Amy Shannon Poem
The gentle watery flow smashing against the ragged rocks.
The snowcap mountains nestled against the bluest sky
wisps of a soft breeze whispering against the blushing cheek
unanticipatory verbiage impacting emotions
to thine own self be true
to rhyme without rhythm
to eat, to pray, to love
the best of times, the worst of times
the state of an era,
the unpredictable elipses
the improper but appropriate pause
inflection for reflection
brilliant salutations
morphemes
contractions
exclamatory fragments
Freedom within thought
freedom to express
Once upon a time ...
it was a dark and stormy night.
Of man's first disobedience ...
We hold these truths to be self-evident...
learned growth,
long journeys into the lost world
satisfaction at the close of the book.
artful, impacting, storytelling.

Amy Shannon Poem
Within the mind
There is me.
There is several parts of me.
The parts I share,
the parts I hide.
Within the mind
there are sandy beaches
that explode with grenades
airplanes that fly to low
and fall out of the sky
within the mind
She falls in love
and he falls in love, with him
She carries the gun
he aims and fires
within the mind
She has the power
her touch can heal
her heart will break
She becomes him
He becomes her
within the mind
the killer is set free
the murder is meant to be
the child cries
hate is erased
within the mind
there is always
one more story to tell

Amy Shannon Poem
Black Love
I can't see you
but I know that you're there
Every time I turn around
i can feel your eyes
I don't know when
i don't know how
your love turned into
something wrong
obsession
the footsteps I hear
behind me
aren't just in my head
the warnings to stay away
you're not listening
are you?
I'm afraid to know
what's going on
inside that head of yours
inside that heart of yours
I didn't know that
obsession
was a feeling of deep within the heart
I don't know when
I don't know how
your love turned wrong
obsession
The shadows outside my window
whispers in the wind
the lights shining in my room at night
the cries on my window sill
the exta pleas and "Please add Me"
on my social networks
and threats to my new friends
and slashes in my tire treads
when I say "no"
I don't know when
I don't know how
your love turned wrong
obsession
stalking
obsession
black love

Amy Shannon Poem
Mind spinning out of control
closing out my heart
self-preservation
trying to get what I want
knowing what I need
obstacles in my way
not sure how to break them down
following the path carefully
regrets of the past
wanting to change the future
desires hidden in the soul
wanting to be something other than I am
taking chances, taking risks
journey to find freedom
wanting to be special
wanting to love
not just be loved
begging for pleasure
hidden soul searching
space, freedom, happiness,
enjoyment of pursuit
pleasure of peace
missing pieces falling into place
being who I am
deep inside
understanding ones mind
understanding ones feelings
understanding ones wants
writing new chapters
following a new path
reaching, touching your soul
knowing who I am
