Short Easterling Poems

Are you lonely, like me? Swimming alone in the crowed sea? Could this be our destiny? Or Must we be alone? since I've met you, how my love has grown. These feelings, I have never known. Please Take me, and make me your own.

To my mother
Mother 
You picked me up, when I would fall. You held me tight. When I cried for no reason at all.
Do not be afraid, I am here to pick you up when you fall. And hold you close when you cry for no reason at all.

Autumn 
 Leaves, hanging on desperately, then letting go with ease. 
Leaves, crunch for fun, under the warm sun
 Leaves, dance with around the trees. As the music plays in the cool breeze.
Leaves, Following the beat,  now their dancing in the streets.

Unconditional love
A love like no other.
The love of a mother.
In my womb, before you even had a name. I loved you just the same. As you grew, my love did too. Now your grown and on your own. Always remember you are never alone. When you need me, just come home.

Zachary 
In my life, I've made mistakes. But your life, I could not take. For nine months, I felt you grow. Now your name, is all I know. please do not think that I don't care. It was all too much for me to bare. Now my baby boy, I must share. But to see them with you, I know their dream has come true.

Innocence 
You entered my room. I cringed at your sight. I knew you would soon become,
The monster of the night. I closed my eyes tight, maybe you would fade away. But instead you stole my innocence away.
 My mother took in her brother, a stray. He slept in the basement isn't that where all creepy things  lay?

CREEPING
Through your things I've been peeking.
I know Your out there creeping.
When I'm at home sleeping.
That promise, you shoulda been keeping.
Yet you keep on sneaking 
My forgiveness you outta be seeking. 
Now I've stopped the weeping.
A new love I'll be meeting. With him, I won't be sharing. You should be Ashamed of the face your  wearing.
There's The door, I'm no longer caring.

DO NOT DEFINE
Yes I am deaf and I am blind. THAT is not who I 

AM. 
DO NOT DEFINE,
Look deeper in me. You have vision yet can you not see? 
THAT is not me.  
You hear my words, but you do not listen to what I say. You continue to create the 
obstacles, you think are in my way. 
THAT IS NOT ME.
look past my disability, and you will plainly see... I fly free. No boundaries hold me.
THAT IS THE REAL ME.

FEAR
Locked inside my mind. if only I could find the key. Instead I'm trapped in my misery. Free like a bird, I want to be. With Endless possibilities. but I've lost so many years. What keeps me here? FEAR. 
Afraid of the tears. 
Afraid to take a chance. 
Afraid of heartache. 
Afraid to be free. 
Afraid of the unknown. 
Afraid of being alone. 
Afraid of the unseen. And 
Afraid of the unheard. 
I am Afraid to be that bird.
