It's Raining

its raining hard with thunder bolts,

and lighting with a thousand volts,

you try your hardest to keep dry,

it seems the rain wont let you by,

you make a dash from door to door,

trying to dodge the hard down pour,

it cant be beat that endless flow,

you cant shelter from it all night you know,

so brave the torrent and make a dash,

and ignore the thunder volts that crash,

just come on home its cozy here,

And I will say I love you dear.

Are There Pawprints In Heaven

I hear of a place that is made of gold,

a place where we shall never grow old,

But one answer I have not heard at all,

will there be paw prints from my little dog?

He promised us joy right from the start,

I just wonder if she'll be a part.

So as I sit here and dream of the day,

I wonder if heaven she will stay?

When your walking down with the saints of old

take a glimpse of that new road and if there you shall see,

Maybe a pawprint just for me.

The First Thing I Have Ever Done

the first time we spoke

my ears heard a song

the first time we met

my eyes sang along

the first movie I spent

cuddled in your arms

in the background I heard

the whispering of charms

the first time you said

I love you to me

the sounds of my heart

could have parted the sea

all the first in the past

and the first still ahead

all the laughter and fun

and tears that we've shed

such a beautiful song

written by our life

perhaps can continue

as husband and wife

I love you forever

from this moment on

my love will be written

in a poem or a song

Beauty

I am the resplendent shine of a flower,

Fiery in crimson joy upon the soil,

Scintillating, an ember in cyan,

I, never, fade in your world.

I am the tiny wings of a rose,

Luminous at dusk and blazing at dawn,

Gleaming in happiness like a polar star,

Illuminate your galaxy all the time.

Roses

No matter where you see a Red Rose

Whether it’s in a store or wild and free

You always see it withering

There’s never a chance to grieve until it’s gone

But if you look onto a Yellow Rose

The color is always perfect

The petals are never drooping

And they’re always of abundance

Starry Night

Starry Night, Starry Night,
The stars shining in the sky.
The stars twinkling in my eye,
Like the sun in the daytime sky,
Or the moon in the early evening.
The nebulae are big and bright,
Like a supernova explosion in broad daylight.
Starry night, starry night
Oh, what a beautiful sight

The Beautiful World

Luscious scents tickle your nose.

Odorous perfume, beautiful rose.

Soft silky petals,

sharp thorns like pointy needles.

Countless colors paint their blooms,

their dazzling beauty consumes.

A great gift to please our eyes.

Nothing So Rare As A Day In June

Nothing so rare as a day in June,

the air so fine and the blossoms all blue.

The weather just perfect, the skies never gray

The bugs always buzzing and the tree's seem to sway

The sun beats so warmly on the tenderness of my skin,

and the birds..they fly, far away in the wind,

June is the month that carries a tune,

it's beautiful melody floats like a balloon.

Oh! It Was A Wind

I felt a strong air on my hair

oh! it was a wind

side by side, the leaves sway and sway

yesterday was a windy day!

I felt a strong breeze on my knees

oh! it was a wind!

it blew harder and harder as it can,

until the heat of the sun was gone!

the kids that play on the ground

come running and stepping with sound

the kites that fly so high,

made the children laugh and sigh!

I felt a strong air on my hair,

I felt a strong breeze on my knees

and then I realized,

oh! it was a wind!

Wing Howling

Awoken from my nightmarish dreams,

The sounds of wind, howling

Its fists beating against my windows.

Branches scraping,

Like fingernails against the chilled glass.

Shadows creeping across the room

seeking, searching,

a lost child.

Wind howling still,

Like the ongoing, mournful cry of a wolf,

baying at the full moon.

On and on cries the wind

Forever searching for ears to listen,

longing to be heard.

The Late Hours

The sun had gone down.

Silent in my heart, peace in my soul;

Morning fog flakes, now, dissipated,

Winds swept them to the unknown land.

The tits had flown west,

On their way to their only nest.

Orange curtains still covered heaven,

Blazing like a wild, hot fire.

The clouds had sunken into the oceans,

Forever, gone...joy mourned.

The Grand Canyon

She picked up her brush and began to paint

Her pallet of earth sometimes was faint

The depth of scene was beyond reach of eye

Topped now and again by a turquoise sky

The colors of her painting began to run

At first a trickle… the torrent had begun

Upon her painting, eyes would struggle to look away

Her thoughts were of a landscape where hearts would play

Stepping back from the canvas, in her gaze it seems

The painting was beyond her wildest dreams

The sound of water echoed upon the wall

As she hung the painting in the great hall

She unveiled her canvas and offered it to him

Then foot prints appeared on the edge of the rim

She knew they would come from the world around

Drawn by a painting… created in the ground

Wild Horse

Aloft the wind

I ride the night sky

I see the world through a much different eye

Power, beauty

Strength and grace

I feel the spirits of ancestral space

Pride of herd

Sisters and brothers

I live ever watchful standing by others

A kaleidoscope of colors

No two ever the same

The short, the tall, the long of mane

I know the chance

I know the fear

I live on the edge for death crouches near

On my back I carry a load

Through storm and calm

Ever vigilant and bold

I have died in battle

Killed by man

Hunted by predator as I roamed the land

No more room

Not enough grazing

Captured, shot, sold by pound on bills of lading

Yet I survive

Sometimes an insurmountable course

I am feral, I am Mustang, I am Wild Horse

The Wind

The wind it moves in wondrous ways

Through the tree branches it blows and its sways

It takes all the leaves and flies them so high

Then briefly it lets go and they fall from the sky

Its strength is so varied from timid to strong

The length of the blowing can be short or long

Sometimes it tickles the tip of your nose

Sometimes sends shivers to the tips of your toes

It can bring some surprises with each passing day

The wind will surprise you in many a way

The sweet sound of whistling, the roar of a storm

It can bring you some happiness and also bring harm

The next time you see a bag blow down the street

The next time you feel the wind at you feet

Remember its power, its beauty and grace

For the wind can be anywhere, it can be any place.

Something Beautiful

Watching the last of these days disappear

feeling the air get colder

seeing the world get darker.

Memories of lying on the grass

of the sun warming my closed eyes.

Now, the warmth is gone

the sunshine is gone

the world has turned into something new

something colder, something darker

something different,

something Beautiful.

Fall Has Arrived

The gush of wind blew my hair,

Straight up to the unforgiving air.

Fall was peaking around the trees,

Leaves would pile high,

soon up to my knees.

Hello orange, yellow, and red,

goodbye green,

Bye-bye June, July, and August,

hello Halloween.

The warmth is gone and won

You Were There For Me

You were there my Friend

You saw me crying when my heart was broken,

You saw how hard it is for me to take it,

you never left me alone when I needed someone,

You lend your shoulder for me to cry on,

You wiped my tears with your precious hanky'

you lent your ears for me to open up my pain,

You never stopped listening to all my worries

your advise and sympathy helped me move on,

you made me forget the pain that crushed my heart,

And now that I have finally moved on,

I want the world to know;

how lucky I am to have you,

Because, you were always there my friend.

Memories Of Friendship

Somewhere in a distance

I see pigeons fly

Sharing wonderful moments

When they are above the sky

Thinking all the memories

They made on yesterday

Sitting on the branches

Of experience, agonies and gay

Listening to the music

Of a solemn day

All the fun they made

In the sand will lay

Memories of friendship

I know it will never end

As pigeons fly high

And protect their relationship

Believe, You Are Loved

When you are in a crowd,

When you are alone;

When you are in pain,

When your world is dazzling with delight;

When life isn’t fair,

When your joy multiplies exponentially;

When you rise up, When you lie down,

And all times in between;

Realize that is when you are thought of,

Know then is when you are appreciated,

Believe this is when you are loved.

Suicide

Yesterday last year, you were right here,

And yet now you feel so far away,

Your rotting underground but your face is in my head,

I don’t understand it because you’re meant to be dead.

I don’t get why you did what you did,

But who am I to judge,

You had you’re reasons and I didn’t own your life,

But I wish you had thought of us.

Now I’m remembering it’s getting harder to forget,

Getting my home to see my Mum’s face all wet,

I ask myself questions that burn in my head,

I need safety, comfort, so I go under my bed.

The dull pain of grief throbs stronger every time,

I can’t understand and I’m sure I never will,

I don’t want to miss you you’ve committed a crime,

Because now when I think of you all I feel is a chill.

There’s an empty space where you’re meant to be,

There’s a space in the puzzle that only you can fit,

I don’t understand why you did what you did,

But the day you did it I stopped being a kid.

Let Me Go

Just a girl

In this world while it twirls when it whirls

her head in a haze

can't seem to find away out

If she screams no matter what she shouts

Not a soul hears her cry

There's nothing but dark skies

She's consumed by her morbid thoughts

Everything around, the pain has brought

Her slit wrists

Her bloody grip

She raised her arm once more

on the bathroom floor

the blood reaches her neck life flows out

still not a soul listens for her shout

she's left she's flown

to a happier place

where even her scars are no disgrace

that girl now has a smile on her face

Deep Inside

When I smile deep inside I want to frown
when I laugh deep inside I want to cry
when you look into my eyes
You think every thing is alright
But deep inside
I want to die
maybe one day
I won’t feel like this
till then I’ll be happy in the outside
and crying in the inside

In The Silence

I take a glance,

at the scars on my wrists

they tell me,

it doesn't have to be like this

I want to talk,

to let it out

but nobody is there to listen,

even when I shout

depression is dark

so speak up

before it takes you away

and covers your mouth

My Daughter's Tears

Until it affects someone we love,

We don’t even know it’s there.

It’s really not our problem,

So why should we care.

The statistics are quite shocking,

One in four they say

Will suffer from depression

In their lives one day.

There’s not much stigma anymore

For this serious mental flaw.

But no one knows where it will strike,

It’s just the luck of the draw.

No one would choose to live with it,

And some don’t even try.

I see my daughter suffering

And all she can do is cry.

Most people turn the other cheek,

They’ve been doing it for years.

But I must face the pain I see,

In my daughter’s tears.
