Trying to write a Pantoum is fine
 But what if you miss a line
 Then it becomes a pain
 When you have the wrong refrain
 Then Rhyme is the form you assign!

Blizzard blows it s storms over;
Temperature Frozen air threatens us;
Animals run for warmth cover;
Where's the abominated trust;

Twinkle white powdered Frozen dew
Specs of granulated salt sweetened
Suspended fallen crushed sugar cubes
-Frozen drops rain dots leaping

Blackest night sparkles snowflakes;
Specs flowing glowing drops of LIGHTS;
---glitter sparkles shine so bright;
Blacken dark skies so now breaks;

Fantasmal Walk back into line
limes and lemons keeping time
So like crisping bacon or drinking wine
Out of the box ...can you spare a dime?
Touch me with your lust devine
Hating you!...with each new rhyme...

Succulent isis crunches maze;
Autumn's gone winter's here blizzard season;
Skiing shed craze;
Can't swim in the frozen lake, no reason?

My hands do indeed,
They show no secrets,
Scars and cuts,
Tough skin.

They show no secrets,
These hands of mine,
Tough skin,
Along the palm.

These hands of mine,
Scars and cuts,
Along the palm,
My hands do indeed....

You faded too soon
Gone to the moon
A holiday for you
Now what am I to do
Gone to the moon
Lost without you
Now what am I to do
A frosted complexion 
Lost without you
A holiday for you
A frosted complexion
You faded too soon...

Beware of the ghost,
Dangerous and dark,
stay away from its grip,
Don't let it swallow you,
Protect your peace,
Take the help of angelic thoughts,
stay positive and motivating,
Scare the ghost away
Quiet the deadly thoughts(ghost) in mind

Snow on the mountain
Fire in the hearth
Cool spring fountains
Love, laughter, mirth

Fire in the hearth
Radiance whenceforth
Love, laughter, mirth
Fills all the earth

Radiance whenceforth
Cool spring fountains
Fills all the earth
Snow on the mountain...

Promises are meant to be broken
Like humans to ash
Like castles to sand 
And ice to water

Like humans to ash 
Like music to a song
and ice to water
Like answer to a prayer

Like music to a song 
Like castles to sand
Like answer to a prayer
Promises are meant to be broken...

Eyes are beautiful
They come in many colors
They are round
It is part of the body

They come in many colors
Blue, brown, black
It is part of the body
Without them you will be blind

Blue, brown, black
They are round
Without them you will be blind
Eyes are beautiful...

She's lost in a naked dream
Barring all to see
With each key stroke
Undressing all of me

Barring all to see
Reveling vulnerability 
Undressing all of me
Stings so painstakingly

Revealing vulnerability
With each key stroke
Stings so painstakingly 
She's lost in a naked dream

waking up, feeling sick 
again and again
when will these feelings end?
i’m so tired of this

again and again
the day seems too long
i’m so tired of this
i just want to stop

the day seems too long
when will these feelings end?
i just want to stop

Children are seen
Not heard.
Mother was our go between.
How absurd.
Not a word
To me this was extreme
Especially since adults were always in 
A herd.
They reigned supreme.
To argue was to blaspheme.
This was real
No matter how dumb it would seem
To adults this was ideal....

Frozen and numb
Dwelling in my cold shadows
Shivering me deeply inside
A devil I am
Finding solace In Hell
Where Love is Evilly Blind

Melted and burnt
Relaxing in my warm flames
Comforting me deeply inside
A god I am
Finding solace in Heaven
Where Evil Is Lovingly Divine...

Now that I finally got high
I no longer have to watch the birds in the sky
Now I'm gonna fly, so say goodbye
Oh birds in the sky

As I'm swooping by
Through the night
Higher than a kite
Oh my teary eyes

Say goodbye
Cause now I'm high
The sky is ever nigh,
Because I got high...

My Precious Child
I am so very proud of you
Your life was my dream
One surrendered long ago

I am so very proud of you
You are my hope realized
One surrendered long ago
You are my answered prayer

You are my hope realized
Your life was my dream
You are my answered prayer
My Precious Child

I will miss you,
If you ever go away.
Whenever you say adieu,
I will want you to stay.

If you ever go away,
It is then that I will weep.
I will want you to stay.
Because my love is deep

It is then that I will weep,
Whenever you say adieu.
Because my love is deep,
I will miss you....

freaks my dawgs at?
 one kiss at a time
 in their proper places
 stringing my heart along...

 one kiss at a time
 for improper duration
 stringing my heart along...
 unknown whereabouts

 for improper duration
 in their proper places
 stringing my heart along...
 freaks my dawgs at?...

i see you standing there all alone,
i slowly walk up,
picking up speed,
i start to run.

i slowly walk up,
to you at the top of the hill,
picking up speed,
to get to you faster.

High High High
Up in the sky
Fly Fly Fly
I want to fly.

Up in the sky
On my joyride
I want to fly
Go far and wide

On my joyride
Soar Soar Soar
Go far and wide
On wings of glee.

Soar Soar Soar
Merry spirit
On wings of glee
Free Free Free.

Merry spirit!
Fly Fly Fly
Free Free Free
High High High....
