Feeling kind of low;
Emotionally distraught;
Color me blah blue.
Depression in full color;
No crayola can capture.

Oh to be twenty again
With what I know today
Take away some thirty years
But let the wisdom stay

She left her troubled life behind
The teenager turned runaway
Hoping a better world to find
Free of the monsters she left behind
Molesting her body and her mind
It would be her end were she to stay
No turning around to look behind
The tracks run forward for the runaway

The dark; the gloom; the waning moon dost shine
The beast within the pounding heart unwinds
The night’s delight awaiting sunset
The girl sits all alone
The stars shoot by overhead up high
Crickets sing out a lover’s lullaby
A night to dream a fantasy of love
The boy takes her home

Sapphic stanza
In with the good air
Breathe deep if you dare
Starts my spiritual cleaning
Release the bad air
And all the despair
To give my life new meaning
Both eyelids are closed
Breathe in through the nose
Deep as I possibly can
Blow out through the lips
Touching fingertips
Do it all over again

Dawn’s sunrise
with the ocean tide low
reveals new shells, like jewels aglow
Mollusk’s homes
recently vacated
just waiting to be excavated
Shapes and size
of wide variety
laid out as far as the eye can see
Rolling waves
will soon come to reclaim
these low-tide jewels of ocean fame

Verse
Mind wondering from here to there
Thoughts of what is and is not
Is a person better to stay here on earth
With family that is going on into their own world
OR
Reaching up and praying to be with loved ones
Who are waiting for you at heaven's gate
Mind wondering from here to there
Thoughts of what is and is not

Like a late autumn sun
Melting the frost upon the fields
Her smile warms my heart
Memories of her touch never yields
My heart skips a beat
Every time she brushes near
I drown in her moist breath
As she whispers sweet nothings in my ear
Knowing her in a way
No other human possibly can
Makes me soar high above the earth
Thanking God I am a man

His urn sits on the table by the chair
With portraits of stages throughout his life
No longer will he be found sitting there
No longer will he hug his pretty wife
No longer will he be a shining bright light
I will miss you, Father, for years to come
I thank you, Father, for all you have done

Rhyme Royal
It’s a bouncing new baby boy
Bare butt shiny and smooth as can be
Bringing hope of life renewed again
This month called January
The old man is dead and gone
May now he rest in peace
January is our new-born king
Giving life a brand new lease
Embrace him with all your heart
Treat him kind and feed him well
The joy and happiness he brings you now
Only future months can tell

Personification
I cannot write a Triolet
I tried but I haven’t finished it yet
A Flach Sandwich doesn’t seem so hard
Then why have I barely written a word
Thoughts are running to and fro
I wonder where they seem to go
I have dozens of things to write about
Why can’t I seem to get them out
Starting and stopping I do a lot
Do I have anything yet or maybe not
If it is not as hard as it seems
Then why am I not putting out reams and reams
I cannot write a Triolet

If you’re feeling low and your taste buds are dry;
Your energy’s gone but the sun is still high;
You want to quench your thirst that keeps building up
Well, sit beside me and say … “Pepsi Please”
Say, “Pepsi Please”
And you’ll have a good day;
Say, “Pepsi Please”
And good taste is on its way;
Sit right here and have a Pepsi Cola
And, just like that, your blues are gonna be over.
REPEAT

Lyric
Your contest I don't want to be in my friend
You want our lives to be a forever contest
Your best friend you always say that I am
Do you always need to be one up on me
I get something new and tomorrow you have it too
I get an illness and you have it or had it only worse
I say I love something and you always loved it first
I want to be me and you be you, as life isn't a contest
to me.

Lyric
Stripes on a zebra
The pattern of a leopard’s spots
These are things I may want to change
But know that I cannot
Your stripes are your selfishness
Your spots are your cheating ways
These are the markings that make you you
And are here, I’m afraid, to stay
The sun always rises in the east
And sets each day in the west
I’ll never be able to tame your beast
So, moving on, I think, is best

Rhyme
The day that you die I will dance upon your grave
And shed myself from the shackles of your shame
I would put you there myself, if only I were brave
Knowing now that your monster can’t be tamed
For your demons, I no longer could be blamed
Your death would turn me loose
Set me free from your abuse
And I would dance like I was a little girl
From around my neck I’d cut the noose -
If only they’d remove you from my world
