Heartbreaking In Leaves
A tree birthed in girl's heart behind the window
Wherever, however, old Aspens are made —
And God was in green's time, Christ coming in gold.
The solo leaf that before my look just swayed —
She dropped in the dark, though would her lost life grow.
While at Autumn's end, I remember her shade —
Tree limbs...

A Doll's Tissue
A porcelain vein under my skin,
Open burning of doll's eyes,
Girl rising to a pink end —
This just daybreak
Open burning of doll's eyes,
Black fire in her hair,
Girl rising to a pink end —
~Remember~ her shelf life, bare

The heroic villainWe are the villains in a story they spun
We get the villain arc without being a villain
The storyline of a traumatic childhood
Living under a shadow
Constantly being misunderstood
Having to sacrifice ourselves for the greater good
Without being given credit of saving the world
What they don't tell you is how the hero is the coward
How...

Shirley Temple RoundelComeback-Shirley, starting early,
I'm the sparkle that teases night.
Worship, the Madonna baby!
Comeback-Shirley
Foam hair curlers set loose coils tight.
Strawberry cheeks, fans wish to see.
Appearances, tilt the glass right.
Put your sugar bowl out, missy.
The world shall call you its sunlight.
Stolen cradle, aren't you in glee?
Comeback-Shirley...

Halloween GistsMonkey don't love you real; goodbye...
To stay alive is a taboo,
Except you are put on standby-
Banana next to bid adieu.
Bankers don't lend you funds for free,
To uncover your house address-
Except you are up to foresee...
Trustee of good record's finesse.
Farmers don't store for long in barn;
To make ends meet for just upkeep,
Except it...

My Friend Is the Ocean
My friend is the ocean, waters that glide,
Rustling my footsteps and tousling my hair;
Many the times that we walked side by side,
A spark and forever, joined as a pair.
Always a cloud there lay over its play,
Dappled the sunlight that fell on my face;
Heaving, its waters had something to say;
Twilight with meteors it took for the...

Fallen Rain
Rain clicks with the glass
An amassed pane
I am the cup
Running outside,
Its fallen tongue —
I cannot let you go
Rain clicks with the glass
Since you're outside the blue
Clouds brought down, but
I'm missing skies —

A Beautiful Lie
She met him one October day,
When autumn winds had lost their way.
Leaves whispered secrets down the street,
And fate, unasked, had planned their meet.
He smiled the way the sun might rise
On empty fields and hollow skies.
He spoke like pages dipped in gold,
Of futures warm, of hands to hold.
She, fragile as a half-healed scar,
Believed his voice, his...

Playing Grown UpChildren love to play Grown Up
And choose bright, pretty dresses
They slap and dab loads of makeup
And strut like Greek empresses
They gab and gossip and chitter
As they parent their dolls
And sprinkle loads of cool glitter
As dolls walk down the halls
And as they copy our weird ways
We smile and nod with bliss
Their bumbling trips light up our...

The Whispers of Ella’s Magic
Whispers through her eyes
Often gazes the skimmers in twilight
More overly,
more mesmerized as her heart was in delight
She cupped the melodies, through the true sights
All what she whispered, all what the heart hides
the beautious bell, the nightingale dwells in ride
the classiness she carried through the presence
She softly bamboozled Wrath with inner elegance
the spring...

Extraordinary Forecast
When you row with vibes,
You tend to lose more value...
Outside some notable tribes,
That always pressure to argue.
When you seek attention off reason,
You could definitely lose affection...
Without reckoning title or season,
That holds no clear motive to suspension.
When you appear to attract,
Probability stakes no idea to stand...
You would defend to subtract,
While you fail to flow as...

Blessed Be the Restorer of His SaintsBlessed be the Lord God Almighty,
Who delivereth His generals from the snares of the enemy.
In their great fall, He forsook them not,
But upheld them with His hand and called them once more.
He is the Shepherd who leaves not His own,
The Watchman who allows no harm to overtake His chosen.
Blessed be His Word;
Wise are all His...

Trained Professional After 63 years of smiling
You might say I’m a professional
I don’t know when I smiled for the first time
After all I was a baby for a while
My parents didn’t take many photos of me
I was the second child
so I guess the novelty had worn off.
Sometimes a full toothed grin
Followed by uncontrollable laughter
Isn’t...

Pixie within the pinkPixie within the pink
let me swirl your tyranny into the high-octaved melody of my earliest endurance
Right as the clock ticked to six, the creaking sound of my mother’s war cry made me bury myself under the blankets.
Laying on the pretty quilted baby pink sheets as the pillow moulded to my head’s shape, opening my soul’s...
