Clouds

Clouds so far above
Like a castle in the sky
No matter how high

Raining Light

So much like raindrops
Light from our sun showers Earth
And washes out the bad

Despicable

Hate
Is but a bully picking in a little kid
The horrid odor of garbage and death
Noise of a drill in the street or a drunken man cussing
You may say you hate something but to hate makes you Despicable

To Be Brave

Fear
A scene in a horror movie when the monster wins
The smell of blood on a battle field or sugary sweet
A taste unknown sweet and disgusting
To fear is to be brave

Gone Forever

Death
Like a magic trick where something vanishs
The smell of a rose, decay, and then nothing
Amazing and Frightening sound of silence
Death is cold, lost, and gone forever

A Rose It Is Life a Rose It Is Death

When smelling a Rose of beauty and life it’s life soon to end it’s consumed by fear, With perfume and thorns it will grow in strife But with death upon, there’s not but a tear. When you silently wish for life and love, a Rose! in spring’s sweet bloom, brings this with joy but it’s frozen by winter’s crystal dove and Flies away unremembered like toys. A Rose is Life singing a perfect song it’s melody like snow gently falling. A Rose is Death, for fear’s mercy is wrong if it would take it’s life at Death’s calling. But you know the truth of a rose’s life it will be stolen as if by a knife.

How Alive

alone in my happy Living Room
with anry a soul in sight 
outside the Earth is crying
as the Sky claps with thunder
the Wind whistles through the sir
when Trees fall stomping on the power line
the World is completely pitch black
Door Knob spins itself rapidly
and Door moves aside to reveal Death
Death just as I imagined him
wearing a clock blacker than Night
Earth starts spinning faster than Light
Clouds and Souls that were taken scream
then the Universe is silent; all is dead

Emotions Are a Storm

A tear is a raindrop falling
Falling from the eye of a human instead of clouds
The wailing noise of a clap of thunder
Their happiness is sunshine
Sunshine that shines brighter than the sun

Their anger a tornado destroying everything in its path
Aggression of a mamma bear protecting its cubs
Excitement is a rabbit jumping up and down
Or a small child who ate too much sugar
Their misery a dying lion

When they're scared it's like an animal going to the vet
A monster in a horror movie who wins
A world engulfed in darkness
Spiders crawling all over you

A humans emotions are a natural disaster 
An earthquake that destroys everything
An explosive volcanie
Or a gentle mist of rain and sunlight that forms a rainbow: tears of joy
A humans emotions are a storm good or bad
