Joanna Smith Poem
darkness come caress me now
and as I die I weep
my body lies here limp and
cold
I prepare myself for eternal
sleep
a million miles of starry skies
to me they look like sparkling
eyes
that come to watch me die
but then they're blocked from
my view
by a deity with soft black wings
i know he's here to comfort
me
though death is what he brings
it's odd
it feels as though he loves me
he strips my clothes away
his wings caress me now as he
holds me
and we begin to sway
he holds me close to his chest
as a mother holds her child
sheltering me as i leave
the wicked and the wild
and i can succumb
because now i feel so weak
then i see a tear
fall from his eyes and wet my
Cheek
it's over now he kisses me
he longs to taste my breath
and as if he longed for more
he sucks it from my chest
his lips linger over mine
for he knows when he pulls
away
the fire in me that screamed to
life
will not see another day
Darkness come caress me now
and as i die he weeps
and now that i feel no longer
scared
he lulls me off to sleep

Joanna Smith Poem
I am running fast,
A storm is rolling in,
Im running,
breathe,
my chest is heaving,
I dropped a tear,
on accident I swear,
I tried to wipe it quickly away,
But it was too late,
They'd seen,
Found weekness in my heart,
And so they came for me,
I stopped running,
Turned to face those demons,
I slaughtered them all,
and the looks on thier face I knew they could now tell,
the tear I dropped was for them,
for sending them to hell,
that night I walked throught the storm,
no longer afraid,
I wore the blood of the demons I'd just slayed,
and I'd never felt more proud,
coated with my accomplishment for the night , I smiled.

Joanna Smith Poem
Smooth bass tones,
they come from my heart,
the world slips from my grasp,
the only thing in my hands now are thick bass strings,
I play,
I tone life out,
I rock the world away,

Joanna Smith Poem
As our world lies in havoc
she waits deep in the inticingly
dark forest
she glances upon us
though to her we are but a
bleak glimmer of misery on the
horizon
our world begins to crumble
our oceans dry and turn to
puddles
and the earth cracks and
begins to break away below
our feet
and as we starve
she picks ripe succulent fruits
from lush strong vines
she plunges her teeth through
the skin
and flavorful juices roll down
her tongue
she runs and plays throughout
the forest and skips through
rolling streams
and the sound of her wet feet
slapping on rocks echo's
through the woods
she cherishes every thing in
her world
while the brutal few still in ours
ravage what is left of it
they victimize the weak and
weary
for them to survive is to fight
is to kill
while the weaker waste away
or survive by taking from the
corpses that litter the earth
burned crisp by the seering sun
but she sings enchantingly
through the black mass of thick
trees
and dances elegantly with fire
flies
for years she watches us with
little intrest
until one intensely dark night
she looks upon our world and
thinks this could be a sad
shame
but she never feels sadness
and she knows that everything
happens for a reason.

Joanna Smith Poem
When a child looks you in the face,
and says "please don't cry,
It'll all be alright."
And he believes it,
Even if he cant tell you how or why.

Joanna Smith Poem
I cant fight this
Sets me reeling everytime
Curls my toes
Flotas my boat
Sends chills down my spine
I want to hold onto this
Im gonna never let it go
To stay like this forever?
You wouldnt dare say no
No need to be ashamed
I enjoy it just like you,
Just wallow in the way this feels
Theres still so much more to do
Its a little much but dont be shy
I aim to please
To make sure you cry
And cringe
And squirm
Yet beg for more
Dont worry
Dnt wonder
Cuz I'm gonna make you sure
But after this
You'll never leave
Cuz you cant touch
What you cant see
I see you but I dont feel
I told you this aint real it's just a game
It's purely pleasure I dnt see love
I'll never touch it aint that a shame

Joanna Smith Poem
Take root deep in me
Trickle down my skin
I did rest my trigger on your finger
And you pulled it again

Joanna Smith Poem
I recall the moment,
All at once i realized that no matter what
The sun will still rise
The breeze will blow
The birds will fly about
I found a certain reasurrance in this that hit me at my core
And all the parts that held me in fell away,
Came crashing to the ground with a theatrical wail
One that screamed "I'll never be the same again"
And then it was over. Crowd trickled out, along with the shoulders to cry on.
They all turned away. And the last one standing then was me. Alone. Free.

Joanna Smith Poem
These tears that pool
In the dark corners of bright rooms
Monsoons couldnt wash them away
These are the ones that define us
The ones that sit in the recesses of our minds
Rusting away at what we think is our core
Provoking the winds that blow closed our shutters and open our doors
These winds that blow fierce
Through your forest and across your bay
You can't catch them in your sails
They are not meant to move you
But to ruffle your feathers
And bring waves to your seas
To shake everything that you thought was serene
And to bring on the tears that pool
In the dark corners of bright rooms

Joanna Smith Poem
I fell in love,
With an idea,
But Idea's wont keep you warm at night
So chilled to the bone,
I fumbled for a match,
And like most little girls who play with matches,
I wound up engulfed in flames.
