the mask
That you have worn for too long
Just remember that it is not the end

When the doors close in your face
And the cold shoulders kick in
And time has finally frozen solid
Remember that I am always here
And that you are never alone

When your world caves in
And the darkness is inescapable
And the end seems to be approaching
At an alarming r

Friendship

Casted off,
Ripped apart.
My heart left in the dust,
Of the wasted memories,
Of what we could have been.
My imagination,
Betrayed by that phrase,
"You're such a great friend!"

Are you oblivious,
To how my love for you runs?
The nature of our friendship?
I love you!
So very very much!
But you just don't know.

I love you!
We're each other's shelter.
We need each other!
We feed off each other!
Why can't you see it?

Just think for a moment,
Of all the times you got stood up...
You came to me.
You ranted to me.
You laughed with me!

All the times I was alone,
You came to help me.
You hugged me when I cried,
So

*Reflections*In bevelled mirror there is a face
Reflected from an inner eye
Ponders endless questions of love
Love taken for granted passion can die.

Impossible, the thought seems overly loud
Feelings were nurtured with loving care
Treasured moments in book of time
Written on aether,script so fine.

Taken for granted passions embrace
Where two souls meet in perfect place
Words unnecessary hearts do speak
Lovers mute at passions peak.

Mirror reveals never conceals
How time invades all life
Reflected memories a story tell
Impossible to say a final farewell.

Secret SantaBorn from a circus
And playful as a kitten
But caring as an angel
And even gentle too

We love all that you are
And will be here for you
Just as we know
You will be here for us

You are an amazing friend
One I wouldn't trade away
So here is hoping
You have a very merry Christmas!

I Wish to Run AwayI want to run away
For where I am holds to much heartbreak
So much that it leaves me in pure dismay
This is why I need to leave for my sanity's sake
I wish to run to a place unknown
Where noone knows my name nor my past
So I can finally bury the past under stone
And have a smile that lasts
Because noone would judge me on past mistakes
This is why I wish to leave
Because to have a fresh start I would do whatever it takes

Silver WaterSilver water, like liquid glass

Staring back through a faceless mask

A soundless voice that echoes through the silence

Whispers of unspoken thirst

Cold hands pressed against the mew

Teasing jingles, keys just out of reach

Faltered hope and gaped faith

A jacket tight, wrapped around heart

Mind muddled in illusions of escapism

C'est La VieAprodite, stupid bitch,
You shot the wrong girl!
He looks for someone else,
But he is my whole world.
Your arrow hit me,
But I'm not pretty or wild.
I'm Claire, just Claire,
With the innocence of a child.
I'm just me,
All I've ever been.
Just a little girl,
Lost without a friend.
In the droves of self-pity,
I have found my place.
With shackles around my wrist,
I can't bear to see my face.
I'm still lying to him,
Pretending I'm doing well.
But every time I smile,
I go through pure hell.
Like drinking battery acid,
Or salt on torn flesh,
The pain of seeing you,
That's all I have left.
Can't look on you happily,
Without being in secret despair.

You've Changed...People – they lie and cheat and change and hurt
All so many do is treat others like a pile of dirt
They can be friends one day and change the next
Looking only for money, drugs or even just sex

That seems to be the way of the world now
Something that has become acceptable to allow
But it is a sad truth that many will not admit
Through this time of hatred, it seems so few make it

We used to be so very close, you and I were
But I'm afraid that you've begun to change good sir
I no longer recognize the person you have become
What is left of who you were? Fore I see not a crumb…

The hurt you cause us, I know you cannot see

Seeing StarsI look up a the sky at midnight.
I see a black map
dotted with silver stars
connected with invisible lines
The points form pictures in the sky
I look through the window at midday.
I see the familiar golden orb hanging in the sky
smiling down at me.
It sends warm beams of light down at me
and I smile back.
I watch the sky at different times.
I see different things
but I always see stars.

Here but InvisibleInvisible
That's what I seem to be.
It seems no one knows I even exist.
I'm surprised some people even know my name.
All I hear is "Who's that?"
or "I didn't know she was here."
It seems no one knows I'm here.
It's not like they care.
Invisible
Thats what I am.
But, I'm here.
I've always been here.

My Own Yellow Brick RoadThere is a path I must follow.
Fate and coincidence will lead me.
Things will try to lead my astray,
but I won't let them.
I know
at the end of this yellow brick road
I will find my Oz.
Then, there really will be something
over the rainbow.

A GuardianI need a sign
something, anything
to let me know
your here with me.
That you won't leave
when times get tough,
That you'll stay with me.
I'll need a shoulder to lean on
when the world is crumbling around me.
Promise you'll stay.
I'll need some form of hope.

SmileLike a bright ray of sunshine,
It's radiant.
Like a glowing fire,
It's warm.
Like laughter,
It makes me happy.
It's a smile.

EmbersFlames dance on a wooden stage
So bright, so energetic
Sparks drift upward
Making the smoke glow
I place the tip of my stick
in the ember fernice
It ignites instantly
I pull it near my face
so I could watch the flame
Then I shove it into the ashes
And watch the smoke spiral upward
I love bonfires.

The Light in Darkness

There will always be
darkness
despair
poverty
and war
But there will always be a light
no matter how small
to look to.
We just have to believe it's there.
Our light has a name.
It's Hope.
