Cocooned in tightly
Mahogany floor pinching cold
Taps echo restless waves
Night sky thunders scold
Trees gossip forecast
Soft thumps grace the stairs
Leaves rustle and bustle
Creaking doors whisper in share
Rusty pipes strain in tune
Mice run laps behind the scenes
Plagued breaths filter in and out
Below soulless wooden beams
Ghosts limbo the attic
Cleaned rugs evidence brute

Nestled in her lap
I give a wiggle of my toes
Biscuit in my hand
As she softly bops my nose
Letting out a little giggle
I say “Tell me more!”
As she recites to continue story
And I listen in awe
Lost to my imagination
As her words bring to life told
She finishes in a whisper
“Remember all that glitters Is not gold”...
Dear dearest daughter
How I wish I could take it back
The moment we were parted
A wind blowing of hat
A young primed mind
Told of what was best
An opportunity to fight
Would of seen us both un-blessed
Fear outweighing strength
Nothing much has changed
The same fear resides
For your under a different name
How I beg for forgiveness
Through letters you’ll never read
My deepest regret to...
If wishes fell like rain
What would become of our won?
Would summer cease to reign?
Would freed be our undone?
If wishes fell like rain
Then certainly I am a storm
An unconscious theme among us
From earliest memories born
If wishes fell like rain
Would we still dream big?
Or would we count of our blessings
When natural disasters didn’t give…...
Penanced to that moment
When limbo still lingers
I feel your warmth embrace
The trace of your fingers
I mould to your grasp
Peak a reflexive smile
Like an addict on the fence
Before descending the black mile
Then all too quickly
I’m falling awake
Turning to greet your face
As my stolen begins to ache
Sheets stone cold
Just like your face
When I said my goodbyes
To a lifeless ca...
Submissive to watch
As you swipe downpour away
All from my hand
Your nightmare in light day
Every tear you shed
Sparks fire in my chest
I knew what you signed up for
I’m consumed with detest
Sessions to tame the monster
Chains of weight not weak
I know what I need to do
Be the selfless she seeks
I pick up my bag
Remember her this way
Make a promise to myself
That she deserves bett...
