Tainted Butterfly

This is my life, don't you see Pure jealousy has taken over me My wings clipped and my neck broken The demon inside of me has awoken You left me heart and soul for the last time Your words spoken as I caused the true crime My body dies down and the cold breaks me down Once upon my head, now on the ground a shattered crown My lungs seize to take in more air But i tell myself... he doesn't care... I take my last breath and close my eyes My heart says goodbye to the mournful cries They all stand around and look down at me there Some say I deserved it, some say is was unfair An untimely death was one I was destined to behold But this death was certainly... the most utterly cold Hand placed upon my chest and my body dressed all in black The memories of my in their hearts begin to lack Lowered below the ground my body is taken Never again for the butterfly to awaken

Standing Tall

High above the ground I am towering
It is life down below that I bring
The wind blows, my leaves taking wing
Beside my large mass rests a mere sapling

The sun is new, through the clouds break
Bright rays of light cause me to wake
The day held before I forsake
The future is something I’m ready to make

The life that I breathe is brought by light
It is time that I ought to fight
To write this poem, it took dear time
But through and through it began to rhyme

Love In Life

Love in Life

Open your eyes and take in a breath
This is what life is really about
Not that lie you see on a TV screen
This is the way things should be
A struggle to be the best you can
A course you must complete in time

A life that is relaxed and tamed
If not a life at all, in my eyes
Or a life where love is simple
Love is something you must obtain
And to obtain, you must understand
All about it is a really mystery

But life should have its vacations
Times you can relax and refresh some
Let your mind be at ease without worry
Let someone be there to guide you
Someone you trust and makes you smile
Let someone as pure as this be your life

A Melodic Spring

Whistling breeze, a pleasing song so dear to me
The sunlit drops dancing upon warm cobble streets
Dancing sakura so pink and pure of a snow below
Small creatures gliding across the pastures beside me
A perfect day to begin a song filled melodic spring

Words of Loveless

I hold my breath, feeling the blade pierce my chest
Letting out a muffled cry from my blood red lips
Whimpers of pain echo about this dark damp room
Blood runs down my breasts like small trickling streams
I fall to my shaky knees, crying blood of hurt

Your words are a blade, killing my heart
The burning betrayal of your loving lyrics
Just finish me off, throw me into oblivion 
If I've lost you, I've lost all purpose
You were my blood, keeping me alive

I wrap my unstable fingers around the steel hilt
Pulling, I cry out pathetically, fighting death
Your words shallow into meaningless turmoil 
Did you only mean to hurt me? Kill me?
'I hate you' is as if saying to me 'Die'

I Don'T

I don’t drink.
I don’t smoke.
I am not destroying my lungs or liver.
I am cutting into my skin.
I am watching what I eat.
I am depressed, but I am not dying.
I do have an addiction.
I do have problems.
I am not asking you for help…

But… it is welcome with open arms…
If only you knew…

Saved By Wings

I lied in my bed, awaiting an angel to take me far away
It happened; I finally lost everything I held dear to me
The rose of love died and wilted away in my frail hands
I had given up on a future that I could see being happy

Until a small dove, so carefree and pure came before me
Kind and warm-hearted, I found someone to call a compantion
He taught me to be myself and let me smile once again
I thanked him and I learned once again what trust was

The angel I know evolved from the kind little dove I met
He is someone I hold so close to me and I know is pure
I was reborn once I learned of the feelings I felt for him
He did not laugh or taunt me, but he smiled in acceptance

Yin and Yang are the way my past and present are seen now
One dark and horrid while the other is filled with light
I was so alone, feeling betrayed and unknown to anyone
But now I am content and cared for once again; thank you

My angel.

Dedicated to someone who saved me from a darker time in life.

Innocent Battle

A soft whistled howl and a mournful cry of pain
Small fox lies dying with a crimson stained fur coat
Its children left to suffer and yet so weak and frail

A content wolf watches its prey from a distance
Claws digging deep within the cold battered land
Tail silently swaying to and fro as desire increases

From the shadows of the shrub a silhouette emerges
A heart shattering cry of pain echoes amid the area
Its small heart seizes to beat within her small chest

Take Wing

Young and innocent, I bow to you who are above me
Your heart is out of reach and so I just adore thee
I imagine and daydream of a summer when you hold me close
Protecting me from any harm that crashed upon out coast
But I just look on, my feet frozen below my lonely being
Eyes drawing me into an unending daze of awe and for-seeing
I am forever stuck in a spiral of unreturned adoration
I cannot move; I dream of admiration

A small fire it lies beneath my feet breaking me free from the ice
I take a step close as I part my lips for you to hear words so nice
The words I speak fill the meadow with my sweetest dream
You response is a soft voice, your lips like a strawberry cream
No longer do I have to cry or wait, no longer have felt the sting
I can feel you hold me close and part of me is released taking wing
Closing my eyes I relax into your soft body of warmth and protection
You let me move; I envy the admiration

Forever Beloved

Knees pulled to my chest so tightly, eyes clenched closed suppressing tears
Hidden in darkness my heart beats for only you in this cold drenched life
I thought I was purely alone, but your hand was always upon my shoulder 
You guided me from the pain and hurt others placed upon me in my past
No one else was there to hold me in this wretched world I live in, but you
I was showed a small light that grew over time and warmed my pale body 
In exchange I wrapped my arms around you and kept you forever in my sight
We became one and I left everything I ever knew so I could be in your life
Slowly my body relaxes in your embrace as well as the times you are in my own
My eyes never turn away from your own eyes as I look deeper into your heart
Be with me forever, it’s all I ask of; your love and your warmth in my now undying 
life
Thank you for giving me a reason to live on and not stay in the darkness with the 
pain
I proudly call myself yours and that I love you wholeheartedly; this feeling will 
never end
