A Self Poet-Trait

I see me dancing in the moonlight
Naked and exposed
My skin shines like alabaster
My eyes flecked with sparks of gold

I give worship to the one-ness 
From an alter most would curse
For to some I am a heathen
While to others I am worse

But they refuse to lift the shutters
That brings the blindness to their eyes
My goal remains the same as theirs
I've just thrown away disguise

To see
Can I survive
     A witch's burning

Every time
I believe 
That my heart can NEVER
Be broken again

An animal
Like the snow white cat
Even now lying on my porch
Proves me wrong

By such a simple thing
As to purr at me
When I petted her
      As she lay dying

I Took a Walk Today

I took a walk today
I touched the grass
And ran with fleeting thoughts into the recess of my mind
For the grass was dead
All that was left was something I could not define

I took a walk today
I saw a tiny bird
And wept eith bitter tears  that ran streaking down my face
For the bird was dead
Had died softly peeping
Acry that no-one heard for they did not slow their pace

I met a friend today
I felt a pain inside
For I realized this friend cared not for me
I returned to the dead grass and the frigid little bird
I begged God to let me join them in eternity
Rather than stay in this cruel world

And He refused
So here I stay
I took a walk today

Life Is

Life is like a box of chocolates
You know there's a nutty one in there somewhere

Life is like a box of chocolates
All the good ones have already been taken

Life is like a box of chocolates
People keep sampling and putting them back

Life is like a box of chocolates
Without care, they grow stale

Life is like a box of chocolates
You cant always tell what you're getting

Life is like a box of chocolates
Sometimes the first bite turns out really nasty

Life is like a box of chocolates
Too much sweet stuff can make you throw up

Life is SOOO like a box of chocolates
And yet we all struggle on

Dreams

As dreams flutter by
On the wings of a scarlet butterfly
You often hear the tormented and lonely cry
And we are left desolate
Brokenhearted
You and I

Yellow Moon

I can hear footsteps
        Late at night
                In the dark

They whisper in my ear
        That you are leaving me
                 Again

I watch you from my window
         Walking a coward's path
                  Lit by the light

Of a yellow moon

Human

I'm a planet unto myself.
A bright blue ball of pain.
Glowing,
           shimmering,
                       spinning,
Thru the blackness of the universe.
Waiting for the pain pill
To kick in.
So that I can begin to shrink.
Smaller,
          Smaller,
                     Smaller,
And finally become a human
           Once again.

Lost

Searching for the lost child
What a mistake we made
For the lost child isn't lost any more
She ran away

Reality

I ran with flights of fantasy
Where none be sad or hurt
Where love and peace of mind
Were the lessons to be learnt

But now I face reality
With many stops and starts
While longing for my old fantasies
Because reality breaks my heart

Love

I can hear you knocking
At the doorway to my soul.
Seeking passageway,
Using love as your toll.

While here I sit and wonder
Should I begin again?
But I'm not sure, no I'm not sure
That I should let you in.
