World of my own

I am Amethyste
I like to throw a verse

I like the angles
And corners
I create
I long to create a world
Of my own.

And people see things
From different corners of the room
They should eventually
Meet in the middle

I roamed the Four corners,

i go back to sleep
in my Mother's lap.

  laughter and love played
at the corners of the world's
  smiling face

They still do
  though I am no longer young

They're buried deep in walls and cellars
They lie there best forgotten

Frogs singing in the darkness,
invisible to me,

'cross the land
causing shadows to form
in the corners of my mind.

But I rather be anger,
and watch fire burn roses into your eyes.

to cast it's shadow into the corners of my room

just as the moonlight casts it's shadow over the night.

it peeks from around corners
watching every move

running from my heart

ears upright listening

even in sleep he dreams

Wispy lines and gentle corners
a trail of haziness over my shoulder ~

Pillow Talk

Dreams
Waft
Downward
Billowing
As the bed sheets drape.
Fold in the sides - tuck the corners
For only then will my wrinkled thoughts be neatly made.

Round hay bales decorate the corners
Dry straw looking grass going dormant
Hawks search hoping for field mouse delicacy

I close my eyes.
Haunting the corners of my mind,
I feel them there,
waiting to strike.
My dreams lurk around the edges,
pulling me under,
Good night.

there are cobwebs in the corners
just beyond my reach
