Reflections

Reflections of a day gone by
                           Reflections in the mirror of tears in my eyes
                           Reflections in a window pane
                           Trying to erase all the pain
                           Reflections of your face near me
                           Reflections of what never would be
                                      You said you loved me
                                       You didn't stay
                            Reflections of a lie,that never goes away.

You Don'T Know Me

There's more to me than the color of my eyes
                            The way i smileor give a sigh
                           If you looked deeper within me
                            You may be amazed at what you see
                             I'm creative and imaginative
                             I care about the world in which we live
                             I believe in freedom and equal rights
                                   Also quiet summer nights
                             I believe in unity and family ties
                             And the sounds of newborn cry's
                             The earth's new awakening,in spring
                              I read nonfiction to learn new things
                              So look past the surface and you will see
                               The person that is really me

Keep the Monster Away

As the saying goes,an apple a day will keep the doctor away
                                   But what is a worm to do
                               I lie in a apple close to the core
               Ever so often i slither up to my brown bedroom door
                              I stick my head out to peek at the world
                              To my surprise,there's a monster out there
                                     Picking apples real fast
                                I held my breath,i could only gasp
                                     My heart was thumping
                  The apples were bumping in a basket down below
                   A monster reached out and grabbed my home
                    Opened his mouth,of long white teeth
                     Said ,''im hungry'', i need something to eat
                     My heart stood still,i couldn't breath
                     Thought this would be the end of me.

The Golden Years

The world has heard of the golden years
                            Is it a myth or a phrase
                   When do they begin,when do they end
                    When you are young you can run the race
                    But when you're old you can't wash your face
                     Your bones ache in pain at night
                      Your joints are rusty ,and you lose your sight
                     When they tell you about the pot of gold
                      At the end of a rainbow,you can't hear
                                 Must be the golden years.

Web of Love

Like the spider's web
                             You trapped my heart
                          With your network of art
                       You spun your web around my heart
                             It wasen't a trap
                             Or a mishap
                             It was meant to be
                         So i'll live happily in the web
                          That you spun for me.

Please Ol Master

The ol master was fast asleep
                 In his bedroom,a little mouse creeped
                 He stood on the floor by the masters bed
                        And made his request
                        Please ol master
                 Leave out a chunk of cheese
                 And i won't gnaw on your sleeve
                 One day i'll grow into a big rat
                          Please ol master
                          Lock up your cat

Higher Power

As i sit down to write again
                        I ask a higher power to guide my hand
                        The words spill out like a song
                         And i begin to write a poem
                         I'll never be as great as edgar allan poe
                         He was the greatest poet i know
                         So i keep writing, and let God guide my hand
                         And if it's in Gods plan for me
                         I'll write a poem for the world to see.

Shut Down

Everything went black on a cold winter's day
                  Not a helping hand in sight
                  Silence deafening
                  Everyones weak
           No sounds of machines
                  Not even a beep
            No telephones ringing
            No sounds of singing
          Cries in the night, sound far away
          Some closer to their grave
         A gentle hand touches my face
         I'm still here in a dark place
           Is this infinity, or a day
         Having a bad dream, during my stay.
